Is it ISIS related? A man jumped in front of an on-coming train after beheading a 66 year old woman and kicking her head down the street (witnesses say). Could this be ISIS related or just an isolated incident involving a psychotic a-hole? http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/29/us/new-york-murder-suicide/index.html
Mornin' @Gin0710 ! I saw this report the other day and I'm inclined to say absolutely not related to ISIS. At least on the level you're asking... I suppose this creep could have gotten the idea from them, but I can't see he'd be a member. Besides, his victim was his mother... which makes it even sicker if that's possible, but another reason why it's most likely a personal vendetta and not terrorist related.
It's just crazy how another be-heading has happened within the last couple months. Maybe he was copying ISIS, but why the hell would anyone want to do that to their own mother. I don't under stand it. People are going nuts.
It's just pure dark evil... what else could it be called? Copycat crimes often happen, but I have to say that I wasn't expecting it with something as sick and shocking as this. It's not the first copy I've heard of either... there have been 2 or 3 since the ISIS nightmare began. Maybe one here in U.S. and at least one in England if I'm not mistaken.
Thus far, the death of the Canadian guard has been labeled terrorist without attributing any actual faction other than a "radical Islam" thing. The guy was apparently "self" radicalized (whatever that really means) and decided to meet his 70 or so virgins. To the westerner, beheading and other monstrous ways of killing are indeed atrocious. To the middle easterner it is pretty bla. They do it and send us the films because they know that it will show us how they view our lives compared to theirs, how much power they wield over us, and also know that it demoralizes westerners.
This sounds like an insane person who perhaps had a long history of problems with his mother. He may have had beheading on his mind due to it being in the news, but had that not been on his mind he likely would have just chosen another means to kill her. It just sounds like total inanity to me, not like anything ISIS is doing where they announce they have done something for their god and all.
Yes, the Oedipus Complex and the whole Norman Bates scenario seems to be a common thread in crazy murders like this. Crazy.
