Explaining The Utah Mall Shooting

Last night at a mall in Utah, an 18 year old gunman went apeshit and mowed some people down. I went to CNN.com, read this article, and became absolutely fucking irate for a number of different reasons. Stories and news coverage like this just really drive me to the point where I consider acting out violently.

First off, what kind of fucking person makes the decision to put this picture on the main page of the most popular news sites in the world. CNN is a fucking worldwide news company, respected by the international community. They're a fucking joke, and their ethics make me want to puke all over my keyboard.

This poor girl is fucking dead. I'm sure there are plenty of people who cared about this girl, who loved her, and I bet they're in absolute agony right now. I bet they're crying and mourning the loss of someone they care about. And then they get a phone call saying "Hey, I think CNN has Jane Doe dead on their main page, lying there in front of Bath and Body Works."

Isn't that fucking cute? How do you think the family feels, knowing that a daughter, a sister, maybe an aunt or a cousin is lying there dead on the front page of CNN. Now, I know you might call me a hypocrite seeing as I have the picture here. I have a lot of readers, in the thousands per day, but not millions per day like CNN. I'm showing the picture in defense of this poor girl, not to exploit her. That is the key difference.

I once got myself into a bit of trouble in a similar situation a couple years ago. I was reading the online publication of my local newspaper, and a young stupid girl had left her baby in the car, in the sun, and the baby died. She was a young mother, and just didn't realize how hot it gets in the car in Florida I guess. Dumb ignorant bitch, but regardless, she just her new baby. She was on her knees, and just fucking bawling her eyes out, completely suffering. The absolute greatest pain a woman can feel.

And this cocksucking photographer, by the name of Matt Beck snaps a few pictures of her right in this moment. And of course the paper publishes it. I see the picture, and in the exact same way I feel right now, I go apeshit. I can't even comprehend how a human being can be so evil and black as to be able to take a picture of something like that, and then publish it for your own gain.

I email the guy, ripping him a new asshole in the standard Sick Matt fashion. He doesn't email me back. I call him, and get him right at his fucking desk. I tell him who I am, and I start debating him. I tell him he has no soul, and that he is lower than a piece of shit. I accuse him of masturbating to pain. I right out accused him of jacking off to death, I accused him of loving snuff porn.

I eventually threatened him, and told him that I was going to find him, rip his camera out of his hands, and smash it over his fucking face. I (bad idea) went out of my way to convince him I was serious. I literally told him "I'm not just pissed dude, I'm really going to smash your camera over your fucking head the next time you're in public." He called the cops and I got a phone call. I just denied the accusations and that was it. It was a 1 minute conversation with the officer.

So I don't know why this stuff makes me so mad. It really burns me up. The lack of compassion for death and suffering I suppose. It's one thing when it's someone who sucks a fat dick, like Gerald Ford or Anna Nicole. I don't care about them. It's the average Joe's and Jane's who I stick up for, who deserve a little bit of fucking humanity in their time of suffering, or death. I really don't know why this makes me as crazy as it does, but that's just me.

And as for the actual crime itself; I feel for the kid. 18 years old and fucking angry at the world. I've been there. I've seen it before and I've talked about this before on the site. Doing something like this is just suicide with another ingredient. Anger. Suicide happens when the pain you feel outweighs your ability to cope. Well sometimes, your anger and sadness make an enormous weight, that completely smash your coping skills. Anger + Depression>Coping Skills=Killing Spree. That's the formula.

Who creates these little fuckers? I'll tell you who does, it's these fucking alpha male truck driving football fuckers who have kids. Yeah, it's you cunts. You raise your kids to be little miniature versions of you, so they just go to skill and fuck with kids all day because hey, they're mini alpha males like their daddies!

So they spend the next 12 years of their school life fucking with kids every chance they get, just so they can feel superior. These kids deal with this abuse every day of their life until they just fucking lose it. They lose their ability to cope, and this is what happens. If they're not intelligent enough, or wealthy enough to go to a psychiatrist, then stuff like this happens. He just had no other way to deal with his pain anymore. He was just a kid.

I know 18 is legally an adult, but you know as well as I know that you hadn't a fucking clue about the world when you were 18 years old. I thought I knew it all, but I was wrong. I'm not excusing his behavior. Obviously, he had no soul either. And this is he story I'm trying to tell here. We have two people who did things that required the lack of a fucking soul. Of a heart. Two evil acts. Person X, whoever decided to take the picture of a girl who was just slaughtered and put it on the main page of CNN.com and the 18 year old kid who couldn't figure out any other way to deal with his pain anymore. He didn't just commit mass murder, he committed suicide. Blind revenge was his method of suicide. Out with a bang, fuck you world.

The difference is that this kid's soul was killed long ago. Slowly but surely, the world was just far to fucked up to him, and it ruined him. People ruined him. Life ruined him, and he paid it back. It was the worst possible choice he could have made, but it was the only one that made sense to him. But with CNN, it's much different. It's just a truly evil person who has no respect for life or death. A person who feels nothing, dead to normal human emotions of compassion, only concerned with getting as many people to the website as possible.

In closing, I say fuck you alpha male cunts who don't teach your kids how to be real young men. Who don't teach your kids to be heroes, to kick the asses of the bullies. You should tell your sons that if you ever pick on a kid, you're in big fucking trouble. I'm not going to preach as to how that message needs to be delivered. But you need to tell your fucking kids not to fuck with other kids. It'll never happen though. As long as we have these truck-driving, beer chugging, football watching standard "Rawr I'm a man" guys, we'll kids who shoot up their schools or go on killing sprees. And as long as media exists, there will be absolute scumbags who will continue to find new lows to get ratings or hits.

Matt,

What I find most interesting about this whole incident is that the gunman was Sulejman Talovic, a Bosnian refugee, while the media has characterized this event as a "Columbine style killing".

Did you fail to note that he was cited on the security cameras, and by witnesses, smiling while he shot down these 5 people? That he was a Muslim, hunting Christians, in a predominantly Mormon ran mall? That his backpack was full of ammunition, and he was ready to kill hundreds, not just 5?

BTW, Matt. Congrats.

This statement comes from the same kid who says things like...

"I am the fucking man."

...or...

"I am a conqueror. That's just what I do."

...or...

"I literally told him 'I'm not just pissed dude, I'm really going to smash your camera over your fucking head the next time you're in public.'"

...or...

"Matt Sick: Conqueror of Earth"

...or...

"Saint Matt is Alive"

...or...

"I am hardcore."

"Compare yourself to me and then kill yourself."

...or...

"Only the strong survive."

...or...

"Survival of the fittest."

...or...

"... I use my awesome massive brains ...inevitably succeeding and conquering all."

So, Matt, I guess you could say...as long as we have people like YOU, we will have kids shooting up malls and schools, huh?

Matt, I don't think you understand what "alpha" means. Unless, of course, you are putting your own spin on it, like you do everything else.

Let me teach you something (seems like I have been doing a lot of that lately)...

According to Wikpedia...

"In humans, the alpha male often refers to a man who is powerful or high on the social ladder, similar to hegemonic masculinity. In Western cultures, the term is sometimes pejorative and describes a man who is overly masculine and should be feared."

I am 6'4", 335 lbs. I played college football. I could (not anymore) bench three of you. I use to drive a truck. I use to do some "beer chugging." So, according to you I am an "alpha male." So, according to you my child will make someone else a killer, right?

Now, let me tell you this. I am a christian. I am a good man. I have an IQ of 148. I have always been the one who stuck up for the handicapped or the kids who couldn't protect themselves from being bullied. I did not stick up for kids like you who tried to make up for their lack of stature by trying to prove that they are "hardcore" or by acting smarter than they truly are. It is obvious you have been bullied for your lifestyle, piercings, and attitude. Some people bring upon themselves the bullying they recieve. You are one of them. I would not be the one who bullied you, but I would be the one who would tell you to quit trying to act so tough, you are just bringing it on yourself. When I use to go out to the clubs in college, all of my friends had a saying..."If you start it, you finish it." If you are dumb enough to start a physical altercation, then you better be willing to pay the price.

You seem to be of the opinion that the "alpha male" is the reason for a person not controlling their anger. The reason a person can't control their anger has nothing to do with anyone other than the person who lacks the self-control. As a grade schooler, I was picked on for being fat. Kids use to bully me all of the time, and kids are very harsh. Have I ever killed anyone? NO!!! Have I gone on killing sprees? NO!!! I was capable of dealing with the pressures of being a kid (because all children are made fun of at some point in life) and continuing on to become a normal, fulfilled, integral part of society. Why didn't I kill anyone? I was picked on. You seem to think that this makes people kill. Don't tell me your thought process is flawed!

So, according to Wikpedia, I am an "alpha male." I am a man who is overly masculine and should be feared. According to you I can't be an "alpha male" because I don't behave the way you expect an "alpha male" to act. So, who is right...Wikpedia, or Matt the Sick???

"Alpha males," like myself, don't need to say "rawr I'm a man." We are like mastiffs. We don't need to bark, because we already know we are intimidating. It is people like you, who lack the physical prowess who have to scream "I am the fucking man" ...or..."I am a conqueror. That's just what I do"...or..."I am hardcore"...or..."Compare yourself to me and then kill yourself."

Pastor Jim,

Blah, Blah, Blah. When you're done saving Matt's poor, misguided soul, can we get back to discussing the real story behind the Utah mall shooting? Why is the fact that this shooter was Muslim never mentioned in all of the media coverage? That fact is the elephant in the room that no one is talking about. This was not a Columbine style shooting, it was a terrorist attack by yet another radical Muslim.

Ken, you say, "can we get back to discussing the real story..." That is why I replied with "You seem to think that this makes people kill. Don't tell me your thought process is flawed!"

Matt has his ideas on why this person did the killing, and I let him know that his thinking is flawed. So, next time, read the statements a little better.

Pastor Jim,

You're WAY too focused on Matt. (Isn't he too old for you anyway?) I'm focused on the story.

No "thinking" is flawed. The only flaw is if you don't think. I wouldn't pass judgement on thinking. Get off your high horse and address the topic, not Matt's attitude. He expressed his opinion on the topic. How about you? Do you have an opinion on the topic?

Matt,

So... How much you bench? Could you bench Pastor Jim?

Very interesting. Let me explain some things.

The media did in fact skew the way they described this man. I still believe he was fucked up obviously, but for other purposes. The world in general fucked this kid up. War fucked this kid up. Not bullies. But everything I said still remains true: Kids bully kids and then they shoot up schools. They're driven to madness.

And for the anonymous comment, thank you for the congrats. Your theory isn't a bad one, but I disagree with it. I don't see this being a religion thing. I see it being more of an "I hate the world and I don't know what to do about it" thing. It's a good thing someone was there to put the motherfucker down.

Now let me get to the big cock lover, Pastor Fuckshit. Listen here fucko, you're ignorant and stupid and you didn't read my post. You don't understand what I was saying, because you're fucking dim.

"I am 6'4", 335 lbs. I played college football. I could (not anymore) bench three of you. I use to drive a truck. I use to do some "beer chugging." So, according to you I am an "alpha male." So, according to you my child will make someone else a killer, right?"

First off, you need to lose weight. Even for being a tall guy, you're at a huge risk for high blood pressure. I was not saying that Pastor Jim's son will make someone a killer. What I said was that the problem is standard alpha male fuckos in the US raise kids who feel the need to fuck with those smaller and weaker than them because their fucking cuntfaced parents don't teach them how to treat people.

I don't know why you make these long diatribes. I don't know why you're so obsessed with me and my cock, but let me address a few more things.

"It is obvious you have been bullied for your lifestyle, piercings, and attitude. Some people bring upon themselves the bullying they recieve. You are one of them."

Everyone has been bullied one time or another in their life. I'm sure even you were picked on for being a fatty. I personally was picked on a few times, but nothing extreme. Nothing to make me want to kill people. No more than any other kid in school. Here's what you don't know about me.

When I was in school, I did my fair share of picking on kids. Then somewhere around 5th grade, when I became a safety patrol, I had t his epiphany. The great "real power is having it and not using it" epiphany. And since that day, I have never picked on a kid. From that day on, I was the kid who picked on the bullies. It was the reason I was forced to get home schooled by 8th grade, because I was fighting so much in school. Trust me guy, I have never been one to be bullied.

Like I am today, I have always been the one to stand up for the weak, for the people who don't have a voice or the courage to fight back. That's who I am. And if you disagree, I will call you an ignorant cunt. Remember, I know me.

And stop taking my silly ego-centric sayings out of context. Those comments are made for to be silly and mighty. Not manly. It's a character thing, don't be a fucking dummy.

And yes Ken, I know that Pastor Jim likes to personally attack me on every single post. He's mad because I accuse him of fucking boys. Perhaps if so many christian men, so many very religious men, didn't fuck boys, I wouldn't make the accusation.

PJ, trust me fuck head. I went to school in this generation. I've counseled friends who have been fucked with in school and I know how this stuff goes. I study psychology as a hobby. I know why kids shoot up schools and I know why people go apeshit like this. While this case is a bit different than the typical school shooting, the base cause is still the same. Their depression surpasses their ability to cope with the pain. It's suicide by vengeance.

Thanks for the support Ken. And thanks for the anonymous comment, and for not being a douche.

I definitely could not bench PJ.

Matt,

I agree that we cannot conclude that the shooter's religion played a role in the event. However, we cannot exclude it either at his point. I find it interesting with such focus on acts of terrorism committed by young Muslim men, that the media would choose to overlook the fact that he was a young Muslim man. If I were a journalism student assigned by my professor to cover this story and I neglected to mention that fact, I would expect to fail that assignment. Why is this acceptable in today's media?

The bench press thing was rhetorical. I was poking fun at PJ.

Matt, you say, "I have never picked on a kid. From that day on, I was the kid who picked on the bullies." That is PURE GENIUS!!! So, are you a bully, or a bully-bullier, or just mislead?

"It was the reason I was forced to get home schooled by 8th grade, because I was fighting so much in school." You are transparent. This was obvious without you having to say it.

"I have always been the one to stand up for the weak, for the people who don't have a voice or the courage to fight back." Do the DEAD not count as "weak" or "people who don't have a voice???" You seem to disrespect them an awful lot!

"I went to school in this generation." Lets see...7th grade is about 12 years old. You haven't been to school in over 9 years. I was last in school 12 years ago. What's your point?

"I study psychology as a hobby." I, on the other hand, studied psychology in college.

"Their depression surpasses their ability to cope with the pain. It's suicide by vengeance." This is a contradictory statement. It's either suicide by the inability to cope, or its suicide by vengeance. It can't be both. Depression effects how you associate with everyone...vengeance is narrowly directed towards the individual who has harmed you.

And, the entirity of your post was to place the responsibility on to the bullies instead of the bullied..."So they spend the next 12 years of their school life fucking with kids every chance they get, just so they can feel superior. These kids deal with this abuse every day of their life until they just fucking lose it."

You are plainly saying that my kid (a child of an alpha male) will spend his school years bullying your kid (a child of a non-alpha male) to the point of your child losing it (shooting up a school)! That is quite an easy cop out for someone who can't control his anger to kill people. Maybe he should have played football and got his anger out in a legal, healthy manner?!
