I've seen that neighborhood.

All these lots are one to four acres.

Anybody who goes through that neighborhood knows that Nancy has money, right?

And so they're enticed by the stories of the people in the inner circle.

And they're thinking about how can I utilize Nancy to get some financial gain?

And so when you go back to the spike, somebody's getting her out of bed

who maybe is tangentially related to her, but is not a primary person in her life.

Because, Nancy, he seems to me to be to be what we call narcissistically vulnerable, meaning he gets the thirty two thousand dollars scholarship.

But then he drops out of college and studies to become an electrician.

And what that tells me, if he were my patient, is that he cannot tolerate being with his peers.

He doesn't feel intact or good enough about himself.

He doesn't have a strong ego.

So the risk factor for shooters...

that they often feel insulted by society they feel that they are in a one-down position that everybody's bullying them everybody's acting like they're better than them and they hold on to every little grudge until they have some kind of a profound loss in their life and in this case it may have been dropping out of college and they become even angrier and when they decide to shoot they don't just walk through the

ground nancy they're always on the top of a building have you noticed that about school shooters i mean one we covered many years ago was a guy who stood at the top of a staircase after having locked all the doors so the students couldn't get out we call it like the fish in a barrel kind of uh mo of the shooting so that's the reversing of the feeling of being powerless

Now he's in a powerful position.

He's like the big man on campus, literally whizzing bullets over children and families' heads, talking about getting an erection, which is inscribed on the bullet and feeling powerful for the first time in his life.

So he's trying to reverse a feeling of being powerless, helpless, and at the bottom of society.

You know, Joe Scott Morgan and I were talking on the break, and that sound where he has the $32,000 scholarship, do you notice that his affect is very flat?

He doesn't seem excited.
