come, if I’m free, I can’t deprive a stupid fucking dumbshit from his possessions if he leaves them sitting in the front seat of his fucking van out in plain sight and in the middle of fucking nowhere on a Frifuckingday night. NATURAL SELECTION. Fucker should be shot.” 52
    This is the type of rationalization for immoral, unethical, or criminal behavior typical of many criminals whose psychopathy has been established by psychological testing: if someone is dumb enough to become a victim, they deserve it.
    “I’ll never forget talking to the head counselor, who counseled both boys
    before all this [the shooting] happened. He described how different they were. Harris would just tell you what you needed to know to satisfy your needs so he could get what he wanted,” psychiatrist Ochberg remembered fourteen years after the events at Columbine. Dylan, on the other hand, was depressive and emotional, Ochberg recalls.
    Eric’s writings provide a fascinating and revealing look into the mind of a non-psychotic person who would not just dream about—but actually take the extraordinary step of—planning and executing a coldblooded massacre.
    There is no record that a formal “psychological autopsy” had been performed on either Eric or Dylan, and no evidence of an official document describing their psychological state. Former FBI Special Agent and criminal profiler Mary Ellen O’Toole, Ph.D., an expert on psychopathy with firsthand knowledge of the behavior of the Columbine shooters, confirms that no formal evaluation analysis was issued.
    Cullen’s Slate magazine article describing the opinions of Drs. Ochberg and Fuselier is still the main source of information for most people about the killers’ psychological states.
    O’Toole, who worked for over fourteen years as a profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, recalled the crime scene this way: “Based on the behavior at the crime scene: it was predatory, it was preplanned, and it was extremely callous.” As the killers moved through the school picking out victims and shooting them, they displayed a calm coldbloodedness, according to O’Toole. Experts call this eerily calm style of execution hypo-emotionality, and it is characteristic of other campus and school shooters. They moved through the school, O’Toole said, “in a very tempered and controlled way. When I saw his [Eric’s] videotapes in which he talked about his plans, there was a sense of thrill and excitement. It was [a] very risk-taking kind of behavior. I would say, based on the behavior at the crime scene, that would be a manifestation of some of the traits of psychopathy.” 53
    O’Toole’s FBI colleague Fuselier and Ochberg, a former Associate Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, go a bit further in discussing Eric’s psychopathic traits. Fuselier, a clinical psychologist, spent months studying Eric and Dylan before he arrived at his opinion. In the summer of 1999, according to Cullen’s book Columbine , Fuselier was inLeesburg, Virginia attending a meeting organized by the FBI to discuss school shootings. 54 He reviewed his findings about Eric’s personality by concluding that Eric was a “budding young psychopath.”
    A prominent psychiatrist at the meeting, however, disagreed with Fuselier, according to Cullen’s account:
    “‘I don’t think he was a budding young psychopath,’ the psychiatrist said.
    “‘What’s your objection?’
    “‘I think he was a full-blown psychopath.’
    “His colleagues agreed. Eric Harris was textbook.” 55
    Like Fuselier, Ochberg saw a budding psychopath in Eric. Ochberg traveled to Columbine repeatedly in the year following the tragedy to help victims and members of the community recover from the trauma. And he read Eric’s writings and reviewed his history.
    “I did reach a conclusion that Eric Harris appeared on his way to becoming psychopathic, that he was very good at imitating caring,” Ochberg recalled in an
