Man Charged with Two Kidnappings Days Apart at San Diego Mall

The boldness of this perpetrator, to walk up and snatch a toddler away from its parents in broad daylight, at a busy mall in the summertime, speaks to (a) his degree of desperation to carry out his desires and (b) his level of disconnection with reality, loss of ability to perceive potential consequences that would be very obvious to others.  Basically whatever he wants those children for, it has overtaken his ability to process other information.  All of the RAM in his brain is busy with his thoughts of small children, and getting one to himself.

So hopefully the police have found and arrested the right person.  Because JFC, what this person in the Satriale's T-shirt is describing is horrifying, that someone walked right up to his family and casually grabbed their 5-year-old to walk off with her.

Also the fact that this happened twice, at the same place, within a few days, suggests someone whose world has collapsed.  It's a situation that has gone bad and will only end with civic intervention.  So I very much hope they've found the right guy.
