Herbert Mullin was a man who blamed anybody and everything for his unhappy life. He lived a normal childhood with a father who fought in World War II, and taught his son that killing was a natural device a man had to use in order to survive in war. Diagnosed a paranoid schizophrenic five different times, Mullin was released from each mental hospital with a clean bill of health. This error came in the form of a bill that was passed by Governor Ronald Reagan, who ordered the closing of mental facilities in the Northern California area, thus leaving the people who really needed psychological help to remain on the streets with the potential to harm others.

Mullin amplified his schizophrenia by taking a multitude of hard drugs on a daily basis that turned his mind into a melting pot of violence and rage. Mullin believed that he was psychic and could hear the voices of people he encountered giving him permission to kill them. Mullin also believed that he was saving the earth from a cataclysmic earthquake that was soon to take place in San Francisco, California at any moment.

Killing came easy for Mullin when he could blame his father for teaching him that killing was a natural thing, and blaming drug dealers for messing with his mind. Mullin murdered thirteen people without emotion or a conscience believing he was doing the world a favor and he would be seen as a hero and a prophet someday. The only heroes the world seen were the California police after they finally caught him and put him behind bars for life.
