The rhetoric about the actually nonexistent genocide of “Palestinians” is so overheated that it is driving the psychically marginal to violence.
“Mentally ill Calif. school shooter fired at kids as ‘countermeasure’ for US involvement in ‘genocide of Palestinians’: note,” by Alex Oliveira, New York Post, December 5, 2024:
The mentally ill gunman who shot and wounded two kindergarteners at a small California school Wednesday wrote that he was deploying a “countermeasure involving child executions” in response to “America’s involvement with genocide and oppression of Palestinians,” in a twisted note he left behind.
The shooter who turned the gun on himself after opening fire in the playground of the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists was identified Thursday as Glenn Litton, a 56-year-old homeless man who was sprung from jail just two days before the shooting, according to police.
Litton, who was pronounced dead at the Oroville school, had a long history of mental health issues, alarming criminal behavior, and past stints in prison, Butte County officials said at a press conference Thursday.
Glenn Litton, 56, was identified as the shooter who opened fire at a playground at the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists, shooting two kindergarteners before turning the gun on himself.
Cops believe his deranged writings — in which he called himself a lieutenant of “the international alliance” — stemmed from his compromised mental state.
“Countermeasure involving child executions has now been imposed at the Seventh Day Adventist school in CA, U.S. by the international alliance,” he wrote in the disturbing note recovered by investigators.
“I, Lieutenant Glenn Litton of the alliance carried out countermeasure in necessitated response to America’s involvement with genocide and oppression of Palestinians along with attacks towards Yemen.”
Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea characterized those writings as delusions coming from his mental illness, saying he “pulled information from various sources, and it all came together in his mind to create a reality that is false.”
Litton – who attended a separate Seventh Day Adventist school when he was young – critically wounded two boys, 5 and 6, who attended the school of just 35 students.
Days before the attack, the shooter had scheduled a meeting with the Feather River School’s principal and arrived for the meeting Wednesday using a false name under the pretense of enrolling his grandson in the school.
But he had no grandson, police noted, and shortly after the meeting he stormed into the school’s playground and opened fire on students as they returned to class….
Bexarkat says
Evil is as evil does. Why are evil acts perpetrated by evil people constantly blamed on “mental illness?”
MD Anthony says
Secular Psychiatry decided Sociopath and Psychopathic individuals were not evil but “deranged” and were later subdivided into being of “borderline personality disorder.” All Mental Illnesses?
Historically such pathologies were originally called “Evil” and the practitioners were called “Demon Possessed” and dealt with to protect society from repeat crimes.

I know 2 wrongs don’t make a right. But this asshat should receive an instant death penalty. No need for a trial.
Pray Hard says
He did. Read the article.

Self-inflicted.
Big Dude says
In new york city he would be released after being warned bad boy
In London the police would protect him
In Paris he would be celebrated as a resistance fighter
somehistory says
He was a terrorist. He targeted little children in order to force government officials to change policy.
He’s dead and that’s the good part. The kids were injured, but not killed, which is also a good part….that they survived the terror attack. Hopefully, they can fully recover.

somehistory says,
“Hopefully, they can fully recover.”
Perhaps physically, but the psychological scars will persist.
somehistory says
Yes, James, we never fully recover in our minds and emotions from such horrific things.
I had that in mind when I wrote my comment, but am not sure at this point that they will keep living. If they survive, they can be helped to learn to cope with the scars.

By the way, Dr. Lincoln, did you hear or read what two of the idiot women (one of which doesn’t know if she’s a woman as she can’t define what a woman is), on the Supreme Court had to say to the AG from TN about the law in his state regarding operating on and giving chemicals to little kids?
the sotomayor…as supposed she is, in her definition a “wise latino woman….said that some people have adverse reactions to aspirin, in comparison to kids having been mutilated and their lives ruined by the so-called trans stuff.
and the brown-jackson likened the law to the ones on interracial marriages in VA back years ago.
Some couple outside the Court told a reporter that their daughter told them as soon as she learned to talk about her ‘gender.’
The AG told Glenn Beck that last week his 3yr-old told him she is a pirate.
One of my granddaughters told me that she is a t rex. Also, since learning to play chess, she calls herself a young queen.
I hope TN wins.
James Lincoln says
Yes, somehistory.
Here is my repost from a previous article:
I had heard the remarks by Sotomayor and Brown – and I am appalled.
Certainly not the sharpest blades in the box.
My take:
Minors – presenting with their parents – expressing concern regarding “gender dysphoria” should be treated with dignity and respect. They should understand that they are loved – and that they may change their mind in the near future. The last thing that a physician should do is to provide a permanent solution for a (likely) temporary problem.
A responsible physician should stress that the effects of puberty blockers / surgery are irreversible and should not be offered to minors. If these minors have the same feelings regarding gender dysphoria when they reach the age of majority, they can seek treatment from a different physician.
Ironically, moving forward, the courts may actually help to stop this madness. Liability insurance is getting increasingly hard / expensive for “gender affirming” physicians to get and some patients “treated” as minors have filed lawsuits against these physicians when they reach majority and come to realize what was done to their bodies.

Yes–kids, who often do not even know what they want to be when they grow up, certainly cannot make such decisions. If they want a “sex change” aas adults, fine–but not as children.
Spiro says
People like this need to be put away for the public good
He even looks evil
gravenimage says
Spiro, he took himself out. Only good thing he did–although even this probbly traumatized the poor children.
terry says
Captagon, and active recruitment? Whence cometh a homeless man to get the weapons and ammunition? Links, dots, connections?
gravenimage says
Good question. Homeless people don’t always have enough money to hit the takeout window at McDonalds, let alone purchase firearms…
Andrew Blackadder says
Out of Jail and two days later he shot children in a school.
I guess he has some connections to get such a Gun in short notice.
Who sold him the Gun and where did he get the money to pay for the Gun.
Where was he sleeping once he got out of Jail.
At least the County doesn’t have to pay for his lodging and food for the next decade or so.

California: Man shoots two children as ‘countermeasure’ to US ‘involvement with genocide of Palestinians’
…………………………………………..
*Monster*–I hope these poor kids survive.
That there are of course no child executions in Gaza makes this all the more perverse.
