"Apt Pupil" was actually the story I was thinking of where the main character shoots at passing cars with a hunting rifle

From someone who writes books from his nightmares... his assumptions mean less than nothing!

I would have thought Stephen King would be more vocal about psychos driving Dodge vans, rather than owners of AR-15s, who have, as far as I know, never harmed him in any way.

Technically, Rage wasn't originally a Stephen King novel, it was one of the Bachman books written under his pen name, Richard Bachman.
The Running Man, which the Schwarzenegger movie was loosely based on, was also one of the Bachman books. Attached File |

I bet he's the type of person that hates guns because he is sick, maybe violent and would act upon evil selfish feelings and shoot innocent people. They are actually afraid of themselves & too far in to realize it.
They can't fathom that others would never do the same. |

Would like
But he's got 42k libtards on his side on the narrative factory website Only way we could turn the tide is getting Aimless half a mil followers for tweets about broken hatchets, hearts, and .38s. And toss in some nunchucks tweets. Hashtagoneofthegoodboomers |

I was thinking of the movie adaptation that doesn't have that part. Roadwork is where the guy blows himself up in his house |

Four out of the original five Bachman books had some pretty psycho stuff in them.
In Rage, it's a school shooter. In Roadwork, an armed man barricades himself inside his home to prevent the government from taking it under Eminent Domain. In The Running Man, a guy hijacks a plane and flies it into a skyscraper. In Thinner, a corrupt judge and a lying police officer help a friend skate on manslaughter charges, after he hit and killed an old gypsy woman while driving distracted. Some interesting plot lines, don't you think? |

As I was once told many years ago "People see in others what they see in themselves."

Really good book, and actually pretty tame. King is a fucking grade-A douche though. He's that special kind of idiot who seems to think that because they've achieved a level of success all of the sudden their vapid, uninformed opinions are somehow innately and irrefutably correct. Basically any liberal.

View Quote Well, he's obviously thought about school shootings, barricaded stand-offs, and terrorist activities in great detail. He's basically acted all of these situations out in his mind. One could even say he thinks like a school shooter and terrorist, as he's the one who thought out their every action. A bit creepy, isn't it? |

He is such a good writer because he lives in a fantasy world. Dudes a giant douchepickle.

"Cain Rose Up"
King short story where a college student goes on a shooting rampage by sniping the campus from his dorm window. Seemed to have been a common plot device for him. |
|
Well, psychos love kitchen knives too. Should I not own those either?
|
|
Nonfiction is something he’s always struggled with.
Also, I’ll take fetal alcohol syndrome face for $1k, Alex. |
|
After he got TBI from getting hit by that van he ain’t been right since.
He even says that. |
|
Guys an asshole. Met that mother fucker in the late 1980s and afterwards I burned everyone of his books I owned and have not read another one since. Fuck you Stephen King.

Now your taxes will be audited every year and your phone will have issues.

I read Rage back in the early 90's while I was in high school, and it scared me. The way King glorified the shooter... I was sure it would eventually lead to copycats.
The Bachman books, seems strange I can remember most of the details in the stories 30 years later. |

I believe it's called Cain Rose Up |
