[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we take the fact out that he was not proven to be mentally ill yet? I do not like the labeling of him being mentally ill as if only mentally ill people would do such a thing.[/quote]

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

For me it has nothing to do with him being white. It is the fact he was medical student working on a PhD - no indication of any past history of violence and claims from family/friends that he had been acting strangely.

If a back man had been in the same scenario and done the same thing I would feel the same way.

Completely different from someone black or white who is in a gang, has a long criminal past, has never been gainfully employed and has a traumatic violent past that has left him angry and aggressive.

People with mental illness are no more likely to be violent or aggressive to strangers than anyone else. however often when they commit violent acts it makes the news because of the unpredictability and incongruency of the act with the person.

Yes, but why did that young black man join a gang? What sort of mental illness was he suffering from to cause him to seek this type of acceptance and approval? Was he shunned by "the normal folks"? "Traumatic violent past"...that would cause some mental disorder, no? Perhaps PTSD?

What about with lululemon girl...Brittany? Mental disorder at play? [/quote]
