And Arnett and are you -- well but it just.
That sounds insane to -- we're talking until -- volatile -- won't -- it won't be the other possibility I don't know yet that's let me hello insane do you think -- There's votes -- -- It's good discovered as a -- -- force you think it is.
All you've done evil -- a force on the planet.
Unrelated.
Are gone and took control of.
No no I don't them but I do believe -- permits it.
And when when word listen to all the experts -- warning side.
A minority is sort of explainable to what to Wear and won't.
I believe that there is a fallen Angel.
This goes back to original sin and goes back to the fall of of Satan from each choosing to do his own well rather rather than God's will.
And right now we experiencing one time we experience evil in this world one time I was consulting and a film.
It's something -- exorcism him and I I asked all these actors how many do you believe in god.
One person -- and I say how many do you believe in the double evil.
Every single one raise their hand I believe we recognize that.
The -- can go dark and it's not just arts deciding that we wanted to go dark but that there influences.
Not all these experts seaside trying to tell us why it happened was it guns.
Wasn't the broken family wasn't.
Autism or Asperger's disease or something else.
All of those things were probably factors.
I believe there's another factor.
There was free will but there was also.
The power of evil.
Not making him do -- do it.
But in that may -- in the recess of his own room with a video games all the rest he empty citing lady with the messed up my maybe that's mental illness yes.
But deciding in my going to go to the dark side are not.
In little tiny steps just -- all of us can do.
Well that's source obvious solution -- off speculation.
And -- my next question.
They act itself real obviously.
-- -- -- But do you think his -- but no way to know and a sense but the possibility exists.
For talking about a metal compression.
That his act itself was not evil army in Italy line -- -- and brother and an -- -- -- Conjure up -- thought thinking it was evil -- justice and in this insane.
And on every -- -- ability to determine the difference between.
-- right -- wrong -- used to sensitized.
To violence sentiment of news suffering a million.
That's for doctors and psychotic out psychiatrists to tell us exactly but yes you can get to that point of of absolute separation from reality does that mean he has no first responsibility in -- content in terms the law known.
Secondly there might have been a lot of choices.
-- -- him this is speculation of course.
But I see it my my own life -- he and others that when we decide to do something that's wrong that we know that's wrong.
It's easier to do the wrong thing the next time.
Does that make sense full of Alba and all -- another aspect I think it makes a lot of sense -- you just don't -- -- attack.
And on average -- -- Not not the other statistic is tough but when we make bad choices it's easier to make a bad choice -- next time we can go down a path of evil.
The three forces or conduct more.
And this one as it is -- -- corporation.
Of his assault weapons issues.
Don't just know decent sane person on the planet -- people who now or don't like to thank.
Lot to be considered on important work and -- -- -- ban on assault weapons of -- kinds of weapons and far more stricter.
Gun control losses on appropriate.
It is also -- -- of credit in our society.
And -- and -- well to.
Which I'm not suggest you re regulate not -- last person.
The last person who would be -- censorship about the proliferation of violence and pornography.
And the expectations.
That's all the -- troops society you best placed on them people dialing.
Well.
Assessing the -- -- to their lives -- -- The amount everything and on yet another -- -- -- one step closer and then there's a mental health component.
That's all of those like it's all those things I think what you're talking about John Paul the second and -- -- -- -- Wonderful memory in my case at least.
So it's called this -- culture of death.
A culture of death in society in which.
We prefer the darkness that we prefer instead of life giving things we prefer death giving things and.
We all had a tendency.
-- to meet.
And then and FOX & Friends now known.
That's it this way known more for morning fun and the quick -- and theological depth I think he would -- himself as -- great question.
He said.
That there was -- -- indicates.
I think he understood that.
I don't know -- but he said where was -- Why were we talking about god for this guy who killed these people before she did it.
In other words.
You know the -- I took it was.
Why weren't we dare to bring life.
I -- we as is people poured dedicated to -- religion into spirituality.
But not -- but also his parents so many other people where was and I think that's the answer Richard you're getting at here.
It's a cultural thing that we have -- the ability -- somebody's very sick in the head.
To intervene.
I'm thinking to myself to my own neighborhood in my own church are -- people who need me now.
Who are at the point of -- I think I have -- responsibility as -- relatives and friends to reach out and make sure that people are getting guide people are getting common sense.
People are getting intervention before this happens.
I don't know -- American talk about social -- -- a good time and time.
Solution to all the problems seem and -- -- below one point one right and he always deduce that this case is -- this guy.
To have intervened and his life -- data tomorrow no purpose may be felt no mission eighty did not feel -- -- if somebody intervened there.
Made it impossible.
There's got to be able to Qatar financial counsel and start that's a good start and -- Not that's the only metric but supposed to -- -- it is -- -- closest election -- -- -- -- -- another startling.
