Accused Brown University shooter planned attack for years, video transcripts show

Brown University Shooter Spent Years Plotting Attack Before Deadly rampage

A chilling video transcript obtained by authorities reveals that the man responsible for killing an MIT professor and two students at Brown University had been planning his heinous attack for nearly six years. The shooter, a former Brown student and Portuguese national, left behind short videos before his death in New Hampshire, which have now been translated from Portuguese to English.

According to the transcripts, the shooter claimed that his motives were complex, yet refused to provide any specifics on why he targeted Brown University or the MIT professor, who he had studied physics with decades earlier. The university's president, Christina Paxson, confirmed that the shooter was enrolled at Brown from 2000 to 2001 but has no current affiliation with the institution.

The footage reveals a disturbing lack of remorse from the shooter, who expressed regret for injuring his eye during the attack and insisted he is not mentally ill. However, in a striking display of narcissism, he claimed that his only objective was "to leave more or less" on his own terms, ensuring he wouldn't be the one to suffer the most from his actions.

The shooter's execution of the murders was deemed "a little incompetent" by him, but he took pride in having "at least something done." His brazen admission comes as a grim reminder that the masterminds behind such heinous crimes often leave behind cryptic clues and twisted justifications.

In the aftermath of the attacks, which left two students dead and nine injured at Brown University on December 13, followed by an MIT professor's murder days later in Massachusetts, law enforcement launched an extensive investigation. They eventually tracked down the shooter to a storage facility in New Hampshire, where he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The tragic events have sent shockwaves through both universities and the wider community, raising questions about how such tragedies can be prevented. As authorities continue to unravel the motives behind these senseless killings, it remains to be seen whether the full extent of the shooter's plans will ever be revealed.

πŸ˜” Oh man, this just gives me chills... Like, I know we gotta stay vigilant and all that, but can't we just have a moment of peace? 😩 This poor guy was plotting his attack for 6 whole years... what even is the point of living if you're just gonna die trying to make your mark on the world? 🀯 And the fact that he's so nonchalant about it all, like "oh I'm just leaving my own legacy"... it's just sickening. 😷 Like, don't get me wrong, I'm all for free speech and expression, but when it comes to violence and hatred... there's no justification, you know? πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ It's just so sad that two innocent people lost their lives over this guy's twisted desires. 😒
 
man this is just crazy 🀯 i'm still trying to process what happened at Brown University... the fact that he was planning his attack for like 6 years and was so nonchalant about it is just haunting 😩 it's like, how do you even prepare for something like that? and that video transcript is giving me chills too πŸŽ₯ it's like he's trying to justify his actions but at the same time, you can tell he's just a master manipulator πŸ’” my heart goes out to the families of those who lost their loved ones πŸ‘«
 
omg this is so sad πŸ€• i cant even believe he spent years planning it and just didnt get caught lol what was he thinking? πŸ’€ i feel bad for the victims and their families, thats so cruel to leave cryptic clues like that behind...like isnt that just gonna make people think "oh cool let me try this too" no 🚫 anyway did you know that brown university has a super pretty campus 🏰 its supposed to be one of the best liberal arts schools in the world
 
this is getting crazy 🀯 how do we know someone is not gonna show up at our doorstep with a gun? i mean, the fact that this guy was planning it for 6 whole years and still didn't get caught is wild 😱 and what's up with these videos? like, who posts a video saying "hey guys, I'm planning to kill some people"? πŸ“ΉπŸ˜³ and the part about not being mentally ill just rubs me the wrong way πŸ™„ i mean, if you're gonna commit mass murder, own it or don't do it... and btw, what's with all these storage facilities in new hampshire? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ seems like a weird place for someone to die from a self-inflicted gunshot wound πŸ˜’
 
man this is wild 🀯 like how did he plan this for 6 years and still didn't get caught? it's crazy to think about what goes through his twisted mind, all that remorse and narcissism at the same time gives me chills 😱. i feel bad for the victims and their families, can't even imagine what they're going through right now πŸ€•. schools should def have better security in place, but i guess you can't prepare for this kinda thing πŸ™. it's just devastating how senseless it all is πŸ’”
 
πŸ€• this is so messed up, six years of planning and no remorse πŸ™„ he's more worried about not suffering than the lives lost... what's wrong with people these days? πŸ€” mental health issues are a big problem but is it just an excuse for bad behavior? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ should be more accountability for ppl who plan such things πŸ’―
 
.. πŸ˜• this is just so depressing πŸ€• I mean, six years of planning, and that's what gets me, the whole "nearly six years" thing πŸ•°οΈ seems like such a normal amount of time, you know? Like, we're always hearing about how people are "preparing for" something or other, but rarely do we see the actual prep work πŸ€”. It's just so... calculated πŸ’€. And the fact that he left behind these videos, it's like he was trying to leave a trail of breadcrumbs, but also, what, to prove a point? πŸ—ΊοΈ I don't know, man, it all just feels so... off 😳.

And can we talk about how he thought his execution was "a little incompetent"? πŸ˜‚ what does that even mean? Did he think he was gonna get away with murder and then suddenly realize like, "oh wait, nope, I'm dead"? 🀣. But seriously, the whole thing is just so... twisted πŸŒͺ️.

It's crazy to think about how one person can plan something like this and still not be recognized as a threat until it's too late πŸ’”. We need to be better at identifying these warning signs, you know? πŸ™. Anyway, I'm gonna go listen to some old music now... 🎡
 
OMG, can you believe this guy was planning his attack for 6 whole years? Like, who has that much time on their hands? 🀯 He must've been watching a lot of Netflix or something πŸ˜‚. And what's up with the lack of remorse? "I'm not mentally ill"... sure, buddy, keep telling yourself that as you're rotting in jail 🚫. The fact that he left behind these cryptic videos just makes it even more messed up. I mean, who leaves a video saying they want to leave a mark on the world? Sounds like a 12-year-old trying to be cool 😎.
 
πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Can't believe some people think they're above the law just because they've got a plan and a gun... like that's gonna stop anyone πŸ™„ And honestly, who tries to justify their actions by saying they didn't want to suffer the most? Talk about a narcissist πŸ˜’. I mean, come on, if you're gonna go full-on psycho, at least have the decency to be good at it πŸ’€.

And can we please talk about how some shooters just think they're above getting caught 🀯? Like, no, dude, your 'little incompetence' doesn't excuse killing innocent people. It's just... basic common sense, I guess πŸ™ƒ. Anyway, I'm all for a good debate on how to prevent this stuff from happening in the future πŸ‘Š
 
man this is so messed up πŸ€• the fact that he spent 6 years planning this attack is just wild 🀯 and i cant believe the guy is like "oh im not mentally ill" πŸ™„ like that doesn't even sound right to me, it sounds like a total cop out πŸ˜’ and what really gets me is how brazen he was about leaving clues behind, its like he wanted to be caught πŸš” but at the same time you can feel the remorse in his words, like hes genuinely regretful of what he did πŸ’”
 
I don’t usually comment but... this whole thing is just so messed up πŸ€•. Six years planning an attack? That's crazy, you know? It's like he was waiting for something or someone to happen and then BAM! He snapped πŸ”«. And the fact that he left behind these videos with all his thoughts and feelings about it... it's just twisted 😳. I don't get why he felt the need to justify what he did in such a sick way πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. It's like he was trying to make himself feel better or something, but honestly, it just comes across as really arrogant and selfish πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. What can we even do to prevent this kind of thing from happening again? πŸ€”
 
I'M STILL TRYING TO PROCESS ALL THE CHILLING DETAILS OF THIS STUFF!! THE FACT THAT HE SPENT 6 YEARS PLANNING THIS ATTACK IS JUST MIND-BOGGLING, AND THE THOUGHT THAT HE LEFT BEHIND THOSE SHORT VIDEOS BEFORE HIS DEATH IS JUST GROSS. I MEAN, WHO DOES THAT?! IT SOUNDS LIKE HE WAS REALLY NARCISSISTIC AND UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT HIS ACTIONS, WHICH IS JUST SO DISTURBING. AND THE FACT THAT HE REFUSED TO EXPLAIN WHY HE TARGETED THOSE SPECIFIC PEOPLE OR INSTITUTIONS... IT'S LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO COVER UP SOMETHING OR PROTECT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. ANYWAY, I HOPE THE INVESTIGATION REVEALS ALL THE DETAILS SO WE CAN LEARN FROM THIS AND PREVENT SUCH TRAGEDIES IN THE FUTURE πŸ€―πŸ’”
 
Ugh man 🀯 this is just so disturbing I'm still trying to process what happened at Brown University the fact that he was planning this for like 6 years and left behind these cryptic videos it's chilling 😱 and I'm really frustrated why didn't anyone catch on sooner? πŸ€” the shooter's narcissism is just wild he thought he was above the law and that his only objective was to leave a mark πŸ’€ but at what cost? πŸ‘Š we need to be doing more to support our universities and communities to prevent these kinds of tragedies from happening again 🀝
 
πŸ€• This is just so messed up... I mean, 6 years of planning? It's like he was just ticking away in his head, waiting for the perfect moment to unleash all this pain and suffering. But you know what really gets me? The fact that he thought he could leave a mark on us without being truly defined by it. Like, he wanted to be remembered, but not as the person who hurt so many innocent people. It's like, hello, your legacy is already written - one of hate and violence. 😩 But I guess that's what makes this whole thing so frustrating... we can't help but wonder what drove him to do such a terrible thing, even if we know it'll never change anything. πŸ€”
 
Umm... this is so crazy 🀯 I mean, six years planning an attack? That's like, what even is that? 😱 How did he not get caught or something? He talks about his motives being complex but just gives a bunch of vague stuff... and then admits to being really narcissistic πŸ™„. Like, what kind of person thinks they can just justify hurting people on their own terms? It's so messed up.

And I don't get why he didn't even try to hide it or leave any real clues... I mean, I know his videos are chilling and all but still, shouldn't law enforcement be able to pick up on something like that? πŸ€”

What really gets me is how he talks about not wanting to suffer the most from his actions... isn't that just a fancy way of saying he didn't want to die himself? πŸ˜’ I mean, it's so selfish. And what about all those people who were hurt or killed because of him? πŸ€•

I don't know... I guess my point is... how do we even prevent this kind of stuff from happening in the future? πŸ€”

I think its pretty sus that he was planning this for like 6 years and nobody knew πŸ€”πŸ’­. Like, how did we miss those kinda red flags? Wasnt his "complex motives" just a fancy way of saying hes been stalking or something? I mean what if he just wanted attention? Idk, but I do know Im not buying the whole "he's not mentally ill" thing πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. Theres gotta be more to this story than meets the eye.
