How much more detached and psychotic can you get? Even with goregrind, the motive is clear, albeit deranged. This is just, fuck it, I just want this person dead just to see them die.

isn't every murder with a gun - shot to see them die?

I don't know anyone who shot someone because he wanted them call the cops

no, it can be for other reasons, for example, self defence, a disagreement, to gain territory, for profit, expression of rage, etc etc. NB :these reasons might not be right or wrong, but they are motivations outside of seeing someone die.

The idea is that in "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die” there is no other motivation. The only motive is to see the guy die, in a singularly morbid motivation.

And he was never a boy named Sue!

Hold the phone... You're telling me that it's possible that Bob Marley also shot the deputy? Wait... Did he even shoot the sheriff? And if so, how can we be sure that it was in self defense?! Oh man, my whole world is upside-down now.

also his name probably isn't Sue.
