Only 77? Dude’s young enough to serve two terms as president.
He was already a convicted felon, so he’s got the credentials to be a GOP candidate.
2? Rookie numbers.
Yeah, some people are genuinely natural born killers. I was watching a documentary by Morgan Freeman (yes, god himself) on religion and the problem of evil. He interviewed a murderer who is sentenced to lifelong imprisonment. And the killer knows he did wrong but just doesn’t feel bad about it at all. CT scan of his brain showed that part of the brain linked to empathy is not active on him. So yes, unfortunately some people are just evil.
i think religious indoctrination plays a part too,I find it quite revealing when someone asks an atheist: “well if hell doesnt exist why dont you just go around killing and raping whoever you want?”
Like bruh, because I am not a monster.
These people are called “sociopaths”. Most sociopaths aren’t killers, though. They will often go into a field where their lack of empathy is rewarded, such as business management.
Beware the (only) highly empathetic too, while you’re at it.
Get the right (wrong) combination and you have:
Someone who can understand and read the changes they are engendering in others, adjust manipulation in real time, feel terrible about it, but be able to justify it to themselves as improving the lot of others if they genuinely lack the intelligence to comprehend the whole “you can lead a horse to water but not make it drink” adage.
Self-awareness is tragically never a guarantee; much less using it to take responsibility for shortcomings.
Was it Why Does Evil Exist??
“Too old to be a threat“
Whoever came up with this reasoning forgot to wear his thinking cap.
At 77 too …
So, two things:
-
Did the people who decide age doesn’t matter never experience “old man strength”? If you haven’t, go shake the hand of some gnarly old guy, bonus points if he does his own gardening. When you pry your fingers from that stone-like grip, let us know.
-
Pointy things don’t need strength, they often only need a target. Also: Grandma’s Boomstick, just saying.
Look, the point I’m trying to make is that these people are idiots. Even raisin face McPalpatine came back after he skydived through an electric funnel. Lessons people, lessons!

But what about using a gun to kill someone?
Worst part is the judge acknowledged that he wasn’t going to age out of wanting to kill, merely the ability to. But like you said, guns are pretty easy to use even if you’re old.
Such an unusual “oversight”
The gun was too old obviously
Poison works pretty well for the elderly too, at least according to all the murder mysteries I’ve seen on the BBC.
I think this is an excellent indicator of why the current prison system needs to change
What are you suggesting, more death penalties or eternal sentences?
Look at countries where it works better. Hint : both your proposals are wrong.
Thanks for the fun guessing game but I’d much rather you actually just say what you think would have solved this
Just roughly look at the EU, or specifically the nordic countries. Low prison sentences, no death sentences, extremely low risk on prisoners redoing a crime etc.
“Gotcha bitch!”
tell that to my arthritis
In normal cases, age is the number of ouchies you get when you get out of your recliner
