Given his manifesto, there is no possible way a defense attorney can argue mental illness was the cause. It was a cold, pre-meditated, well planned attack carried out by a person in full control of his faculties. It will be interesting to see what kind of charges are brought in addition to the 10 counts of first degree murder and 3 counts of attempted first degree murder (as of now). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Beast, I’m not speaking for the author of that comment, but for me, what we can control is how we raise our kids. I’ve preached love not hate, and I’d like to think a role model for my kids, compassion, and not tolerate their friends if they make crappy comments. I tried everyday to think about how I acted so they watch what you do, not necessarily what we say. Beyond that, for us it was church, Catholic and Christian school, and pray. I just don’t understand the hate without even knowing someone. I’m so sorry for the families of these people. Just is terrible. I need to call my dad now as I’m sure it will be the first thing out of his mouth. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental illness can take many forms. I have little doubt that this was a hate crime I also think it’s unlikely that this kid is “normal”. my best guess is he was “a bit off” for a long time. Then accessed neo fascist web pages and thought that he could be a hero for his right wing internet buddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Sad and senseless indeed. Prayers to all those affected. I have to wonder, if these things weren’t covered so extensively in the media (not that I blame the media one bit), would there be so many mass shootings? We live in a copycat society. The guy in New Zealand was literally live streaming his kills. There were mass shootings before, like the sniper on the University of Texas campus, but I remember these things really taking off after Columbine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason people like this need to be on the planet. Death penalty opinion aside, it absolutely makes sense for it to take time to happen since it's a state sanctioning the killing of a citizen.

RunninRebel37 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Man…the fact police “talked him into putting down his gun” further illustrates how race factors into this. A white supremacist murders 10 people, with 11 of the 13 people shot being black, and police talked him down? It’s a trip. I pray something positive comes from this 4 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
