I'm no expert in abnormal psychology or psychopathology or anything, but it appears that he wants to get caught and/or punished - kinda like when a little kid swears at his mom just to see if she'll spank him for it. Notice how he describes the videos as "comedy", but still makes numerous murderous terroristic threats in conjunction with this - some of which are thinly veiled and some of which are very obvious. Maybe he feels that the "persecution" which his mental illness makes him believe he's suffered at the hands of the US Government should finally come to a head, and he's trying to make the government "make their move" against him just so he can finally have it over with. Or maybe he's planning an extreme version of "
suicide by cop" by making the police arrive at his house and arrest him. I don't know. Like I said; I'm no expert.
I somewhat doubt he's planning anything, but who knows? Judging from his other posts online, he seems to be very much in the "all talk and no action" category. You know, the kind of idiot who makes videos where he screams or stares threateningly at the camera, but who is reluctant to actually do anything besides this.
But then again - I've been wrong before! Maybe he really
*IS* planning to kill innocents or blow something up! If so, I personally feel we should do the right thing (given the circumstances) and report him to someone. I thouroghly hate snitches and ratting on people, but I'm not at all keen to see innocent people die, either.
*IF* he is somehow planning to perpetrate some form of terrorist activity, it might be for the better if he was intercepted before he had a chance to do so.
I have no idea how to report someone to the FBI, but a search via Google turned up
this page. Think it might be the one to use? I don't live in the US and, like I said, don't know if he should really be reported or not. But if you think it might be prudent to do so at this point, then by all means go for it. It's your call.
