They wouldn't look back at her history---wouldn't find the incidents that contributed to the shootings---would miss the earliest indications...
She'd been birthed to two immigrants---both from war-torn countries---each having their own version of trauma...
Mother had only transferred to her a massive sense of insecurity...
Father gave her the beginnings of her own trauma---not raping her; but, regularly, engaging in extremely inappropriate handling of her body... Some might have considered it a subtle influence; but, it began to manifest in eccentric behavior with boys---coyly interacting with them---drawing them to her; then, screaming and running away...
When she'd reached her late teens, her traumatizing activities advanced to having sex with the most dangerous men she could find; eventually, leading to her abduction and transport to another state, where she was abandoned...
In her twenties, she married a rather nice man and slowly began a campaign of belittling him in front of their friends... It was during this time that she bought the gun...
After the rather nice but horribly confused man left her, she took her gun and began a shooting spree---murdering 18 men before being killed in a lusty gun battle with the police...
