That's a heck of a huge call , to claim this could have been prevented.. That Kam and Bry were somehow merely misunderstood, and a preventative tool is actually out there, one only has to tap into it....
One is tempted to ask just exactly how.
I think it's entirely possible they filmed themselves, either during, or just before, or just after they murdered all three of their unwary victims. It's not a new thing. Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik did, young men, only a few months younger than Bryer….. Their mothers and fathers were entranced by their sons, and probably still are.
Maybe Kam was as cool with himself, as enchanted with himself as Christopher Gribble... ditto Bryer . They may have seen themselves as righteous avengers and all that stuff..
Nothing seemed to faze Gribble, and it's a fair call to say that Kam and Bryer were pretty much unfazed by the time they intercepted Prof. Dyck.
What does make Kam and Bryer somewhat unusual, not a lot, but a bit unusual, is they had no distinction , re gender, of their victims. And, as far as is known, no indication of any stimulant, alcohol, crystal meth, crocodil, rohypnol, nothing chemical , prescription or illegal, has been mentioned. This is unusual, and there is significance in that they could actually do this, together, stone cold sober.
Generally, young men will murder young women. . Older men do to, at an even higher rate, but it is worth a raised eyebrow that Kam and Bryer murdered both a woman and two men.
Lucas Fowler was a physically fit young man, a surfer, a skier, a trekker, ( he had done the Milford Sound track a few times ) , a young man used to working long hours in challenging environments, and not because he had to for fiscal reasons, but because he enjoyed it, combined with his love of travel to exotic places ( yes, Canada is exotic to Australians ) .. He had just concluded a 5 month placement on a cattle ranch, not a job for the physically frail or the faint hearted.
He would have been an imposing adversary, under the circumstances, and obviously, he must have been disabled immediately, by Kam and/or Bryer, so that the female target could be dealt with, and if psychiatric terms could be used here, that must have been a moment of tremendous triumph for them both. Possibly, they filmed this. It would have been the equivalent of ascending Katchenjunga. Something historic and to be savoured and re-lived, in down times, of which many were on the horizon.
The digital world had meaning to them, and I am convinced they would have made sure that in their jaunt off into the blue north, they had secured some way to remain connected to the internet and to their
digital world of validation. . I just don't see them going cold turkey on this. It would have been like an amputation.
