    For the first couple hours after it happened the chuds were of course recklessly speculating that it was a Black guy or Muslim because of the proximity to Detroit. But in reality, military veterans have a long record of violent attacks like this

      A lot of serial killers have military backgrounds as well. In a way, serial killers are just vets who can’t adjust to civilian life where they can’t commit war crimes anymore.

        There is a theory in the more sane areas of true crime that the spike in serial killers in the 70’s and 80’s is likely directly related to the increase in Korean and Vietnam veterans returning from service. Another common thing was a noted increase in arsons.
