“Cult leader” Scott Caruthers is charged with conspiring to murder three people, reports the Baltimore Sun. The leader of the group called “BDX ” is now being held in jail, though he could be released on bail for $1 million dollars.
Caruthers believes he is an alien from outer space who communicates back to the “mother ship” through cats. Mr. Caruther’s attorney has requested that he be evaluated for an “insanity defense.”
Is it really surprising that some cult leaders might be crazy? Remember the leader of “Heaven’s Gate,” former mental hospital inpatient Marshall Applewhite? He thought he was part of an intergalactic “away team.”
Some people say you have to be crazy to join a cult, but perhaps it’s far more likely if you lead one.
no comment untill now
