Potential Demonic Activity

A 31-year-old man lured his 76-year-old female neighbor onto her porch (in St Louis suburbs), and killed her on the porch with a baseball bat and a knife. He was living alone, and reportedly had mental health issues. There was no apparent trigger. He played loud music and sometimes screamed inside his house, after his parents moved out last month.

This particular incident seems demonic. Some apparent psychosis and schizophrenia may have a supernatural basis. Chronic use of psychotropic medication or addictive substances may make the user susceptible to demonic influences.

More broadly, the social agitations the past few years, to include the recent spate of public shootings and other violence across the world, may indicate rising demonic activities. To what end, we don't know. But we all need to be more careful.
