Eric Harris: Difference between revisions

== Psychological analysis ==

He has broken national stories on the shootings such as leaked crime scene photos, and the sealed diversion files of the killers. He has also reported the story extensively for the <em>Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor, Newsday, and U.S. News & World Report</em>.

Hare says, "Unlike psychotic individuals, psychopaths are rational and aware of what they are doing and why. Their behavior is the result of choice, freely exercised." In analyzing the pages of enraged writings in Harris' journals, Hare concludes the writings are not an expression of anger stemming from being ostracized or bullied, but are indicative of a deep superiority complex that seeks to punish the entire human race for its inferiority. Says Hare, "It's more about demeaning other people." According to Supervisory Special Agent Dwayne Fuselier, the FBI's lead Columbine investigator and a clinical psychologist, Harris exhibited a pattern of grandiosity, contempt, and lack of empathy or remorse, distinctive traits of psychopaths that Harris concealed through deception. Fuselier adds that Harris engaged in mendacity not merely to protect himself, as Harris rationalized in his journal, but also for pleasure, as seen when Harris expressed his thoughts in his journal regarding how he and Klebold avoided prosecution for breaking into a van. Other leading psychiatrists concur that Harris was a psychopath suffering from co-morbid [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder narcissistic personality disorder ]and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorder borderline personality disorder] with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder antisocial] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoid_personality_disorder paranoid] features.
