Sad that people even publish or give any credit to their "story" at all.

Two shooter events have unique psychological traits that usually involve a very dominant leader, who manipulates someone else into the ride.

If you believe that Devon Erickson had any intention of "helping" I've got a bridge to sell you. The fact that he is now trying to sell his co-conspirator under the bus and cast himself as the "hero" tells you just about everything you need to know about their dynamic and is typical of hardcore sociopath.

With that in mind, who do you think is the dominant manipulator, and who is the manipulated? Which version is more reliable?

I'm ignoring all the associated politicized garbage associated with this post.
