The acquaintance also said that life had "very little" to offer Red Dog. Delaware deputy attorneys Steven P. Wood and Peggy J. Hageman, who prosecuted Red Dog, tried and failed to find a motive. According to Wood, attributing Red Dog's behavior to his upbringing is too easy: "There is no denying the privation Native Americans are subjected to on reservations, but the simple fact is there are hundreds of thousands of Native Americans raised in those conditions, and precious few become multiple murders", he said, as well as that his killings were "essentially motiveless". Six of his eight sisters, however, said that he was not a "multiple and motiveless killer".

Whenever dharma declines and the purpose of life is forgotten by men, says Krishna, he returns to re-establish dharma. Every time he returns, he teaches about inner Self in all beings. The later verses of the chapter return to the discussion of motiveless action and the need to determine the right action, performing it as one's dharma (duty) while renouncing the results, rewards, fruits. The simultaneous outer action with inner renunciation, states Krishna, is the secret to the life of freedom.

He participated in several armed robberies, as was not uncommon for anarchist groups at the time for financing their activities. Groups engaging in these sorts of behavior were termed as "bezmotivniks", from "bezmotivny" - "motiveless terror". During his period of activity there, he robbed, among others, an artel official at a mine and a cash office in Debaltseve.

Since the announcement, the conflict between those who agree that the crime is without motivation and those who think it a gender-based hate crime had intensified.

New York City senior detectives said the term was used by the suspects when describing their actions to police. The police described the attacks as "random" and "motiveless", saying they had "terrorized" people in the park. This account of the term "wilding" was soon disputed by investigative reporter Barry Michael Cooper, who said that it originated in a police detective's misunderstanding of the suspects' use of the phrase "doing the wild thing", lyrics from rapper Tone Loc's hit song "Wild Thing".Cooper, Barry Michael (May 9, 1989) "The Central Park Rape" in The Village Voice.

" Total Film described the film as a "bewildering North london gangster flick involves writer/director/star/novelist 'Q' unhappily shoehorning his book into a strange 80 minutes of humdrum exposition and lost plotlines. Paedophiles, terrorists and motiveless murders add to the nonsense." Fiona McKinson of EURWeb said of the film "the initial scenes use pieces to camera and poetry, which creates an ethereal quality, though this is not sustained throughout the film." California News described the film as "Slam-Bang Cliffhanger action," Screen Nation added: "...that never lets up - Terrific.

This Post-It protest was a challenge to and a frame-shift for the interpretation of events. Instead of a motiveless crime caused by mental illness, it was called femicide based on gender-based hate, and it changed the frame of interpretation dominant at the time. Post-Its has emerged as a medium in a series of tragedies and memorials in Korean society such as Sewol Ferry disaster and this Gangnam station murder case. Recently, citizens used these notes as a means of collectively expressing their feelings and opinions.

Laurence Fishburne and Kenneth Branagh as Othello and Iago respectively, in a scene from the 1995 film version of Othello. Iago has been described as a "motiveless malignity" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This reading would seem to suggest that Iago, much like Don John in Much Ado About Nothing or Aaron in Titus Andronicus, wreaks havoc on the other characters' lives for no ulterior purpose. Léone Teyssandier writes that a possible motive for Iago's actions is envy towards Desdemona, Cassio and Othello; Iago sees them as more noble, generous and, in the case of Cassio, more handsome than he is.

The Serious Crime Analysis Section moved to SOCA from the National Policing Improvement Agency on 1 April 2012 in advance of the planned establishment of the National Crime Agency in 2013. SCAS is based at Foxley Hall in the grounds of the Police Staff College, Bramshill in Hampshire. It was originally formed by the Home Office in 1998 to identify the potential emergence of serial killers and serial rapists at the earliest stage of their offending. This scope has since broadened to include the analysis by specialist staff of rapes, serious sexual assaults and motiveless or sexually motivated murders.

Taratuta was arrested again in October 1905, but she was released during the political amnesty that resulted from that year's Revolution. She joined the militant wing of the South Russian Group of Anarcho-Communists, which used "motiveless terror"—attacks against institutions and representatives of the bourgeoisie, rather than specific individuals. Taratuta was involved in the bomb attack on Odessa's Café Libman in December 1905, for which she was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Taratuta escaped from prison in December 1906 and fled to Geneva, where she joined Buntar ("The Mutineer") and edited its newspaper, also called Buntar.

However, the lyrics do convey a deeply felt sense of guilt, as well as a vision of faith, righteousness, fear and betrayal. The sense of guilt is particularly prevalent in the final verse: The opening couplet of the song paraphrases the song "Joe Hill", which begins with the lines "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night", by Alfred Hayes and Earl Robinson. "Joe Hill" was a folk song written as a tribute to the union organizer Joe Hill, who was viewed by supporters as a martyr after he was convicted of a motiveless murder based on weak evidence. The reference is ironic, since the song seems to deny the existence of modern martyrs to lead humanity towards salvation.

It states the dharmic householder can achieve the same goals as the renouncing monk through "inner renunciation", that is "motiveless action". One must do the right thing because one has determined that it is right, states Gita, without craving for its fruits, without worrying about the results, loss or gain. Desires, selfishness and the craving for fruits can distort one from the dharmic action and spiritual living. The Gita synthesis goes further, according to its interpreters such as Swami Vivekananda, and the text states that there is Living God in every human being and the devoted service to this Living God in everyone – without craving for personal rewards – is a means to spiritual development and liberation.

The film opens in black and white with the motiveless murder of a professor by his student in Warsaw in 1958. The student walks through the war- torn streets whereupon he meets a sailor who offers him passage from the country through a job on board a ship. They go into a dancehall to wine and dine while they negotiate the deal; the student agrees to listen to the sailor's life story as part of the payment and then to give him three Danish crowns. The sailor tells his story – depicted in colour – but is interrupted on several occasions by the student who either questions his logic or complains that he has heard this story told time and again.

" The police decided that Kim's attitude was a delusional paradox with no clear evidence or case and announced, "He firmly believes in vague feelings and thoughts that he has been victimized by women. And his way of speaking is 'it's certain because I can feel it.' He committed a crime with deliberate accidents without directly relating to the motive of the crime or the victim. It is a characteristic of motiveless crime that the plan is not systematic compared to the purpose such as not escaping the very next day and not getting rid of the evidence but coming to the restaurant and being arrested without real plan or preparation for arrest.

The memes became widely discussed on Chinese Internet forums, and most users concluded that the initial aim of the hoaxes was to satirise and ridicule the pointlessness of the new keyword filters. The meme is interpreted by most Chinese online as a form of direct protest rather than motiveless intentional disruption to Baidu services. After the hoaxes were posted, news of the articles spread quickly online on joke websites, popular web portals and forums such as Baidu Tieba, while a large number of posts were sent on the Tencent QQ Groups chat service. There have also been various parodies of the meme created (such as the "Baidu 10 Legendary Weapons" and "Baidu 10 Secret Delicacies"卧槽，又来一个！百度十大神秘美食~~).

In a brutal, and apparently motiveless, slaying that shocked the country, Tair Rada, 13, was stabbed to death in 2006 in a bathroom stall in the Nofey Golan High School where she studied in Katzrin. In 2010, four years after the slaying, 32-year-old Roman Zadorov, a repair contractor at the school, was found guilty of Rada’s murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Rada’s parents argued that their daughter’s murder occurred as a result of negligence, after the school and local authorities hired contract workers, including Zadorov, without carrying out any prior checks on them. Those workers were then permitted to come into close contact with schoolchildren. According to the indictment, on the day of Rada’s murder, Zadorov left the school cellar where he was laying a new floor and came across Rada on a stairwell leading to a bathroom.

Susan Nelles was arrested and charged with murder, but a judge acquitted her at the preliminary hearing stage and the case never went to trial, partly because she had not been on duty when one death the judge decided was an additional murder occurred, and more than one nurse being involved in a series of motiveless murders strained credulity. The exonerated nurse did not believe that there had been any murders, and in a 2011 interview she reiterated that the 1985 inquiry report had been incorrect in stating that many deaths during a rise in mortality on the ward (from one a week to five) had been deliberate homicides. Data from the investigation was sent to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which discovered that Traynor was the only person who had been on duty for all 29 cases of death being looked at. In 1984 two nurses testified they had seen Traynor making a 21 March 1981 unauthorized injection into the IV of a baby who died three hours later.

Ted senses he is losing his vocation as he finds the ideals of the Welfare State foundering, as he sees it, on the greed, laziness and limitations of the people involved. He loses his seat and faces bankruptcy. But as his determinedly ruthless, opinionated brother goes on from strength to strength in pursuit of his commitment to what he sees as the Labour cause he is convinced he himself embodies, Ted chooses the quiet path, returning to the pit where he began his working life, believing he can make a modest contribution to bettering the lot of his fellow workers. The message of disillusion is not hard to discern in these books, and the author is courageously critical of some received party political wisdom of those post-war years. Thicker Than Water (1955), though set in the English Midlands, seems likely was in part inspired by the Clapham Common murder of 1953, the emblematic motiveless Teddy Boy crime of the early 1950s, which was also to inspire Julian Symons’s Progress of a Crime (1960) and Tony Parker’s later documentary book The Plough Boy (1965). Tilsley’s talent for creating suspense, an outstanding feature in I’d Do It Again, is evident here also.
