Controlled Rage

Attacker hacks man to death in the street with an axe
Telegraph 15/03/2005
An attacker wielding an axe chased a man into the street and hacked him to death yesterday as residents, including mothers on the school run, watched in -horror.

The smartly-dressed axeman rained blows on his screaming victim, thought to be in his 60s, as "if he was chopping wood".

The victim's body is removed from the crime scene

Builders working on a nearby home and householders ran into street, worried that the axeman, in his 30s, would try to run away before the police arrived.

But he put down the axe, knelt on the road and waited calmly until he was arrested.


[...]
Avelina Rodrigues, 48, a cleaner, said: "The axeman saw me but he just ignored me.

"He hacked his victim's head as if it was a block of wood for a fire.

"I begged him to stop and he just looked at me with no emotion. There was no anger in his face, he did not seem crazy."
These types of horrific attacks are being reported more and more often. What's unusual about this particular case is the eyewitness reports of the attacker's apparent calmness and lack of emotion throughout the attack, and willingness to surrender afterwards. Almost like a switch had been thrown beforehand and he'd gone into autopilot.

The official story is that our ever benevolent governments wish to prevent "we the people" from damaging our health, and that of others (if you believe the "second hand smoke" fable. Those of a more cynical disposition claim that the truth has more to do government aims of cutting back on public health expenditure for preventable diseases like lung cancer.

Yet this explanation is relevant only for those few countries where public health care is free and is also contingent on the, as yet, missing evidence that smoking really is the number one cause of cancer, rather than the many other pollutants that we all inhale every day.

Given what we know of the contempt in which The Powers That Be hold most of humanity, and the lack of convincing evidence that even moderate smoking really is a risk to public health, we are forced to look for another reason for the increasingly world-wide witch hunt on smoking and smokers.
