Who is the most similiar shooter to Adam Lanza?

Dylann Roof and David Katz share several characteristics with Adam. Thoughts?

Nobody, I think he stands out from other shooters. Different in many ways. (Not praising him)

That is exactly why I created this thread. I wanted to know if there were others like him. What about Cho?

Cho was possibly autistic so he has a few similar traits. Dylan Klebold was also shy and depressed but they aren't incredibly similar. Tim Kretschmer has a few similar traits so that's probably why Adam had a special interest in him. Maybe he related to him?

There's probably quite a few shooters who have similar beliefs to Adam Lanza, its just that these views aren't expressed anywhere near the same extent that they were when compared to Adam. For every Adam Lanza out there there's a million or more people who share his worldview, but end up killing themselves without ever having these thoughts and beliefs leave the confines of their minds.

If he had killed himself alone in his room, nobody would know why because nobody would care to dig deep enough.

Physically, I'd say the murderer from Idaho, Bryan Kohberger. Long, skinny face, long nose, dark hair, and small lips.

Come now, he wasn’t that dumb. He was just comparably extremely apathetic about his end goal.

Even Cruz isn’t that stupid. I mean… the random half-threats to classmates and open planning he did on his phone was pretty tinker head, but other than that he actually did calculated research on what he was going to do, and even the first things could be attributed a bit to apathy. Maybe he wasn’t the most… intellectual… shooter, but he wasn’t mentally handicapped in regards to IQ. He was also able to have a pretty excellent execution of his plan too despite not being as intelligent as many criminals. I like Marjory Stoneman Douglas. Only American high school shooting other than Columbine that’s any more than almost marginally interesting.

I meant to say re-tar-ded. Not “tinker head.” Don’t know if that’s a correction from the forum system or just some autocorrect on my device.

Probably Dylann Roof with his cleanliness thats about it though. Its hard to think of someone that could be similar to Adam. Randy had a bit of the same mindset thats all i can think of.

I always thought he was interesting. I remember following it when it happened and thinking he kind of looked like a mix between Adam and McVeigh. Plus, insane reaching here, just something I think is interesting, Adam's home was of course demolished after the tragedy, and recently the house where Kohberger killed his victims was demolished too. I have no idea how common it is to demolish houses where murders happen like that, it's probably a lot more common than I know of.

Its literally just a leather jacket though, a lot of people wear them

I agree with Dylann Roof to an extent, but Dylann has a much more rigid way of viewing the world. He's unable to comprehend that the h in 24h means hours because h doesn't mean hours. Adam was able to understand things well, but refused to accept them because he didn't agree with them.

There's also that both were (are in the case of Kohberger) Vegan.

Martin Bryant. Those guys were stupid but not Martin Bryant stupid. Borderline mental disability. Don't know how he was able to pull the shooting off. He apparently had the mind of an 11 year old (he was 25), yet did something that evil.

Agreed

Adam Lanza stole all these "unique" ideas from Inmendham and random blogs on antinatalism from 2010-2012

I don't know that Adam's ideas were all that unique [especially with what war criminal said], I believe he just had a unique stew of mental illness and social isolation to go along with his beliefs. Say what you will, but regardless of if you agree with it or not, he was obviously very dedicated to his anti-natalist beliefs considering what he ended up doing.

Artyom Kazantsev - similar characteristics as they grew up
Ruslan Akhtyamov - quite a similar life (their victim age gap was similar too)
There are others aswell but these 2 come to my mind when they mention Lanza.

Alla had to call Artem on a mobile phone when he was at home to invite him to have lunch together and he also threw tantrums to her complaining how he never wanted to be born, that really rings a bell.

Yep, this also crosses my mind when I link him to Adam.
