How about "Batshit Crazy"? That seems like a "good fit" to me.

And,"No,that is NOT an excuse". There IS no rational excuse for that sort of thing,and you are wasting your time looking for a reason that makes sense.

Police identify 47-year-old man who killed 5 people, injured 2 others in Lakewood, Denver shooting spree

The 47-year-old man who shot and killed five people and injured two others during an hour-long killing spree across Denver and Lakewood was previously under investigation by law enforcement, police said at a news conference Tuesday.

Police identified the shooter as Lyndon McLeod, 47, and said he knew many of the people he targeted. McLeod had previously been investigated by law enforcement in 2020 and 2021 but the investigations did not lead to state or federal charges, Denver police Chief Paul Pazen said.

“This individual was on the radar of law enforcement,” Pazen said. ...  Boston Herald

Alleged Denver gunman who killed five self-published gruesome novels filled with murder
KATE FELDMAN - 1h ago

Lyndon McLeod brought his violent novels to life Monday night when he allegedly gunned down five people, targeting tattoo shops around Denver.

McLeod, 47, was identified by police Tuesday as the suspect in a cross-city “killing spree” that left five dead and three injured, including an officer. He was eventually killed by police.

Denver police Chief Paul Pazen confirmed Tuesday that McLeod had been “on the radar of law enforcement” and had been investigated in 2020 and 2021, but no charges were ever filed and Pazen did not specify the nature of the investigations.

But books written under a pen name seem to shed more light on McLeod’s predilections before the deadly shooting rampage.

A three-book series called “Sanction,” written under the pseudonym Roman McClay and self-published under Flat Black Ink Corp., McLeod’s old company, tells violent, misogynistic stories that one Amazon reviewer described as an “800-page alt-right rant.”

“This book is packed full of rants on diversity, women, and globalization. There are fantasies of killing people involved in the BLM movement, and bizarre threats to Ben Shapiro/Sam Harris/and others. While others may be guilty of ignoring the necessity of violence in some extreme situations, this book fetishizes violence as the great equalizer,” the review reads....

Note, it's an Amazon reviewer who called him alt-right, which means essentially nothing. But whew! At least he's white.

Prayers up for the victims and their families.

I wonder what motivated the shooter or made him snap?

Some of his victims had something to do with tattooing. Maybe he took one look at that mess on his torso and decided to exact revenge.

It could be. Even taking the accounts of his books with a grain of salt, i suppose if one lives in a fantasy world of exacting violent vengeance against those who do them wrong long enough, it might bleed over into their reality. I wonder if drugs or alcohol were involved?

HERO Lakewood Police Officer  Ashley Ferris was shot in the abdomen by the mass murderer in  Denver who already killed five people— shot back & killed him while she was wounded & on the ground.
He feared the emasculation of men. Glad Ferris justified his fears.

Story:

... Last year, McLeod went on a tirade about emasculated men.

“Our entire society is made up of s— little f— who insult badasses & get away with it because law enforcement & social norms protect the WEAK from the STRONG. I’m over it. The weak better buckle up… s— is about to get real,” he said, according to the outlet.  ...

Unless he bleached his hair before going on his shooting spree, that's some pretty bad eye-witnessing.

Mike Cernovich discusses his experience with McLeod:

Cernovich
@Cernovich
A guy who stalked me to the point I told him to never contact me:

- made actionable death threats (I’ve seen them, won’t dox victims)
- reported to law enforcement
- visited by FBI in 2020
- went on a revenge killing spree in 2021
Let’s see these 2020 police reports.

Why do so many mass shooters have previous contact with FBI?
The Pulse Nightclub shooter had been reported. No action taken.
It’s time to find out why this is a pattern.

For my own safety I am making this public.
I have a very strong idea what was going on.
Someone tries way too hard to get close to me, to point I tell him to never contact me, and then he goes on rampage.
You don’t need to be a genius to put 2 plus 2 together.

Whether this guy was an informant who went off the rails, or a stalker who was given a pass (he should have been in jail), I don’t know. But I haven’t slept at all.
Something is really “off,” and I believe this was an off the books op designed to target me.  ...

Yeah... No. I am acquainted with PLENTY of Conservative folks that wear gypsy leather (bikers) that are rightly covered in tatts. Ain't my particular thing (I ain't got any), but your judgement in this is flat out wrong.

Hi @Roamer.  No. No conservative, would have a bunch of tats, like his.  Military men, from long ago, would have one maybe.  They are pretending to be, conservatives. Bikers are not conservatives. Some, maybe very good people at heart, but NOT conservative.  Ta.

Satanic druggy for what I can discern. Was raided for pot operation and left all kinds of painted skulls around his property.

Absolutely flat out wrong. MOST bikers tend to be Conservative. At least out here, and 'out here' would be the midwest, west, and desert southwest. And they have a presence on most Conservative forums (to include this one).

And to extend that, I know plenty of good Christian folks that got all tatted up in their misspent youth... Even some with prison tatts (a fair portion of my friends are as such).

Often they are worn as battle scars by those who have made it through to being saved. Flat wrong minded to be critical of such as these.

In this instance, you prove your ignorance. Several of us here are Bikers. Those we ride with aren't the teevee fictional criminal bunch, but crews like Fire and Iron or the Vietnam Veterans MC.

Tattoos, while a personal choice, abound.

Don't confuse "white collar conservatives" with the ideas and principles, which are commonly held by ferociously independent blue collar conservatives as well.

As for me, no ink, but that is just because I haven't seen anything I want to wear that long, but I know a lot of staunch conservatives with multiple tattoos, They don't get them on their faces. Most of the recent vets (Gulf War on) I know have more than one. With IEDs it makes it easier to sort the bodies/parts.

Your willful ignorance of what constitutes a "conservative", let alone a Christian is noted.  I know many righteous folks who bear tats and I'll entrust my life and the lives of my loved ones to them before the likes of you.  God sees how you treat (and judge) others.

Disagree.  Most people start out as liberals, then with age, become conservatives. So young liberals got their tats, then became conservatives later in years, but still show their immaturity time. (Getting tats)  Even I was a liberal in my 20's!  I didn't know enough; now I do.  I am not against any bikers!  See, you said NO INK, for you. CONSERVATIVES, would not want to deface their bodies. Nor face.  Tats have become a fad in our society.  I just don't go, for most fads. No need for tats. Maybe, we have a different idea what 'conservative' means. 

I broke out of my mold, and did a glamour shot at age 45!  First time. Age 48, breast cancer, part of left breast removed.
It looks risqué, but you see more in a bathing suit.  Normally, I would NOT do something like that. They had to give me wine, to calm me down, from being so nervous !  So, now I have pictures of my former self, without scar on breast.

But you miss my point. While there are some things conservatives would never have tattooed on themselves, other lasting devotions often are. As you said, it is a fad in most circles.

But a Conservative is not determined by appearance, and many of the most heinous leftists look what is considered "respectable". Being Conservative is determined by the set of life principles you live by and believe, at least in a political and moral sense and has nothing to do with more superficial appearances.

What you seem to miss, is that riding motorcycles has at its root one seminal characteristic: a sense of freedom. Ask any biker and they will tell you.

So, do you or do you NOT believe in conversion?  Your judgemental approach (based on your comments) to appearances for appearance's sake says much.
