montana Wrote:I grew up with the worst serial killer in Montana's history. I new his family well and spent many nights over at his house growing up as a kid. His eleven year murder spree was finally stopped when his last intended victim,"a gun smith" shot and killed him. No one new or had a clue that he was responsible for these horrible acts of violence. After the shock and realization that he was responsible, it boiled down to the fact that it took an individual, with the tool,"a firearm" and the means,"ability" to stop him. No law or authority was able to stop him. I had a good friend and his wife murdered in his remote rural home by a drifter in the late eighties. Terry Langford who was caught, pleaded guilty, showed no remorse before he was executed. I had a co-worker I new who seemed to be normal with a wonderful wife, kidnap a 16 year old girl one day and brutally rape her. Trying to understand psychopaths is a struggle with futility. The realization that there are very disturbed and dangerous people in this world is a fact that we all have to accept in life. But to pretend the police will always be there to protect us and firearms are some how responsible is the craziest thought of all.
Mr. Nance....I presume?
There are, on average, 2 serial killers at work in each state at any given time. There are 100,000 unaccounted for missing persons in the US, with more than 40,000 unidentified victims. That's more than 10 times the number killed on 9/11!
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
