Mental ill health is now the first port of call for the authorities and the tards. It's very convenient.
Not following you here. Is there any doubt the mass murderers such as Holmes, Lanza and Loughner were mentally ill?
The facts prove these people are fucking nuts. Now, like shooting a rabid dog, it saddens me to kill them, but society must defend itself against such people. Furthermore, we must neutralize those that support them.
I'm not familiar with the people you named, but what I mean is the refrain that these killers are not 'really Muslim" seems to have turned into "they are mentally ill", the family, authorities and apologists spout it immediately before there is any evidence to suggest this.
Are evil people always mentally ill? IDK. Is every barbaric member of Isis mentally ill? I doubt it. There is a very long list of court cases where the defence have tried desperately hard to go down the mentally ill route for Islamic terrorists. It seems atm that they succeed with this less often than they fail, for equally and more violent Islamic offenders. It seems to me that it is becoming the go to response almost all the time, and yes, I find that convenient.
