Please NAME the Minneapolis shooter's demon

[bythoughts]

The Minneapolis shooter is part of a sick trend. People put down and bully and make laws to prosecute transgenders, and now we see an attack on a church. While it is easy to interpret both parts of that in a partisan manner, I think we need to look deeper for causes.

For discussion here, I've reproduced an image of part of the shooter's "manifesto" (mostly complaining about bedbugs in English using Cyrillic letters) that was run in Daily Mail. What I want to call your attention to is the drawing at the bottom - directly underneath the only genuine Russian phrase in the text "до свидания" -- which means, "until we meet again". Directly before ending his or her own life, the shooter took time to make a drawing ... and despite the overall despondent suicidal tone of the rest of the writing, to say someone will meet with us again.

I think that this symbol is recognizably derivable from Pepe the Frog, one of the most-known "memes" in the world, which has been co-opted by "alt-right" white racism (mostly because people insist on giving that movement any symbol it ever touched, including the Buddhist swastika and the "OK" hand symbol). But here, it's not about racism, but a trans shooter preparing to attack a church.

"Memes" are the modern term for an intangible thing that leaps from person to person, changing their behavior. The older term was more accurate though, reflecting that anything with space inside your noggin is able to have thoughts and take action on its own. They used to call these things demons, and still should.

Now in this case, this is not some creative Daimon or a theatrical demon or a speed demon, but the kind of demon that stands outside your church shooting your kids, after first getting the killer to draw a votive image and a promise it will happen again. An actual, real world demon.

Now the shooter's rendition of this thing differs from Pepe the Frog, which was just a drawing to start with. We see it has teeth now. It is regressing toward its archetype. And one thing we know about demons is they're not making any more of them. Based on this data, is it possible for someone of faith here to actually identify this demon, and suggest a plan of action against it? Both to prevent further shootings and persecutions of Christians and to end the un-Christian viciousness we've seen expressed toward trans people, and to reveal something about the forces that are arrayed against our country.

Just to be clear, Are you suggesting the shooter was demonically possessed or something?

 

[dmpi]

Oh... now this guy's really a victim. I don't think so... buddy.

In theological terms, isn't everyone who does evil a victim? Are we not all victims of a Satanic conspiracy that has broken Paradise and set the people of the world to make each other miserable? I'm not saying he shouldn't have resisted ... I'm just saying we should resist.

I think demons are influencing us all. Our nature should be to do what is right. But this particular one -- well, as I was reading and thinking about the kid's mother, I felt like I could feel the thing. This rageful master looming over us all, driving people to bully and to "fight back" - but always against the innocent. Always to make it stronger. The thing has this image right at the end of the shooter's manifesto. Anyone who believes demons exist at all should expect to find one right there, if anywhere.

Not necessarily...we can oppose the Devil when living by the teachings found in the Bible, the only sacred book that fully exposes Satan, the demons, and their crafty acts...

"Therefore, subject yourselves to God; but oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7

No such thing as demons. At least, there's no evidence of demons. Thats just more religious nonsense. Some people are just messed up. Its as simple as that.

Call it a "meme" and you'll believe in it like it was the coolest thing ever. The only difference is that believers in "memes" pretend that - even though they are encoded in living human brain tissue - that they are just passive objects to be moved around and decided on by humans entirely free from and separate from them. That's a step backwards from enlightenment, not forwards, I think.

 

[Deuce]

Demons aren't real, OP.

The shooter was clearly in need of major psychiatric intervention, and the result of him not getting it was tragic.

 

[bythoughts]

It's starting to look like the facts bear me out -- where there's smoke there's FIRE! I'm not calling for anyone to do something wrong - just for some worthy person to apply spiritual methods.

In this article, there's another image I missed before, which I've pasted below. You think there might be a case of possession here?

But that article is only getting started! They cite David Reidman, a professor who maintains a K-12 Shooting Database, saying that he thinks the kid's postings show influence from a '764 network' and the 'Order of the Nine Angles'. Hardcore Satanic school shooting fans - there's more in that article.

And THAT isn't even the thing that strikes me! The kid is writing in Cyrillic. This time BTW he's writing real Russian. (If it helps, Perplexity says that's:

Что я? → What am I? Когда это закончится? → When will this end? Помощь мне! → Help me! Я не хочу. → I don’t want to. помощь → Help! убей себя → Kill yourself.

Now the letters and phrases include about half a dozen clues this is Russian rather than Ukrainian. So I'm still a bit iffy on this part. But dang it ... the infamous '764 network' is a US thing that gets kids to send naked pictures so they can blackmail them. But the creeps in charge have tie-ins with the Nine Angles and with a "Columbine subculture" in Russia and Eastern Europe. Now if you take the kid Bradley Cadenhead and look him up on Wikipedia, you find tie-ins with "Maniac Murder Cult". That is a group of "neo-Nazi cult members" accused of numerous crimes in Russia in April 2021. Now remember -- that was before Russia started a war you may have heard of, trying to root out Nazis in Ukraine.

I'm reminded of how the exact same batch of chemical grenades started both World War I and (what led to) the Vietnam War. When you track down the cause of a war, you come as close as you can to seeing the demonic plan for the world. This thing may have just shot up a couple kids at a church, frustrated by the old Catholic tendency to "guard the door" ... but it has designs on starting a war that destroys the whole world.

But Jesus sent a whole herd of these spiders back down the waterspout, and if there were some good people on the case to ask...

That makes no sense.

That makes no sense.

It's hard to critique that argument. I'm saying that memory in a human is different from "memory" in a computer. Human memory is subject to destabilization, extinction, and reconsolidation, including modification. It is part of an active ongoing thought process. That leaves open the possibility that what we think of as "a memory" is doing thinking on its own, for its own purposes.

A memory is just a recollection, subject to various factors which may affect its accuracy or reliability. It doesn't "think" on it's own. Thought and recollection are functions of the brain itself.

Yes, it is. Particularly in the hippocampus.

And we invented a demon to blame, named him variously as Satan, BEazelbub, Dave etc.

This way we never have to look inside ourselves for the only true EVIL in the world...after all, humanity is the only species that commits murder.

Wasn't sure which Minneapolis shooter you were tslking about. There hsve been a number of them lately.

Human nature, I have little doubt we will destroy ourselves.

I mean look at Putin deliberately killing children everyday and this monster has the nuclear capability to destroy the world.

At 16 Alexander the "Great" wiped out an entire race of some 50,000 people. His soldiers injured themselves as they beheaded and skewered woman and children.

In their imagination.
