Ben Carson’s shocking past, which includes attempted murder, suggests he’s a violent psychopath

The more Ben Carson speaks, the more it becomes clear that he’s suffering from some kind of mental illness. His comments on guns alone have included everything from his historically false claim that the Holocaust was caused by gun control, to the assertion that he’s more offended by gun control than he is by a “body with bullet holes.” This all suggests that he suffers from paranoid violent fantasies. And after his recent admission on CNN about his consistently violent past, it may help explain his ongoing gun obsession.

Carson was asked about his emotionless demeanor, which some have described as a catatonic while others have jokingly suggested that he’s asleep at all times. He refuted the notion that he’s too calm by pointing to his violent tendencies. He says that in his youth he attacked people with “rocks, and bricks, and baseball bats, and hammers.” He then went on to tell the story of how he once committed attempted murder by trying to stab his friend to death during a disagreement.

Everyone has things from their youth they’re not proud of. But Ben Carson has revealed that during his youth he was apparently a murderous psychopath. People don’t magically recover from that kind of violent mental illness simply because they get older. While he appears to have willed himself into no longer committing acts of violence, he’s no doubt still suffering from his paranoid violent fantasies and his urges to kill. Perhaps that explains why he’s still so obsessed with guns, obsessed with Hitler, and obsessed with violence in general. In any other context, people would be calling for a violently mentally ill man like Ben Carson to seek treatment. Instead, republicans are calling for him to be President.

The story more likely reflects the over embellishment of a 14 year old recollecting tough guy stories to his friend.  Couple that with trying to retell the story 40 years later, to show that he has been saved and reformed, and we don't really have a story here.

By your own admission, you allowed a man to slap you in the face because you didn't want to ravage him and take a life.  Years later, here you are a ripped muscle stud that no one would slap in the face, in fear of the repercussions.

My point is not to insult you, rather to suggest people change (you did)  and maybe we can let something that happened 40+ years ago, and has likely snowballed in the retelling, slide.

But 40 years later - Carson IS bragging about it.  He's continually trying to prove he's tough.  Five minutes after a mass shooting, he says that HE could be braver, HE would have stopped it... Bringing up at least 3 times he's attempted to maim or kill another human being...

He's trying to get street credit from it.  He's trying to look crazy, to be honest.  His insecurity is showing.
