Joe Cafasso motivated by revenge and hate

It's a common psychological profile.

In this case, Joe Cafasso is looking to seek revenge for what he thinks people have done to him in his lonely little world. He's a loner and socially inept, obsessed with his targets and bombards the internet with lies and taunts. Unfortunately, as we've seen in other cases, this stalking behavior can last for years and the intensity of the abuse can increase over time. The abuse initially consists of psychological violence, but we have seen cases where it escalates and eventually culminates in physical violence.

Ego & Power Trip stalkers like Joe Cafasso are the most difficult to guard against. Like a street gang looking for likely victims, these stalker are out to prove that they can terrorize someone, bragging about it to family, friends and acquaintances who might be mortified hearing about it, but understanding the psychology of the man, afraid to show it or raise questions or objections to the behavior. Cafasso is obvlivious to this, he's on a power trip and absolutely delirious over his perceived victories. The ego & power trip stalkers are the bullies online. And they are looking for a fight.

Over time you might find that 'walking away' which is what some people recommend in response to this behavior, simply doesn't work. The only way to confront the Joe Cafasso's of the world is to teach them a lesson by confronting them head on with the lies, fabrications, cowardice, manipulation, extortion, coercion, etc.

Apparently you would like to see more evidence of this, that's why you're here. Let's take this one as a good example.

From the Hunt for Bin Laden:

“I told [CENSORED]…you should have just used a suppressor and blew him [Jack], blew him away,” Cafasso later said during a meeting in Washington, DC.

Apparently, Cafasso and FOX News were upset that CBS 60 Minutes II had obtained captured al-Qaida training footage from the advisor that Cafasso and FOX News had wanted first. Cafasso was willing to go to any lengths to get exclusive FOX coverage, even through an assassination.

His appearance in Outfoxed was not only motivated by his being 'found out' and 'exposed' by the NYT and fired by Fox, but by his failure in getting access to these tapes. This is a common bully behavior trait-claiming ownership of someone else's accomplishments (because he has nothing to show for his pathetic existence).
