Devin Patrick Kelley Psychopath, NOT Successful

Devin Patrick Kelley Psychopath, NOT Successful

By ABC-AntiBullyingCrusador

I was hoping that Devin Patrick Kelley's mass murder at a Baptist church in Texas, wouldn't be as  gruesome as the media reported in descriptions of the atrocity that occurred last Sunday.  I don't even want to  repeat the details I read, thereby painting a picture in people's minds of what the horror was like as it played out. 

Remember, there is a small, but very dangerous segment of our society, who actually feel a type of satisfaction, even enjoyment over these heinous crimes that they themselves create.  I will repeat just one thing that Devin Patrick Kelley did to the small congregation of about 50, sitting in the pews that morning;

Not having  automatic, machine-gun style weapons like the famous "no motive", Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock, Devin Patrick Kelley squeezed off 400 ROUNDS, one at a time, and close-up, into the bodies of just the 26 dead and 20 injured, all of them sustaining multiple, if not dozens of gunshot wounds.

Devin Patrick Kelley was a bottom of the barrel psychopath who  undoubtedly, ENJOYED the pain and suffering he caused, made obvious by  the depravity of his crimes alone. There is a big difference however, between Kelley and the Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock.

If you've read my articles about Stephen Paddock, you'll notice I dropped the word "successful", when I describe Kelley as simply a "psychopath".  The difference is that Stephen Paddock was a psychopath who was also very intelligent.  Intelligent psychopaths are referred to as "successful psychopath", and  are able to conceal their true nature by mimicking normal caring emotions, amongst many other things that helped Paddock and others like him, blend in..

Where as Kelley, is a psychopath who simply isn't too smart, and/or has other coexisting mental, physical or social problems that make it obvious, that he posed a threat to society.  One article called it "red flags", or warnings signs that Kelley was dangerous.  Disastrously, this atrocity occurred NOT for lack of knowing.

This brings me to point out, that I, ABC, rarely mention "psychopath(s)" unless by comparison or just briefly as related to  the very intelligent, "successful psychopath", because psychopaths who are not smart, are OBVIOUS!  Here's a link to a well documented PDF,  titled 
Successful and Unsuccessful Psychopathy, A Neurobiological Model
 
When coming across an obvious psychopath in your day to day travels, do NOT engage the person in conversation, or step away using an excuse, when realizing you ALREADY engaged a psychopath.  Use one or two word pleasantries or responses etc.. Do not share personal details about yourself, family or schedule.  Seem uninterested, like most people really are, especially psychopaths! NEVER go into a room alone with a psychopath, make an excuse, you forgot something, anything, and walk away.  Bottom line, put distance between you and your suspected psychopath.

If anyone you come across, does or says anything that leaves you feeling concerned, even in retrospect, for the safety of yourself, family or others, notify the police if you think your concerns are URGENT.  When not, consider leaving a police report or notifying another authority etc. depending on the circumstances, such as if the concerning words or behavior were those of an employee within a school, or a workplace etc..

If you are a young person, or even an adult, who just feels uncertain or inexperienced about something someone did or said, leaving you feeling uncomfortable or threatened, talk to some one you trust. 

And, Don't Let The Bullies Get You Down!

Now, Devin Patrick Kelley, Motive-A Bully's Satisfaction?

First Rader, then Paddock,

Now, Devin Patrick Kelley, Motive - A Bully's Satisfaction? 

By ABC-AntiBullyingCrusador

There is just so much evil activity these days, what with all these shootings going on, it's hard to make sense of it all.  That is to most of us, being normally minded, caring people.  The psychopathically minded, are people born with a lack, or diminished ability, (within a spectrum of severity), to experience empathy or caring feelings for others.  These are the same caring feelings, that build strong caring families and relationships with others, and is the source of most people's enjoyment and satisfaction in life. 

Being very differently motivated, psychopathic minds think in ways that are unimaginable to others.  They actually feel a type of satisfaction, even enjoyment, over the pain, suffering or misfortune of others, that they often cause for the sole purpose of their own selfish satisfaction.

Even worse, some psychopaths are also very intelligent, and are referred to as "successful psychopaths".  They are "successful" in that their intelligence makes it possible for them to mimic normal caring emotions, while actually void of the sometimes troubling emotions that most of us express.  This leaves an appearance of mental stability, while actually capable of the most heinous crimes imaginable. For this reason, "successful psychopaths" are the most dangerous.

Good examples of these bottom of the barrel psychopathic minds, are Stephen Paddock, the famous "no motive" Las Vegas mass shooter, and the out-of-memory to most people, Dennis Rader.

Dennis Rader, was a serial killer who took people's lives, one or two at a time spanning between 1974 and 1991.  Rader enjoyed, even LOVED what would sicken most normally minded people, once bringing a corpse to his church, and taking a selfie with it, well before "selfies" were even a thing.  His wife and daughters had no clue, law enforcement arriving simultaneously at Rader's home to inform his wife, while taking Rader into custody a short distance away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Rader

Both Stephen Paddock and Dennis Rader are "successful psychopaths" who committed the most heinous crimes imaginable, while being so smart, they were undetectable as criminal psychopaths. I consider both of these psychopathic criminals, "pure evil", in that they seemed ONLY motivated by their own satisfaction, even enjoyment, derived from the experience of playing-out these gruesome scenes, that they themselves cause.   If more people remembered Dennis Rader, there wouldn't be so much confusion about Stephen Paddock's lack of motive.
 
Now, Devin Patrick Kelley, walks into a Baptist church in Texas and starts shooting into the congregation killing 26.  Once again, the confusion of investigators, victims, and casual bystanders alike, about what the motive might be, is palpable.

As more information becomes known about Kelley's history, it's like a barely perceivable collective sigh of relief, that maybe this time, there's a reason, even a motive.  Not just a bully's (psychopath) satisfaction, having no reason or sense at all-

Lies, A Contradiction Of The Truth

Lies, A Contradiction Of The Truth. -Examples, Teaching and Opinions-

By ABC-AntiBullyingCrusador

I came across an article yesterday, titled and linked below, that caught my attention.

Flake and Corker Feel Liberated to Speak Minds That Should Terrify Trump

As a backdrop, before this article was published, there had been several  reports that Senator Jeff Flake had been critical of  President Trump's "behavior" even using the word "dangerous" at one point, while at the same time, he announced his decision to not run for re-election. This article is related.

To keep things clear, quoted content from the linked, complete article content, will be in BLUE print.  ABC's commentary, teaching and opinions will be in the default BLACK print.
The article starts off with the statement;

THE BIG IDEA: Now Jeff Flake can listen to his conscience, not his consultants.
As if Flake couldn't listen to his own conscience BEFORE?

Looking at this statement at face value, most people didn't think twice, but the few who did noticed that the statement implies that Jeff Flake did NOT listen to his own conscience UNTIL just now, after FIRST deciding not to run for re-election.

Further more, according to various news reports, Flake also NOW feels free to say publicly, that President Trump's state of mind is "dangerous"!  This has been stated in many different ways by many different people, starting from well before the election. 

Most recently, talk intentionally meant to emphatically declare that President Trump is mentally unstable, has been  parroted by three top Republican lawmakers, Flake, Corker and John McCain.  The three, either by coincidence or by the hand of God, share  both the distinction and the experience, of now living within their closing days as lawmakers. The significance of this, has yet to unfold.

Having experienced and studied "psychopathic bullying" for over 15 years, I can tell you that the "mental health card" is a common tactic used uniquely by REAL psychopathic bullies. But like all psychopathic bullying tactics, being built on lies and deception, they are intended to change perceptions against their "targets". 

But like all lies, they are a contradiction of the truth.  When you look just a little bit deeper, the contradictions become obvious.

For example, It would be scary to believe that Flake, Corker and other top lawmakers, REALLY believe their own lies about the president's mental health.  The contradiction being, that if the president's mental health was really all that dangerous, nobody in their right mind with a  moral conscience, especially a top lawmaker, would have hesitated a moment to say it. Never mind first waiting to decide about running for re-election!

The second example starts with the quoted text.

"As one of the most authentically conservative members of Congress, Flake has a level of moral authority rivaled by few others."

This statement was supported by the next statement about Flake's political history, or did it?

"Flake was proving his conservative bona fides by leading the charge to kill earmarks, voting against Medicare Part D despite arm-twisting from George W. Bush himself and speaking out against deficit spending by his own party."

The words and terminology alone, throws some doubt about Flake's "level of moral authority", but before your mind can even begin to wonder about how "speaking out AGAINST his own party" is "proving his conservative bona fides"  When the next sentence;

"House GOP leaders even removed Flake from a choice slot on the House Judiciary Committee in 2007 as retaliation for his criticism." -

-Throws in, yet a bigger question,  How does being removed by your own party's leadership "from a choice slot", "as retaliation for criticism", add-up,  to some how mean that Flake "has a level of moral authority"? 

The article then repeats the point that the article failed to convince you of.

"This part of his background makes it hard for anyone to credibly argue that Flake speaking out against Trump is anything but principled." 

Does it REALLY?

I have noticed recently, that the news media has been repeating or reinforcing their points and conclusions again toward the end of the same article, more than they used to. Especially  articles like this one, where the major points are not clearly stated in the first place.  It's as  if stating it twice, makes you believe something the article had failed to convince you of.

-Just an observation though-

In conclusion, read important articles slowly or re-read articles that you found compelling enough to base your opinions on.  Read between the lines and watch for the inconsistencies and  contradictions that become obvious, when the assertions are either contradicted within an article content its self, or by logical consideration of the "usual course of events" one would normally expect.  

Here's to learning just a little bit more, about the importance of looking just a little bit deeper!

Moving On From Las Vegas Massacre Harder For Most

Moving On From Las Vegas Massacre Harder For Most  By ABC-AntiBullyingCrusasdor   

Moving on from Stephen Paddock's shooting massacre in Las Vegas is harder for most people than I thought it would be. Most people, still waiting for Paddock's "motive".

Now over two weeks, and three published articles about Stephen Paddock on this website later,  I continue to standby by my original assertions made in this, and the three previous articles on this subject, although varying in focus, wording, and depth of detail. My "assertions" are now in a bullet list below, OR you can read it like a paragraph, it's original format.

• Stephen Paddock was a "successful psychopath" and
• That alone, "successful psychopathy", was the sole cause (not motive) of this atrocity.
• I stated further that I believe it is a well known fact to experts in the field, that bottom of the barrel
• "Successful psychopaths" have no real, valid "motive(s)" at all for their psychopathic crime(s) against other people. Instead, They
• Experience a very differently minded type of "satisfaction" even enjoyment over
• The pain and suffering of other people, that
• They often plan and cause, for the
• Sole purpose of that experience alone. I stated further, that I was
• Repeating the (Bullet List) info, being
• Both 
• Hard to believe, and thereby, 
• Harder to remember. (Repeated, yet AGAIN)

Despite my confidence in my own understanding and ability to teach and reach others about these  matters, my hope of moving my readers forward into more personally useful information is some what stalled.  The Nation now standing paused and struggling to first understand Paddock's 'lack of motive' that "investigators" have as yet, failed to admit. 

"Investigators" as reported by the news media, continue to refer to Paddock's "motive" as something 'not yet found', when the truth is 'there is no motive' at all,  except for the psychopathic mind's own satisfaction.  

The good news is, that at least by some of the newly published news articles, it seems as though the media is just now starting to ease in to the possibilities that Stephen Paddock's reason (remember, he had no real or valid "motive") for the shooting, had more to do with his father's history of criminal psychopathy than not.

In that article titled (and linked), "Father's History Could Offer Insight Into Mind of Las Vegas Gunman", Stephen Paddock's father's criminal psychopathic history is described, along with commentary and quoted statements "typical of psychopaths".  This information is significant, in that "psychopathy" is a known genetic disorder likely passed down by young Paddock's father. The content is also useful in that the descriptions serve as good beginning examples of psychopathy, in which readers may then build on later, when learning more about recognizing psychopathy.

While yet another article titled (and linked), "Why The Unknown Motive In Las Vegas Is So Unsettling" explores why Paddock's 'lack of motive' is so unsettling (or is it REALLY a hint as to WHY, the Media IS HIDING (the no motive) TRUTH (for awhile)?  Either way, it is an interesting read which may play out in a significant way some how, only time will tell.

In the mean time, I intend on moving forward with the "more personally useful information"  that I mentioned, starting with my next article.  Readers may either "pause" with the rest of the Nation at this time, or may move on to the next article as soon as it's published and whenever you are ready.

I will step back with additional commentary, if and when the mass media ever publishes more articles that addresses Paddock's lack of motive any further in their coverage.

God Bless Target's of "workplace" and "adult vs adult bullying and mobbing" wherever it may be.
