The answer to why Kyle Huff killed (as explained by James Fox).

because he was loony tunes? sheesh, why does there have to be a reason for someone to go wacko? the beauty of firearms is you can go nuts, walk out to your truck, and use weapons decide to murder large quantities of human beings without spending a lot of time thinking about it.

This, by the way, is why the death penalty doesn't work - when you're in that mindset, the death penalty is not something you think about.

Based on my Army experience and training, as well as working with lots of cops and MPs.

Because he was pissed off and thought that ravers were evil. We know, James.

Eli, we're looking for help in constructing a deviant identity for our neighborhood criminal. Someone "not like us", a "loner", worked as a "pizza delivery man". We must be assured of difference.


In constructing criminal identity important social needs are met.

Charles Mudede might write a special "Police Beat" about it...as the hot pizza pie steamed in the back seat, Kyle dreamed of...

Because he was a nut with easy access to firearms? Sherlock Holmes is not required here.

was huff a juggalo by chance?

Maybe he got turned down by a raver girl he tried to impress by talking about his rifle - I mean, no sane girl's gonna want to go out with such a guy, naturally.

Maybe he imagined ravers were getting in the way of his target practice ...

In the end, all that matters is that he had ready access to excessively high powered assault (aka designed to kill large quantities of human beings rapidly) weapons and felt like he should kill people.

He could have just flipped out cause the Mayor was going to close down his favorite restaurant by forcing them to pretend they were a bar since they had a juke box (for atmosphere) and a bar in the waiting area.

Let's not obsess on the guy who goes nutso so much - let's instead look at why he was able to do such a thing.

I'm really of two minds about this... either we can repeal the 2nd Amendment (which I believe should happen, to relieve the burden of nutcases that believe there is a "right" in owning anything below the caliber of a nuclear missle) or simply issue a handgun to every single person at birth, along with their social security number. If there's really a right to bear arms, lets make sure its enforced for everyone.

Come on Charles, this one is writing itself...The pizza steam floating into the air like thoughts, dreams of Montana skies...yet the beat of rave music...

The thing with that logic, Will, is that when you take away some of a crazed psychotic's tools, he simply goes and finds new tools, and does what he wants to do anyway. It's a band aid on a staph infection.

Also, if he bought the guns in another state, what can you really do? But we've had this conversation before.

"when you take away some of a crazed psychotic's tools, he simply goes and finds new tools, and does what he wants to do anyway"

TBH a knife weilding Kyle Huff injuring rather than killing a few peopel is something I can totally live with.

How about a homemade bomb toting Kyle Huff, walking into a giant rave and hitting the homemade detonator?

Are we coming up on some kind of an anniversary of this tragedy or something? The reason I ask is a) that would help to explain an otherwise pointless rehashing of emotions and opinions and b) it would explain what happened to me and my wife this morning. We live on The Hill (that's right, "The Hill". Suck it Belltown) near the City Market. When we left or apartment building this morning to catch the 43 and head to work we were greeted by nothing less than the word "NOW" written in big block letters with sidewalk chalk right in front of our building. It stopped me in my tracks. My hair stood up on end, my heart raced, I started looking around for someone with a gun. In short, it freaked me the fu** out. I assume that this was some sicko's idea of a joke, some type of homage to that haunting psycho Huff. All I know is that it scared me, and that fact pisses me off.
