His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- While he does have a backstory in which his father and his mother abused him and neglected him because of this, this isn't as major at first glance due to the reasoning for him hating women coming out of egotism that his boss was a female, females were more successful than him, and because they innocently suggested he become a nurse
- Because of the thing mentioned above, he stole the identity of an elderly dead neighbor and bought a Rolf 9mm, a gun purposefully made to be easily adjusted, and turned it into an automatic, with it, he went to a park full of females and shot 15 of them fatally and 12 non-fatally.
- His misogynism is so big that when Ed Green says that he will be executed for his crimes, he breaks down and admits to the massacre, even bawling tears because of it.
- Despite going to jail for 15 years, he ultimately gets off easy due to his testimony that Rolf Firearms made their guns too easy to change, the CEO is charged for the mass murder while he is only charged for a year for each murder.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Evil?[]
- He just barely fails the heinous standard to killers with more victims, although, he does stand out way more to other mass murderers due to having 27 victims in total, most being killed.
- He has a minor tragic backstory of which his father abused him and his mother neglected him, despite this being petty, it’s played with minor sympathy and it makes sense why he became misogynistic.
