The man who killed 18 people in Maine late last year had
significant brain damage that likely played a role in his
shooting rampage, according to experts who have analyzed
his brain post-mortem.
The man, who The Daily Wire is not naming due to company
policy about not giving notoriety to mass killers, had
brain damage that is consistent with what experts see
in military veterans who have had prolonged exposure
to explosive blasts.
The man was a U.S. Army reservist and a longtime instructor
at an Army hand grenade training range where he was exposed
to more than 10,000 grenade blasts, according to a report
from The New York Times.
. . .
Dunno if it's an "excuse" - but it does show he'd
become a jelly-brain. Umpteen years training newbies
how to use grenades - bang, bang, bang - worse than
playing football, maybe as bad as being a boxer.
