Postscript to this tragic tale: the accused wound up convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison, but was paroled in 2019.

He apparently had drawn attention before the attempted murder due to an assignment he turned in for typing class.

Catchy headline in the CBS News story, but kinda judgemental.

I have to ask how this zombie came to your attention? It has been 23 years; surely you didn’t just stumble across this article while us0ing a microfiche at the library. You are not the OP. So what prompted you to add the postscript?

Yeah. This is exactly the sort of person who should never be allowed out of prison. Not for moral reasons, but because they are just too dangerous.

It was one of the “related” threads listed after a current thread. Given the arresting title it seemed worthy of opening, and then providing a resolution to it.

There are a shitload of functional sociopaths (clinical name “Antisocial Personality Disorder”) in the world (Trump, anybody?), but this guy is at the far end of the spectrum.

Oops, didn’t read far enough to see that this is a zombie.

It took me until someone said Charles Manson hasn’t breathed fresh air in a while. Yeah, he hasn’t _breathed_ in quite a while!

Dear, sweet, silly **Zebra**!  
Our opinion of you hasn’t change in the least.  
I regret to say.
