Was the shooter of Strasbourg in psychosis?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There are some questions about the shooter of Strasbourg, and the main question is, was the weapon, what this person used legal or illegal? If the weapon is illegal, that would tell something about the relationships of this person's private life. If the weapon was legal, the question is, "how the radicalized person could carry the legal weapon?". When we are looking at the news of this sad case, we must notice, that we must stay in facts, what are published. There was no information about the weapon, what he used in shootings, but during the final moments, before police shot him, there might be a pistol.

Here I'm talking about firearms and that person might have more than one weapon. But when we are looking about this case, there were mentions, that he had a criminal background for robbery, and sometimes that kind of persons get "new road" to their life in prison, where they begin to think, that being the radical "soldier" has more style than being ordinary criminal. The Islamists have their own style to make propaganda, and they might claim every shooter operate as the "soldier of isis". Many people think, that those pieces of information are so-called fake news, where the Islamists want to tell the world, that they have a powerful and loyal network, what allows them to strike anywhere in the world.

 When we are looking at the first name of the shooter, that is "Cherif", we can think, that maybe this person had a mental disorder, and he started to believe, that he has the call from heaven to work as "sheriff" in his community. Sometimes those persons, who get in the psychosis believe, that they have missions from "higher level", and they are patrolling in the area of the community. When the person is in psychosis, that means that the ability to understand reality is lost. And they can believe that they have got orders from some "holy men".

Sometimes the person, who is in psychotic condition believes that he or she has opposite gender, and in some cases, the parents have made the gender assignment to those persons when they are children. If the person is in psychotic condition, might that person believe almost everything, and those stories, what they tell in Mental hospitals are very weird. Sometimes in the home of those persons have been happened cases, what incite those patients to strength their believing, and if the atmosphere in the home is very radical, the ordinary criminal might start to think, that he or she operates for something higher purposes. And in this kind of situation every robbery and stealing, what this kind of psychotic person does happen for some "organization". This makes some of the psychotic persons  very dangerous.  Of course, this doesn't make the shootings any easier to stand, and we must show, that we do not tolerate violence.

When violence strikes to the face, everybody would go to shock.

Kimmo Huosionmaa

When a person would face the brutal violence in the middle of the normal day, would the situation different than in some kind of war zone. In the war zone, people are more prepared for the violence, than they are in the normal city. The violence, what starts without any warning would have a more shocking effect than the thing, what happens in the area, where everybody is expecting violence. In the military unit, that operates in a remote crisis area, every person is professional and prepared for giving first aid and operate in the situation, that they are facing the violence. There is no difference is the reason for violence the accident or is the violent action made in purpose for the physical medication.

 But in the mental area the violence, what is made in purpose causes more traumas than some accident. The mental symptoms might be more invalidating, than in the accident, because of the victim suspects, that those persons might make their action again. And this thing can cause, that the victim is sitting inside the house, and afraid to go out. When the violence is like a large-scale shooting, we must say, that those actions must be investigated carefully, because the political motive can hide the normal but notorious way to hide the normal crime. And also the shooting can serve also the people, who we don't even know, that the violence would help.

The political right-wing movements are a good reason to stay out from Europe, and when we are thinking about the dictators, who are willing to get money and military merchandise from Europe, we must say, that those persons would not want that somebody will flee and tell about the things, what are done in the prisons of those persons, who don't care anything about democracy. When we are thinking about political movements, for those dictators is very good to show skinheads and Nazis in the television, and tell that those people have superior in the European nations. But the medal has a different side.

When we are thinking about the cases like Kennedy's assassination in 1963 and attentate against the president of France Charles De Gaulle, there has been the theory, that those shootings were ordered by the victims themselves. The idea is that those shootings could cause the situation, that the presidents, who are in the first line politicians must not take apart in the election campaigns, because they were too shocking. The theory bases in the case of De Gaulle, the idea, that professional military men could not miss hitting De Gaulle in that range.

And in the case of Kennedy the thing, what makes those theories possible is, that the weapon was too easy to track. The Carcano was not very well known weapon in America, and the gun was ordered from Europe. Oswald could buy the Remington rifle from any store in Texas and that gun would have more usual caliber, what makes it harder to connect to Oswald. And Oswald was the perfect shooter for that target. He spends two years in the Soviet Union and then returns to home. He was claimed to be an unstable person, and that's why the very good choice if somebody wants that shooter was acting alone.

So if Oswald had Schizophrenia, would he be very easy to incite that action. This is the reason, why psychiatrical papers are confidential. He might of course seen Jaqueline as the prison, and in psychosis, that man believed, that the shooting of Kennedy made him a hero in the eyes of the Jaqueline or other nation. But the invitation to the assassination can be accidentally made by the marine trainers. The case of Kennedy is very interesting, what has caused many theories, and if somebody wanted to shock Kennedy, or make the thing, that this man would not need to make a campaign, would the shooter who was shot in the front of the president were a good argument, that this time the campaigns would be clean and the president was handled by using silk gloves after the bullet hits the car or his wife.

But Oswald chooses to shoot from the long distance.  This might be the reason for those shots in Dallas, and maybe they were made for supporting the election campaign of Kennedy. The mafia-connections and tyrannic behavior of Jack Kennedy the father of those brothers and hired family secrets of that family like the fate of Rosemary Kennedy, who was closed in the mental institute and lobotomized would be taken to the public knowledge, and somebody wanted to support that campaign by putting the gun in the hand of Oswald. But this is only one theory in the group of theories.

Asylum or the mental institute, or mental hospital, that's the question

In this text, I will think mental institutes from the point of view of criminology.  And here I must first say, that I drop away from the political prisoners and racial experiments. The thing, why asylums or mental institutes have been created, is that the persons, who are profiled as a maniac, would take to the place, where they would give provocation to talk about things, what they normally shame. This is one reason, why those places are so big taboo to mention. When we are thinking about the crimes, we must know, that even the worst actions, what man can get has an explanation. Sometimes people, who have made terrible crimes are playing mentally ill because that saved them from the death penalty.

One of those things, what bought the death penalty was murder, but if the person would be under control of spirits, what meant mental illness, that person could save the life, and send to the asylum for rest of life. But the thing, what is important to notice is, that we are talking about "asylums", we mean one type medical institutes, what mission is to investigate the reason, why people make terrible things. In modern days some worst and unexplained things, like the situation, that somebody gets angry, and then hurt other people without reason.  Sometimes that kind of behavior is the reason by the brain tumor, what gives pressure to the brain areas, what control feelings.

And that means that the person can become very violent. Another thing, what can make persons, who kill other people without reason, might be the violence, is the damage by the kick or hit, what strikes to the temporal lobe of the brains. This kind of thing can make the blood clot, what acts similar way as brain cancer, and destroys the cells, what is controlling our feelings. In the worst case scenario, the blood clot would destroy the brain areas, that way, that the connections to the mirror neurons would be destroyed.

The mirror neuron acts as the pairs. And if the pairs of the neuron would be destroyed, it would not get the message, that the job is done. And that means in the case of anger, that the cells, what is controlling hate, cannot turn to the normal mode, and that means, the anger will continue. Anger and hate are feelings, what mission is to protect us against animals. This makes those feelings dangerous because in that case, the person would start to act the way, that will cause the horrible situation.'
