The man (click here) police say shot and killed six people in Kalamazoo, Michigan, last month told officers that he was being controlled by the Uber app on his phone when the shooting spree occurred, according to authorities....
..."Dalton said that he understands now how the other mass shootings take place," Moorian wrote. "Dalton explained how he has experienced a full body takeover, that is how he can understand the other mass shootings."...
He had a mental break and it resulted from his mobile phone. Mr. Dalton states the Uber Icon is demonic.
...The shooting spree rocked the city of 75,000, and while authorities said Dalton made "incriminating statements" after he was arrested, they said they struggled to find a motivation for what caused the violent eruption. Kalamazoo Public Safety Chief Jeff Hadley called the rampage "baffling."...
There are psychosis that occurs spontaneously. According to the the DSM, Fifth edition (click here), there are disorders that occur for less than six months. If less than six months in duration they are not considered permanent. It is why the law recognizes temporary insanity. The fact the shooter spoke to law enforcement while worried about appearing crazy shows a mindfulness of something wrong with his mind.
He is currently being evaluated for his ability to stand trial.
I have a lot of reservations about a society that has become addicted to "a screen and apps." There are instances whereby children exposed to electronic screens developed epilepsy as a small cohort in Japan. The epilepsy was not the focus of a study, it occurred randomly in the Japanese society. Screens are a problem when exposed to them on a regular and prolonged basis.
I obviously appreciate computers and screens, however, I don't use a mobile phone to run my life. GPS maybe, but, not my life.
Obviously a background check to prevent Mr. Dalton from purchasing a hand gun would not do any good. The ONLY way society has control over such events that result in dead Americans is to control THE GUNS. The NRA and other gun rights groups IGNORE the fact human behavior is not predictable.
