DC Sniper Malvo Talks to Schatner

Did you catch the A&E special last week called “Confessions of the DC Sniper with William Shatner: An Aftermath Special”? It was hosted by William Schatner.

Lee Boyd Malvo confessed to new details about his killing rampage with John Allen Muhammad. Muhammad was executed last year in Virginia. The duo were originally linked to 17 deaths in 10 states, but Malvo upped the number to 42 while talking to A&E.

While I wish they had a face-to-face interview instead of a recorded phone call so I could determine if Malvo was being honest, what stood out to me most was Malvo’s matter-of-fact tone when he talked about such horrific events. You can hear this in the video above… What do you hear when you listen to Lee Malvo?

Here is a man who is serious and intent in getting his message across, do you think? Either that, or he has a dislike for cameras pointed at him. This expression is similar to the expression made by Melky Cabrera on Wednesday (though it has less tension and isn’t quite as threatening). We see glaring in the eyes, and a pursed lips. You know the old saying, “If looks could kill…”

If you see someone make this expression to you in public, they are giving you a strong message to back off, and I would heed their facial warning, without question. This is not a friendly face.

Attorney General, Eric Vaillant, spoke today at a press conference in Douai, northern France. The French police discovered the corpses of eight new born children in a village in northern France and have detained the parents who are in their 40s police said.

What do you think Vaillant is expressing here? I will share my thoughts below in the coming days.

Dr. Maureen O’Sullivan’s Speech: Part Three

Dr. O’Sullivan talks about how wizards can’t get objectivity in their personal lives.

For me, there are times when I am unable to be objective because I am emotional and I have to work to overcome it, but my ability is by no means flat-lined in my personal life. I find I can get objectivity, if I continually look in the mirror and stay honest with myself, and I work to remove any emotional bias I may feel, if I am seeking the truth. Sometimes that is hard for me to do when it involves matters of the heart. I have to work extra hard at it, but it is something I am very conscious of. If someone is not conscious of these two elements, I could see how it could affect their personal life.

I think the wizards are no different than other people in this respect. Anyone who struggles to look in the mirror and who can’t delineate their emotions will face difficulties in their inner circle because they can’t see the truth. What do you think?
