Oh, Chris Chan? Yeah, that guy's...disturbed.
You think HE'S bad? You should see some of the people who talk about him. Chris is mostly harmless, but some people are really goddamn mean and manipulative.
Didn't you say he was involved in a hit and run though? And he posted naked drawings of a friend of his online and...well, this probably isn't the correct thread for it. Suffice it to say, he has serious issues and I'm in no way defending trolls.
Not even the trolls. Just some of the people who get involved in discussing him. He just brings out the weirdos of the night, lemme tell ya.
Either way, I spent over a year discussing Chris. The thing about him is that he's mostly harmless, like a child with the privileges of adulthood: he's prone to doing stupid things on a whim, but he's heavily under the grip of his elderly mother and he doesn't even really get out of the house much, and he's scared of punishment. The hit and run's a long story, but it wasn't really a planned action. He's nearly hit people before, but it was usually an almost animalistic panic where he just happened to speed closer to other people than planned. Didn't help that his mother was along with him, and she's REALLY nutso.
What makes this ex-cop the same as Chris is that he seems to be capable of similar twistings of logic, where anyone can be made into his enemy and it's never his fault.
But he's got things that someone like Chris doesn't have: Maliciousness. Knowledge. Equipment. Cold determination, rather than random flailing. An intelligent mind.
He also doesn't seem to be the average mass shooter. Someone who just wants to go on a killing spree will pick a location with a ton of people and just kill until they're done. They may have some specific reason for the targets (the Columbine kids specifically targeted kids who wore sports team clothing, for instance, and there's the classic instances of a bullied kid "snapping" as they usually say), but their preferred method is to just kill almost everyone that crosses their path. Indiscriminately.
This guy not only has a plan, but even in his twisted logic he's got himself a set list of targets. Notice how instead of killing the man who defended him at the hearing (unsuccessfully), he killed his
daughter. I think he was doing that intentionally, wanting to cause misery. He's not indiscriminately wandering around a police station shooting as many people as he can. He's very focused.
