You people amaze me. Trying to say this guy is "right wing" or "Christian" is simply stupid. Whether left or right, once a person steps this deep into extremism, they are an extremist, nothing less, nothing more.
I have seen some even say this killer has no mental issues. Let's run a simple test. People who are not ****ed up in the head don't kill nearly a hundred people. Is it an excuse for what he did? Of course not.
I see the police being criticized as well. The country has 40 murders a year. I doubt they have mass murders annually. I also doubt that the entire police force is involved in those 40 murders. The police more than likely had no idea of what to do or how to start doing it.
Seriously people, this is a tragedy brought on by what looks to be a single deranged man. Sure, in the mind of the murderer this was politically motivated, but those of us who are a tad more sane need not grab that morsel and start using it to bash each over the head with ideology, lest we do end up that insane.
I get your point, but I don't buy the whole "they must be deranged or crazy". Most of the times, these people are very rational. The problem is that they are sociopaths, lacking empathy and compassion. That condition is, IMO, far more common than most people realize
We have people who made millions while destroying the economy, which threw millions out of work and into poverty. Some have lost their lives and many have even lost their lives. Thousands die every year from lack of health care, and a huge segment of the population is just fine with that.
The "mental issue" this man has is not uncommon; He merely took it to the extreme.
