    I feel that everyone should resist the urge to act like psychics or psychologists right now. We know far too little at this point to speculate on this kids state of mind before or during the shooting.

    As we learn more, perhaps that will change, but - and this is the terrible truth - we may never know. and we’re ALL going to have to learn to process and move on from this either way.

      There is no need to bring psychology here at all.

      The kid was, and has been, the only and true patriotic hero of the entire country. He should be applauded, not tiptoed around to call him insane or crazy, otherwise, you’re pretty much calling every single american ancestor that died for 4th of July America’s independence a mentally ill bastard too, but they’re not different at all.

      People should stop acting like: If one single person did it, it’s mental illness. If a mob or big group of people did it, it’s terrorism, unless they win…

        how did you read me saying, “I feel that everyone should resist the urge to act like … psychologists,” and think i was in disagreement?

        you’re pretty much calling every single american ancestor that died for 4th of July America’s independence a mentally ill

        i most certainly did nothing of the sort

        my point is that we know so very little factual information about this kid that nobody can do more than to speculate or guess as to his actual motivations, so we shouldn’t until we learn sufficient facts to draw a reasonable, logical conclusion.
