The guy who terrorized New York City by invading a building, shooting unarmed people, and then proceeding to kill more unarmed people in an upstairs Blackstone corporate office said in a suicide note that he has CTE (head injury from football) and requested his brain be studied. Cue the sympathizers.

Thoughts: What a wild world where the terrorists play the victim card, the masses sympathize with him, and the actual victims of his heinous crimes are mostly ignored (and often blamed).

As for CTE, I’m old enough to remember when guys who chose to participate in activities and careers that are known for knocking their brains around were not murderous terrorists. But I’m old-school.

Update: NYPD is sending an entire team of people to Nevada to try to figure out the motive of the latest young male to grab a firearm and start shooting people in broad daylight in New York. I can save them a ton of time, money, and resources: they are pissed off and taking their aggressions out on whomever they are angry at on any given day. Now get back to work in New York where they need you the most, where angry dudes are walking down the street with rifles, completely unnoticed because no one is paying attention to them, including the police. There, I just saved you $500,000.

Update: oh by the way, Blackstone is a private equity firm mostly for the pensioners who are no longer contributing anything to the economy, other than the occasional new car or rec vehicle purchase every three years, and the ultrarich. They buy vast swaths of residential homes to turn them into unaffordable rentals to enrich their clients.
