Well....he's white, so mental illness would have to explain it. "Regular" white people don't do stuff like this.


Playing the race card hasn't helped explain anything either. Annoying.


Truth hurts? While your eyes are rolling, try to do some soul searching.

What about with lululemon girl...Brittany? Mental disorder at play?


I think it's pretty clear that she was not playing with a full deck.


Where's her DCUM sympathy? Folks here blasted her. No one was clamoring for a probe into her mental health.

That's enough of a grasp of reality for a person to be declared SANE IMO. Truly crazy people proclaim the thing they are planning and doing--their insane "system" of logic precludes them from even seeing it as wrong. Or so I thought...Maybe you can establish temporary insanity in some cases, but this doesn't remotely fit the bill.


Mental illness is not defined as not knowing right or wrong, or even whether a person has enough awareness to realize that greater society will judge his actions as wrong.

NP. So why is the "race card" being criticized but not the mental illness card, when nothing about his mental state has been released?

Because the race card doesn't apply here but the mental illness one probably does.

Who are you to decide which "card" applies? Is it because facing one of them makes you uncomfortable?

I'm a DCUM poster like you and, no, facing one of them doesn't make me uncomfortable.

It was something like a black person might beat someone up or rob them, but a white person will kill someone then eat them. I'm paraphrasing what he said, but in essence he's correct. Most serial killers are white. And I believe schizophrenia tends to affect young white males predominantly.


Are you really quoting/paraphrasing the stand-up routine of a comedian and passing it off as a factual statement?

Actually, someone else posted a study that backed up rocks theory.

Disagree completely.


To all of you who say he's insane, you do realize he was studying neuroscience right? He knows a little about mental disorders and their effects. It's quite possible that he murdered out of rage and is now faking insanity. Given his educational background, that would not be a stretch.
