This is the man responsible for the recent PA shooting. I'm wondering if you see any tell-tale signs of disturbance--that we could all watch out for (this might be to vague, but the video of him is fascinating).
I see a lot of things that would have concerned me. Sodini is a very tense person. You can see it in his face. He gives strong indications of being someone who is very controlling. He had to have things just so. He was likely very anal retentive.
He also likely had a temper and those who knew him would be well aware of it. I also see lots of indications of anger and frustration.
For me, when I look at Sodini, I see a man who did not have the ability to read other people. He was unable to read facial expressions, emotions, or connect with other people because of it. He even says as much and I believe that this is true.
The world was a difficult place for him to navigate because of his lack of social intelligence, and that (along with a potential undiagnosed mental illness?) is likely what caused him to go off the deep end. He couldn’t understand people and became more and more isolated, and lost touch with reality more and more, which only isolated him even further.
