This was a fascinating rabbit hole. Here's Myron May - who shot and injured 3 people and then was killed by the cops - describing his "stalking". At first blush, he seems intelligent and rational - but as you listen, it soon becomes clear that he's in profound psychological distress.

He's using all the terminology employed by the targeted individual community - he clearly found "his people" online, and with it validation and an explanation of what he was experiencing. I wonder what role this played in the fact that he never got the help he needed.

There are crackpots out there for sure.

There are also targeted people.

And even the paranoid have enemies. ;)
