Dr. Park Dietz, founder of THREAT ASSESSMENT GROUP and PARK DIETZ & ASSOCIATES, explains the characteristics shared by mass killers and why they act out pseudo-commando attacks ever since Charles Whitman in Texas in 1966, venting their rage and pain on others. The media have perpetuated this mass murder fad by, in effect, making celebrities of the killers. Dietz suggests a list of "Best Practices" for the news media which would end nearly 50 years of pseudo-commando rampages. https://www.patcordell.com/travel-selected-photos daily 0.75 2025-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171698027-0EZWQ1V3B70SZBBWW4I3/12-Phone+call.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171698027-0EZWQ1V3B70SZBBWW4I3/12-Phone+call.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171724716-1RAWUCHC3EPDYEQLM4RH/4-Basket+porter.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171705233-44RKHOMKP995HY386QL7/3-Black+Scooter+Toddler.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171743056-A619I3YATXXCUNGJXLIC/10-Bottle+vendor.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171727485-6HHXDMR9JX6KTLL3NIK4/15-Temple+Orange+Truck.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171759336-M6CIG04E6P2JQP7M7QHY/5-Dome.Rock.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749172328803-RK6NF0O1ZEKXKFGIVDCK/2-Friendly%2BTukTuk.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171814661-3W2B42DXNM4LNH68ZX7Y/9-Scooters+wave.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171799819-G99NBR5NLYN5RNHXXSI5/6-Feast.chef.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171822021-X6KLRRFAGU5QGNL911P3/17-Wagon+commute.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171839434-AHHGXSIZ80295NS1ULFI/13-Praying.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171833597-PIM4FBI1WZ1RW3V5W7RG/11-Car+Horns.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171927256-UAFTBFU02KF1H0PWJ18L/14-Thieves+Market2.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1749171932972-DXHQ2F1CIMD4JLXXRF2X/16-Worrying+Girl.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1756411679586-NB82I4T0G2KAZX7ESZGJ/image-asset.jpeg Travel Selected Photos - Kharkiv, Ukraine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1756411757467-ZHES9J6CHVTDZDB96GH9/14-Pulverized.Church.jpg Travel Selected Photos https://www.patcordell.com/home daily 1.0 2018-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1517183641858-HBTP2JHWTCMDYFLX94TA/Fire-bear.jpg Home https://www.patcordell.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2024-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1540313860271-DFYN52ECC6ECSHRR7SZW/IMG_1210.jpg About https://www.patcordell.com/a-land-of-thorns-and-stone daily 0.75 2018-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1527652196347-WKMSQ05BXC02C8I1DON7/Optimized-Susiya4ever.jpg report: A Land of Thorns and Stone On the far hilltop, an illegal Israeli settlement occupies the villagers’ privately owned land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58194468f7e0abdf049209ac/1527651196965-AK03DLF6Y6L9EYWI01RU/speech.horiz.jpg report: A Land of Thorns and Stone Mustafa Barghouti is a physician, activist, and prominent politician who serves as General Secretary of the Palestine National Initiative, is a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council and a member of the PLO Central Council.
