Any Way You Slice It - Before It's Too Late, #2

Eco-Terrorism?  Hardly.  With today's steady stream of mass murders, you'd expect at least one shooter to do us all a favor and target someone who actually deserves to die.  Any of the heartless monsters out there intent on killing us all.  Pick a few of them.  An ugly thought but pragmatic.  It's just how Cooper sees things.

And when your body count surpasses a hundred, it's no longer merely how you see things.  It's who you've become.  Indeed, Cooper's been at it for a while, having embraced this bloody mission on our behalf.  Never mind that no one asked him to.  No one had to.  It's simply a judiciously top-down approach to making a difference.

The FBI would prefer that he go away, and not just because he's making them look bad.  It's one thing for madmen to slaughter the innocent and powerless week after week.  It's another thing altogether for a perfectly sane citizen to execute the high and mighty with such good reason.

Cooper would prefer sitting on his back porch feeding the birds.  Still, somebody's got to save the planet, and no one else is stepping up.  Simple solution: Assassinate the worst climate offenders, hoping that will shake everyone else awake.  Unfortunately, most are already too accustomed to obscene levels of violence.  It leaves no option but to up the ante and violate the ultimate taboo.

Happily, his next targets have chosen themselves.  With all their cultural warfare blather, it's only logical to begin hacking at the cultural root of the problem.  Nice of them to volunteer.

Any way he slices it, it's time to unleash the worst violence his spirit can bear…for Humanity's sake.
