George Sodini:

George Sodini has been identified as the shooter in the LA Fitness killings in Pittsburgh last night. George Sodini has also, postumously, revealed himself to be a very troubled man.

From what we know George Sodini was a member of the LA Fitness Center in Bridgeville, a suburb of Pittsburgh. Last night George Sodini went there with several guns and loosed off 52 or so shots. In the process George Sodini killed three women in the center and a fourth died on the way to hospital (other reports say two at the scene and one on the way to hospital). George Sodini then turned his gun (or one of them) on himself and committed suicide. Nine other women are reported to have been wounded, including George Sodini’s ex-girlfriend, and are still being treated or have been released.

Of course, it’s easy enough to say George Sodini was a troubled man: he’s just gone out and shot a number of people and then committed suicde. However, George Sodini left behind his website which details quite how troubled George Sodini was.

From the 5th November:

Planned to do this in the summer but figure to stick around to see the election outcome.

And from August the 3rd, the day before George Sodini did “it”.

I took off today, Monday, and tomorrow to practice my routine and make sure it is well polished. I need to work out every detail, there is only one shot. Also I need to be completely immersed into something before I can be successful. I haven’t had a drink since Friday at about 2:30. Total effort needed. Tomorrow is the big day.

Unfortunately I talked to my neighbor today, who is very positive and upbeat. I need to remain focused and absorbed COMPLETELY. Last time I tried this, in January, I chickened out. Lets see how this new approach works.

Maybe soon, I will see God and Jesus. At least that is what I was told. Eternal life does NOT depend on works. If it did, we will all be in hell. Christ paid for EVERY sin, so how can I or you be judged BY GOD for a sin when the penalty was ALREADY paid. People judge but that does not matter. I was reading the Bible and The Integrity of God beginning yesterday, because soon I will see them.

I will try not to add anymore entries because this computer clicking distracts me.

Also, any of the “Practice Papers” left on my coffee table I used or the notes in my gym bag can be published freely. I will not be embarased, because, well, I will be dead.

George Sodini had planned this for a year or so. What’s truly worrying is wondering how many others are out there thinking the same thoughts as George Sodini.
