Is this the end of literature?

The Tucson Arizona shooter

Seems that the guy is out of his mind, but he still knows what he is doing. Even though the cops appear to have been giving him a workout, if his broses did not happen during the scuffle at the shooting site, he seems to be in control.

He is clever, he knows that most likely he will not get less than the death penalty. He planed it, as the note stated. So, now though painfully as it may be, he is having fun with the cops, by not saying a word. The worse they can do him is killing him. Perhaps he is looking forward to being killed by the cops to avoid the sentence. Maybe in his mind he wants to be both the hero-killer and the martyr at the cops’ hands.

The logic part is that everybody knows that he is the killer, any other information would probably hurt people he knows. Let’s see how much pain he can endure before he opens-up. Perhaps they will give him a clandestine assignment of counter intelligence. He appears to be secret proof; and probably ultra-nationalist.

Why did the C College not try to help this guy? Appear that another student pretty much analyzed him well. Didn’t the other college shooter on the east coast also have connections with poetry or literature. The art of poetry and literature can be deep into macabre, and yet it is presented as normal art work such as the poem “Thanathopsis” by William Cullen Bryant, and Poe’s Cask of Amontillado , and Falkner’s “A Rose for Emily” among others.
