An Ivy League grad. An aspiring engineer who scored 1530 out of 1600 on
his SAT. A 4.0 high-school student with a prestigious college
scholarship. And now, a Caltech grad.America’s growing rogue’s gallery of high-profile alleged violent attackers is
notable for a glaring reason: In a shift from recent decades, they are
young men who have excelled in academics, at times at the highest
levels. From Luigi Mangione, the accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer, to Cole Allen, the 31-year-old accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump at a media gala Saturday, they are confounding the typical profiles of assailants.“We’re seeing a new breed of individual now who could have gone on to become
president of a university or run a business, and yet they felt like this
was their calling, ” said Mary Ellen O’Toole, a retired FBI profiler
who heads George Mason University’s Forensic Science Program. “We are
seeing an evolution.”Mangione has pleaded not guilty; At Monday’s hearing, Allen’s federal public defender stressed that he is presumed innocent.The mass shooters who have terrorized America over the past three decades
have typically been suicidal young men who struggled to succeed in
academics, work or love. They were often motivated by a desire for
infamy. Some in the current crop of alleged political attackers are
motivated by something else, said Russell Palarea, president of the
threat-assessment firm Operational Psychology Services. “This is more about some ideological principle that they decide to use
violence to force a movement or to get the public talking,” said
Palarea. “Grievances that are more complex or more ideological or
philosophical are ones where we may see more high- functioning,
intellectual individuals committing attacks.” Allen, charged Monday with trying to assassinate Trump, graduated from the
California Institute of Technology, one of America’s most rigorous
schools, and went on to complete a master’s in computer science. Shortly
before he allegedly opened fire outside the White House Correspondents’
Dinner, he emailed a document to family members that read like a term
paper, including a “rebuttals to objections” section.He seemed to acknowledge he was cutting short a life of potential. “I want
to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never
will,” he wrote. Allen’s federal public defender emphasized he had no prior arrests or
convictions on his record. Trump called the shooter a “lone wolf’ and a
“whack job” at a press conference.On average, criminals have lower IQs than Americans as a whole, surveys of
prison and jail populations show, said J. Reid Meloy, a forensic
psychologist. “Most individuals who are violent, they’re violent for
emotional reasons,” he said. “They’re angry at somebody, or they’re very
scared, and it’s very impulsive.” There were notorious exceptions in the past, like Ted Kaczynski,
a math professor who graduated from Harvard and became known as the
Unabomber for mailing explosives that killed three and wounded more than
20 between 1978 and 1995. Mangione appeared to be fascinated by Kaczynski’s writings on the dangers of
technological advancement. Now, the 27-year-old who attended the
University of Pennsylvania and completed his bachelor’s and master’s
degrees in computer science in four years, with honors, has become a
dark icon for a younger generation.



A college student on a crusade against artificial intelligence who
allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the home of OpenAI’s chief
executive earlier this month talked about “Luigi’ing some tech CEOs” before
the attack. A 29-year-old Southern California man who authorities said
complained about wages and burned down a toilet-paper warehouse also
cited Mangione. Other alleged assailants who were at the top of their high-school classes include Tyler Robinson, charged with assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and Thomas Crooks, who was killed by a sniper after allegedly attempting to assassinate Trump. Robinson pleaded not guilty.Theories for the trend include a rise in left-wing extremist attacks, more antigovernment and anticorporate sentiment among young people, and an increase in mental-illness diagnoses. Forensic psychologists say intelligence alone doesn’t make young men immune from
being heavily influenced by online echo chambers. Palarea said that
some online groups have developed into what he calls the Luigisphere,
where “all of these folks talk together online, and it only reinforces
their grievances, and some of them are the fringe of the fringe that
will go on to commit attacks.”On social media, Allen reportedly became increasingly angry with Trump, retweeting posts that compared the president to Hitler. Relatives and friends have been shocked at the allegations that these young men
decided to throw away their promising lives. But O’Toole, the retired
FBI profiler, said attackers don’t think of it that way.“His perspective isn’t that he’s throwing his life away, but he’s doing
something that only he can do—that he is very special and that he has to
take this on after thinking about it for a long time,” she said. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/the-emergence-of-the-high-iq-political-attacker-7cf73d8f?mod=hp_lead_pos8

u expect me to read all that?

bottoms up

Sounds like you won't be doing any political attacking any time soon

fuck u bitch. i could out perform u cardio and str wise. sad that a drunk canuck can outperform a so called American "soldier". u racist mfer

Take that gay shit to reddit

i aint reading that shit ******

Ok wincel

Check your user CP for some alternative reading material

lmao, you didnt even say anything in the neg comment little boy. We need to send you into the red where you belong.

I'm not convinced the recent guy is high IQ. More likely he was a DEI admit to Caltech, and had middling scores. However, being around the Caltech environment allowed him to kinda larp as a "smart person" for a while but he went to a trash school for Masters and very little success since then.

DEI is a death sentence at a place like MIT and Caltech because there's such a massive disparity between the DEI admits and the regular students that there's just no way for them to succeed.

Lol, you're just incapable of reading :)

I'm anti-intellectual, if you know shit then fuck you

Not reading all of that but I think I get what it is saying.

A lot of people get good grades, even test well, but for some reason, fall on their face in the real world, and they are usually bitter AF and angry towards society and the system. I've met a lot of people like this andit doesn't take too long to figure out what's missing. As for Allen, let me remind you that AOC also has an engineering degree. He does check some boxes, so he probably got in and passed through because of DEI.If he was so smart, why did he become a school teacher and not what he's capable of? Teaching school is usually a fall back career.

He's smart enough and motivated enough to do something and he did, but I don't think his attack was a very high IQ plan, he wasn't even on the right floor. Nobody in that room was in any real danger. At some point he said "yep that's the plan I'm going to run with" and then tried it.

Yet "dumb as a stump"...

I'm perfectly capable of reading but that... that is way too fucking long

Cliffs?

Mirin attention span because I took one look at that essay and decided "nope"

high iq? he's a teacher and couldn't figure out how to operate a gun. literal retard
