Frustrated at being denied a job with the cops, they suddenly started talking about killing cops - Maritimers, doesn’t that sound just like Gabriel Wortman ?

This story, based on thousands of “chatroom” conversations between members of American far right terrorist members, reveals how many were hopeful of advancing fast in various law enforcement agencies and the military.

But when that didn’t work (because basically they were seen by all sensible people as wacko and weird) they began talking up plans to start killing police and soldiers in the hope of starting a revolution in which their Boogalo forces would kill their way into being America’s top dogs.

Like Gabriel Wortman, these males were frustrated losers, feeling powerless in a culture that demanded a minimum of competency.

The one job they all felt they could handle real well was holding a gun and killing people with it. Black people for a start but the list went on and on, given their high interest in the Nazis.

(A group that never seemed to lack groups of human beings it wanted to murder.)

The professionals who study the processes of the human mind for a living can better explain the coping mechanisms that turn frustrated people into hate against the object they most wanted earlier.

Me, I will rely on the thousands of  years of wisdom wrapped in Aesop and his Fables.
