Why do Mass Murders Kill Themselves?
AENN
The evidence is overwhelming that the mass murdering that has been utilized in our country since the early 1990’s has the appearance of a military style operation. Well perhaps it is a military style operation.
Soft Targets
The intent of attacks on soft targets is to instill fear as well as inflict casualties. Clark Kent Ervin notes that attacks on soft targets inflict psychological damage.
A “soft target” is a person, thing, or location that is easily accessible to the general public and relatively unprotected, making it vulnerable to military or terrorist attack. By contrast, a “hard target” is heavily defended or not accessible to the general public.
Definition
The terms “soft target” and “hard target” are flexible in nature and the distinction between the two is not always clear. However, typical “soft targets” are civilian sites where unarmed people congregate in large numbers; examples include national monuments, hospitals, schools, sporting arenas, hotels, cultural centers, movie theaters, cafés and restaurants, places of worship, nightclubs, shopping centers, transportation sites (such as railway stations, buses, rail systems, and ferries), and farmers’ cooperatives. Soft targets are contrasted with hard targets, which are well-protected. Examples of hard targets include airports, government buildings, military installations, diplomatic missions, and power stations. Hard targets have access controls that prevent public access.
History
Terrorist groups more often choose to strike soft targets. Of terrorist attacks worldwide from 1968 to 2005, 72% (8,111) struck soft targets and 27% (4,248) struck hard targets. The intent of attacks on soft targets is to instill fear as well as inflict casualties. Clark Kent Ervin notes that attacks on soft targets inflict psychological damage. In 2011, while preparations were being made for the 2012 Summer Olympics, the deputy commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police Service noted that if the primary targets were secure, terrorists might substitute targets that are nearby but not as well protected.
Military and paramilitary groups may adopt a strategy of attacking soft targets in order to avoid direct confrontation with a stronger opponent. For example, U.S. military general John Galvin noted in 1987 that Contra rebels switched to civilian targets rather than continuing the direct fighting against the Sandinista National Liberation Front.
Creating the Soft Targets
Starting in the 1990’s the move to make “Gun Fee” zones was in government buildings and facilities was in full swing. Federal and state laws bar most individuals from carrying firearms or other weapons in certain locations. For instance, federal laws prohibit the possession of firearms in federal facilities, other than federal court facilities, except for hunting or other lawful purposes (18 U.S.C. 930).
Gun Free Zones
Similarly, firearms are prohibited on property belonging to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (38 C.F.R. 1.218) or the U.S. Postal Service (39 C.F.R. 232.1). Two federal laws restrict guns in or around schools offering elementary or secondary education. The Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 prohibits most firearms within 1,000 feet of a school, but it does not apply to possession by individuals with state licenses (18 U.S.C. 922). In addition, the Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994 applies to schools receiving federal funds and requires the schools to expel for at least one year any student found in possession of a firearm on school property (20 U.S.C. 7961).
Programing the Mass Murder
Chip Tatum – Black Ops Interview with Ted Gunderson
Dois Gene “Chip” Tatum claims to have been an assassin for George H. W. Bush who quit in 1992 after Bush ordered him to “neutralize” Ross Perot (a word he specifically clarified did not necessarily mean “assassinate”, but included “intimidate” or “blackmail“). Tatum reportedly became active as a whistleblower in 1995 after being charged with treason.
Career
By his own account, Chip Tatum was a helicopter pilot for the United States Army from 1982 to 1986, during which time he flew missions in Central America and also from Ft Campbell, Kentucky. From 1986 to 1992 he was an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency, operating under a deep-cover assignment. Read more here
Whistleblowing
Chip Tatum claims to have been an assassin for George Bush who quit in 1992 after Bush ordered him to “neutralize” Ross Perot. He became active as a whistleblower in 1995 after being charged with treason, which the state blamed on a data error.

Nightshade
plant genus. Alternate titles: SolanumWritten and fact-checked by The Editors of Encyclopaedia BritannicaLast Updated: Article Historybuffalo burSee all mediaRelated Topics: tomatopotatoeggplantbuffalo burcurrant tomato.
nightshade, (genus Solanum), genus of about 2,300 species of flowering plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae). The term nightshade is often associated with poisonous species, though the genus also contains a number of economically important food crops, including tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), potato (S. tuberosum), and eggplant (S. melongena).
Nightshades are annuals or perennials and range in size from small herbs to small trees. The alternate leaves can be simple or pinnately compound and usually feature glandular or nonglandular trichomes (plant hairs). The leaves and stems are sometimes armed with prickles. The flowers have five petals that are often fused. The flowers usually are white, yellow, or purple and are borne in clusters. The fruit is a berry.Britannica QuizPlants: From Cute to Carnivorous
The species usually called nightshade in North America and the United Kingdom is S. dulcamara, also known as bittersweet and woody nightshade. Its foliage and egg-shaped red berries are poisonous, the active principle being solanine, which can cause convulsions and death if taken in large doses. The black nightshade (S. nigrum) is also generally considered poisonous, but its fully ripened fruit and foliage are cooked and eaten in some areas.
A number of plants outside the genus Solanum are also known as nightshades. The aptly named deadly nightshade, or belladonna (Atropa belladonna), is a tall bushy herb of the same family and the source of several alkaloid drugs. Enchanter’s nightshade is a name applied to plants of the genus Circaea (family Onagraceae). Malabar nightshade, also known as Malabar spinach, refers to twining herbaceous vines of the genus Basella (family Basellaceae).
The Effects of Gun-Free Zones
Gun-free zones are intended to reduce violent crime, suicides, unintentional firearm injuries and deaths, and mass shootings in specific locations. In theory, the gun-free zone reduces or eliminates the presence of guns in these areas, thereby eliminating the risk of unintentional firearm injuries due to recklessness, escalatory conflicts, or criminal activity. Gun-free zones establish the legal foundation for imposing screening measures, such as bag checks at stadiums or magnetometer screening at some schools or public buildings, that can be used to ensure that fewer or no guns are present in the location.
