[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has worked in psychiatric hospitals for many years with many forensic cases, I would bet this guy is mentally ill.  He looks around the age that most seriously mentally ill people have their first psychotic break.  He probably had some crazy belief that the pastor or someone in the church or maybe black people were putting voices in his head.  I doubt it was a functioning normal person who was just committing a hate crime.    [/quote]

And the excuses and rationalizing begins. White mass killer equals mental illness. Hispanic mass killer equals cartel gang member. Black mass killer equals thug. Asian mass killer equals ?, I don't know, what were the excuses for the Virginia Tech shooter. SMH[/quote]

this is BS, you look at the facts. a person killing scores of strangers is likely mentally ill and not a criminal.  a criminal kills for a reason, does not go into an elementary school to kill first graders, goes into a bank to rob it and may kill if is convenient.  plenty of white organized crime (mafia and so on) made multiple killings and nobody thought they were crazy.  a latino going to a movie theather and shooting spectators is liekly mental ilness, a  latino killling members of a rival gang over a drug deal is not mental ilness, like no mental ilness is likely involved when gangs of white bikers face each others with guns.  Timothy McVeigh killed scores of strangers and was white, he was executed and certainly he was considered a criminal and terrorist, not crazy.  the Virignia Tech shooter was Asia and the circumstances of the shooting made clear is was insane.  I am not aware of a mass shooting of random strangers made by a single black male.  even in the case of the Savopoulos killings, people said that while the guy is a criminal (and his record proves it), there might be some level of mental ilness involved because simply you do not kill and torture in such a cruel and unnecessary manner unless you are not totaly sane, even if he was aware of what he was dling.[/quote]

I do not agree that it's BS.  I bet it will come out that he was mentally ill and there were lots of obvious signs of it.  Our mental health care system appears broken.[/quote]

What do you suggest?  Do you think we should lock them back up and force feed them their meds.  If they are anything like my schizophrenic BIL they take their meds  when they want, or not. But, to my knowledge, BIL,has not killed anyone, more less nine people. [/quote]
