A SOMATOTYPICAL, DEMOGRAPHIC, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS REVEALS THAT AMERICA'S POLITICAL ASSASSINS HAVE BEEN WHITE, SHORT, SLIGHT OF BUILD, BETWEEN 24 AND 40, AND NEUROTIC OR PSYCHOTIC (MOSTLY PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC).
Abstract
THE AUTHOR ALSO NOTES THE PREVALENT ABSENCE OF FATHERS DURING UPBRINGING OR THE PRESENCE OF ABUSIVE FATHERS. HE HYPOTHESIZES THAT MANY OF THE ASSASSINS ARE CHAGRINED BY THEIR INABILITY TO ACHIEVE UNREALISTIC GOALS.
