Why no talk of "mental health" with this shooting ?

[Timmy]

A year ago there was the Charleston shooting . After that massacre all the coverage was about "mental health " and keeping guns away from crazies .

Not so much this time . Wonder why ? Oh thats right , the shooter was a white racist Christian type looking to start a race war . No big deal .

But when it's a muslim lunatic ......TERRORISM!!! What to do with ISIS !??

 

[CrusaderFrank]

That was deep

 

[Yousaidwhat]

Too busy contemplating disarming law abiding citizens?

Law abiding citizens like Omar?

Law abiding citizens like Omar?

Oh please!

 

[Crixus]

Well, up until he broke the law, he was law abiding.

Law abiding citizens like Omar?

Oh please!

What? He wa a law abiding gun owner up until the point he pulled the trigger on his first victim . Right? I mean, so what if he was a deranged psycho .

He was. Had he been a psycho type guy then it would be a tiny bit different conversation now.

Was he ever diganosed with a mental illiness? Was he ever committed to a mental institution? Have any of his friends,neighbors, or coworkers come foreward to say they saw things in his behavior that suggested to them he had mental problems? If the answer to one or more of these is yes then mental health should be part of the discussion if not then it would seem bringing it up is just a way to deflect from the fact another radical Islamic terrorist was able to pull of an attack.

He didn't seem to have mental health issues, he even took the time to phone the police to pledge his support for ISIS and then ISIS HQ bragged openly that he'd committed the massacre for them.

In the Orlando Shooting this really seems to be part of a real war.

In that, it is not assumed that a solider, even one that is a traitor and a war criminal, is insane.

In Charleston, there was no such war, or ideology given cause and reason to the violence.

If there was ACTUALLY a Race War like the Charleston Shooter wanted, then his actions may have been ideological instead of insane.


That being said, it is interesting the number of Islamic terrorists who do seem to have mental issues. And I have heard this discussed.

But our society and legal system seems to have a problem with the implications if we start defining strong Islamic Faith as a mental illness.

The more details that emerge about him it does seem like he was more of a nut than a terrorist, but still a terrorist.

The other day someone was attempting to say he committed this massacre because he was a repressed gay

They're using all and any excuse to attempt to deflect from the elephant in the room, this was another act of terrorism, committed by yet another Muslim killing for the Religion of Peace in the name of Allah.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist.

his actions are ideological, whether he's insane or not, whether he was able to inspire a race war or not, his motives were political, that makes him a terrorist.

How he was a law abiding gun owner and how he was cleared to work for a DHS contractor when he was previously approached by the FBI, twice is questionable.

Again. Our Government failed in their duties. They knew he was dangerous.

 

[Timmy]

No mental issues ? He was a wife beating , super angry, self hating closet case, who calmly killed 50 people !

Freud would have a field day with him!

Maybe they looked the other way, if you know what I mean?

The Paris terrorists were known to the authorities, the London 7/7 terrorists were known to the authorities, the Brüssel terrorists were known to the authorities, the San Bernardino terrorist (the man) was known to the authorities, most the the 9/11 terrorists were known to the authorities....the Orlando terrorist was known to the authorities.

A strange pattern wouldn't you say?

The wife beating alone should have disqualified him from possessing any weapons.

Let me guess. Now that he is dead his wife can come forward and claim domestic violence. But while alive she tolerated his abuse in the name of Islam?

Yes he killed the 50 plus people in the name of Islamic Terrorism, illustrated by him PLEDGING SUPPORT TO ISIS in his phone call to the police and ISIS HQ BRAGGING that he committed the act of Islamic Terrorism for them.

Hello Timmy? Anyone home?

I believe wife #1 reported his domestic abuse .
