I have to deal with crazy animal rights people on a regular basis in my job. The Crazy just usually doesn't rise to this level (although it may be lurking under the surface):
An Ohio woman who compared animal-welfare work to the liberation of World War II concentration camps has been charged with soliciting a hit man to fatally shoot or slit the throat of a random fur-wearer, federal authorities said.
And she was pretty specific, too...
The affidavit says an FBI employee posing as a possible hit man later began email correspondence with Lowell, and she offered him $730 in jewelry or cash for the killing of a victim of at least 12 years but "preferably 14 years old or older" outside a library near a playground in her hometown.
"You need to bring a gun that has a silencer on it and that can be easily concealed in your pants pocket or coat. ... If you do not want to risk the possibility of getting caught with a gun before the job, bring a sharp knife that is (at least) 4 inches long, it should be sharp enough to stab someone and/or slit their throat to kill them. I want the person to be dead in less than 2 minutes," says an email reprinted in the affidavit.
Reprinted emails also say Lowell wrote that she sees nothing wrong with "liberating" animals from fur factory farms and laboratories since "soldiers liberated people from Nazi camps in World War 2."

She wanted to kill someone -- not a specific person that she knew but a specific 'type' of person.
That's not crazy, that's evil. That's Nazi evil.
M.D. - I started to post her mugshot picture, but it was creeping me out too much first thing in the morning.
How is it liberating to kill a child that has nothing to do with the housing of animals or manufacturing of fur?
That would be like in WW2 shooting the Polish to free the Jews. Makes NO sense whatsoever.
And even if there was any sense to the thought process, there is no sense in the act. Some people are just... well, idiots.
