Reuters investigation has found that Democratic golden boy Beto O’Rourke was a secret member of hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow as a teen. During that time, he also dabbled in fiction writing under the handle “Psychedelic Warlord.”

Penned “Visions from the Last Crusade”

@SteveGuest
Beto O'Rourke "wrote a murder fantasy in which the narrator drives over children on the street."

"As I near the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator peddle on the floor until I heard the crashing of 2 kids on the hood & the small cry of pain from 1 of the 2... I was fascinated for a moment, sweet visions filling my head." - @BetoORourke

"I had killed nearly 38 people by the time of my 23rd birthday, and each one was more fulfilling than the last. I was never really surprised how I evaded the police." -@BetoORourke

The left doesn't care. These tactics are only reserved for their enemies. Hell, Bernie and his campaign were embroiled in a sexual assault scandal and the left gave zero fricks.

I'm sorry, this is fricked up.

Child or not.

What age he wrote this at is irrelevant.

I have NEVER fantasized about killing anything. I would imagine, most sane people would agree.

I disagree. Thinking these things is nowhere near attempting to act them out.

The only problem I have is the outrage isn't applied equally

Replying to @josephmenn
O’Rourke wasn't just a random hacker who stole long-distance service to reach bulletin boards, where tech-savvy people hung out online before the Web. As a teen, he also belonged to the notorious and wildly influential Cult of the Dead Cow LINK (2/10)

There is no indication that O’Rourke ever engaged in the edgiest sorts of hacking activity, such as breaking into computers or writing code that enabled others to do so. But his membership in the group could explain his approach to politics better than anything on his resume. His background in hacking circles has repeatedly informed his strategy as he explored and subverted established procedures in technology, the media and government.

“There’s just this profound value in being able to be apart from the system and look at it critically and have fun while you’re doing it,” O’Rourke said. “I think of the Cult of the Dead Cow as a great example of that.” LINK

Artistic license and the voters can decide if it matters.

Beto O'Rourke is a bitch and a moron...but come the frick on guys. This is fricking fiction. Have you ever watched a horror movie, True Detective, Dexter?

Dark shite is a classic topic of fiction. It doesnt make you a psycho or a loon to write. And it isnt a "Fantasy".

Bashing people for writing fictional horror stories? Come on now. There is more than enough juicy goods to bash Beta on, but ripping people for writing fictional horror is very silly and crossing a line that should not be crossed.

I dont want Beto running the country. But what does fiction writing have to do with running a country?

Also there is a direct correlation between intelligence and unhappiness so I would actually expect super smart people (of which Beto is not) to be dark. And yes, i want smart people running the country.

Most of the authors are kooky folks who we wouldn't want running our nation.

Kooky Beto is mentally unstable - has been for a while!

No doubt. I get the impression people are trying to paint the dude as mentally unstable due to attempting to be a horror writer. If that's what's happening it is a losing point and one that looks foolish.
