In a chilling video transcript, Claudio Neves Valente, the man believed to have killed two Brown University students during a mass shooting before fatally killing an MIT professor, expressed no remorse and little insight into his motives.
Valente described having considered doing the shootings with glasses on, but ultimately decided against it due to the fogging of the lenses. He also admitted that he had "plenty of opportunities" to carry out the attacks, but always chickened out. Instead, he said, he opted for a regular room, citing that an auditorium would have drawn too much attention.
Valente did not display any signs of remorse or regret during the videos, even when discussing his own injury and how it affected him. He stated that having one eye shot off was "not really that bad" and joked about how he only really regretted this aspect. When asked if he was mentally ill, Valente firmly denied this, saying that excuses were being made by others to avoid confronting the truth.
Valente also expressed a sense of detachment from society, stating that he had no love or hatred for America. He saw himself as just another person, who did not care about fame or leaving behind a legacy. When asked if he was afraid of dying, Valente stated that it didn't matter to him, and that he didn't have any interest in being famous.
Throughout the videos, Valente seemed to be on autopilot, offering little insight into his thoughts or feelings. The only apparent emotion displayed by Valente is frustration at those who would label him as mentally ill.

this guy is like a total robot... he's got no empathy for anyone that was affected by his actions and it's just so sad 
i mean, having one eye shot off shouldn't be something to joke about, you know? 
and his whole thing about not caring about fame or leaving behind a legacy just feels like an excuse to me... like he's trying to shift the blame onto everyone else for thinking he was crazy 
anyway, it's just really disheartening to see someone with so much capacity for destruction seem so detached from reality 
how detached he seems from society. It's like he's observing life through a veil, completely numb to the impact of his actions. Frustration at people labeling him mentally ill just makes me wonder if there's some truth to it?
Did you see this?! So 17 students lost their lives in 2 shootings and the perpetrator's video transcript is basically just a shrug? 
. And get this, he jokes about his eye being shot off 
. But what really gets me is that he knows exactly what he did was wrong and still has the audacity to deny being mentally ill 
. This guy is literally on autopilot, no emotions, no empathy 
. His lack of insight into his motives is giving me PTSD vibes 
. On a stats note: 
, and then just shrugs it off like it's no big deal 
. And his response to being asked if he was mentally ill? Firmly denying it, but also kinda coming across as defensive 
It's like watching a robot go about its tasks without any humanity in it. I'm all for exploring the psychology behind his actions, but this kind of detachment is just scary 
. Maybe it's not as easy as just going through the motions 
it's hard to shake off the feeling that this guy is some kind of philosophical nihilist who's just convinced himself that life is meaningless anyway 
. and can you believe he's not even showing any remorse for what happened? that's super creepy in my book 
. It's like he's disconnected from humanity altogether 
. And can we talk about how "detached" he seems? Like, does he even understand the impact of his actions on others? 
. He seems so detached from society it's creepy 
. I don't get why people are saying he's mentally ill, though - maybe we're just making excuses for him?
