Long will get his wish

People will indeed call him insane.
The man who opened fire inside a bar in Southern California killing 12 people posted on Instagram during the massacre that he hoped people would call him “insane”.

The shooter, 28-year-old Ian David Long, first posted on Instagram at 11:24 p.m., and again at 11:27 p.m., according to ABC News. Officials said the first report of gunfire at the Borderline Bar & Grill came in at 11:19 p.m. and that deputies arrived in three minutes, entering the building at 11:25 p.m.

“It’s too bad I won’t get to see all the illogical and pathetic reasons people will put in my mouth as to why I did it,” Long wrote in the first post, according to ABC. “Fact is I had no reason to do it, and I just thought... fuck it, life is boring so why not?”

In the second post, Long said, “I hope people call me insane” and that “the only thing you people do after these shootings is ‘hopes and prayers’... or ‘keep you in my thoughts’... every time... and wonder why these keep happening.”

Long, a Marine Corps veteran who lived in Newbury Park, had been in contact with police in the past for a minor traffic collision, for being the victim of a battery at a bar in April 2015, and for acting “irrationally” at his home earlier this year, officials said.

Neighbors said they heard Long argue with his mother loudly and frequently, and a former coach who alleged he sexually assaulted her during a practice 10 years ago described him as being angry and having emotional problems.
