We’re All Here Together: Black, White, Red, Yellow & Brown
There is no single way to be an assassin. A murderer. Some are highly trained professionals employed by the state or a powerful commercial interest, but just as likely the person with malicious intent in their minds, is a sour and angry individual with a political or culturally based grudge, who is seeking an immediate adjustment in how the universe works.
– In their eyes, anyway.
Then lastly is the solitary, lone wolf type who is often a deeply disturbed, irrational malcontent who is entirely capable of ending the life of an innocent person that they alone have decided no longer has the right to exist in this world.
These types of people are extremely dangerous, if only because they can be just about anyone; as in a simple innocuous nobody. The type of person people walk past every day without taking notice. The friendless, outcast lone wolf often falls off the deep end of the pier and starts seeking vengeance against a world where they just don’t fit in.
It doesn’t take a deep dive into history to find one of the more egregious and memorable assassinations in all of human history. “Et tu Brute,” or something similar to that aggrandized phrase popularized by William Shakespeare in a well-known play, was allegedly murmured by none other than Julius Ceasar himself, as his Senate colleagues plunged sharp pugios [daggers] into his torso on March 12th, 44 BC.
The Ides of March.
The historically important death of one of the Roman Empire’s most acclaimed leaders, of course, was not the work of one deranged individual. Julius Ceasar’s untimely demise is an example of how the malevolent actions of evil schemers who have a desire to kill, can have a significant cultural impact that reaches all the way from antiquity and into the modern era.
