Dayton shooter's demonic notebook scrawls reveal he fantasized about massacres, 'hunting' for humans
2019-08-09
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]Connor Betts gunned down nine people and injured dozens more in Dayton, Ohio, on Sunday

  • Now DailyMail.com has obtained chilling notebook scrawls by the 24-year-old who had an appetite for murder, drugs and Satanism

  • The frightening pages were revealed by former friend Ian Himes who paints a confounding picture of Betts as a frequent methamphetamine smoker who played violent video games

  • Himes said: 'Sometimes he would go quiet and take my notebooks and start writing random stuff in them. I never paid much attention to what he'd written until now'

  • Betts' rambling contributions, written around 2017, include a Satanic pentagram with the words 'Hail Lucifer' and numerous references to death and murder

  • The warped loner declares himself a servant of 'evil incarnate' and rants about everything from schizophrenia to satanic rituals and massacres

  • The pages read in part: 'I am the servant of the serpent evil incarnate, flesh consumer, light destroyer, fueled by hate, rage my strength, distrust my shield'

  • In further jumbled snippets, Betts adds: 'Anti-social personality disorder. Don’t listen to romantic advice, sociopath. Seek and destroy. Still haven’t eaten enough so…very ADHD, paranoid, schizophrenic'

#4  Any way to determine whether he saw the trailer for that vile low-budget slasher flick ("The Hunt")?

Why do I get the feeling that this sounds like next year's pledge at the Democratic Presidential Convention.
