LAX Shooter: Some Kind of Kook

Posted on | November 3, 2013 | 33 Comments

There’s this weird little game going on between the Justice Department and the media where bits and pieces of LAX gunman Paul Ciancia’s one-page manifesto keep getting leaked out, and yet it seems no one has the entire note. So the shooter supposedly ranted about the “New World Order” and “fiat currency,” which is being interpreted by some as evidence of a right-wing motive — except, no it’s not: It’s Jared Loughner and Zeitgeist all over again.

Perhaps you’ve forgotten how Loughner, the 2011 Tucson shooter,  was a big fan of the pseudo-“documentary” Zeitgeist, which wraps up 9/11 Truther stuff in a lot of conspiracy theory crap about bankers, “fiat currency,” and other such paranoid kook stuff.

Now, the New York Times:

James Mincey, who told ABC News that he was a former roommate, said he met Mr. Ciancia for lunch a week before Friday’s attack.
>“He would always talk about documentaries he would watch about whatever, but there was never any kind of hatred, or any hatred group, or anything like that,” Mr. Mincey told ABC News.

 “He would always talk about documentaries he would watch”?

Hey, what kind of “documentaries” was Ciancia watching?

And while we’re at it, did Ciancia like to smoke a little weed, play a lot of video games? Because it seems to me we’ve had kind of a streak of incidents like this, going back nearly 15 years to the Columbine massacre, all of which involve a general category of perpetrators: Creepy little weirdos, mentally ill or borderline cases, who like to get high and play video games, and who go off the rails without anyone much noticing because who are we to judge? It’s those Strange Young Men:

My theory is that non-judgmentalism and the ACLU-inspired concern about the rights of suspected criminals have been diffused so deeply and widely throughout our culture that people are afraid to pay attention to their common-sense hunches, or to act on their suspicions about people whose behavior is, in fact, genuinely suspicious.”

People need to be paying attention to this, but they’re not.

    I am not sure if the ACLU can be blamed here. A general distrust of the government, and the fact that most people who spout off are doing just that, might have more to do with it. Face it, psychiatry, and psychotropics, seem to lead to more danger than they prevent for many people.

    As for documentaries? I don’t watch them, but… when is the last time you looked at the “History” channel, or Discovery channel, or tons of others. They seem full of conspiracy things, everything from alien influence to the government, who knows, killed Elvis? Crazy stuff, all day it seems.

    Excellent observation about the selective leaking. If there is anything we have learned about the Obama-Holder Justice Department, it is that it is very accomplished at leaking what it wants out and covering up the rest.

    Take a break from both reporting on Team Kimberlain and reporting on criminal adult deviant activities with underage minors. Instead spend some quality time reporting on the Zeitgeist loons.

    I have wondered why after the initial “right wing” writings, little else has been released, or discovered by the media. Given the lack of blame typically leveled towards conservatives, I can only surmise there is something embarrassing to the left that is being intentionally withheld. Either that, or Holder’s Justus department has suddenly become ethical…. Naw, it must be something embarrassing to the left.

    The Southern Poverty Law Center blames conservatives. Naturally.
