completely agree.
Anyone saying the shooter was “out of his mind” is casting a scapegoat. Once someone pushes aside morals when they decide to take someone’s life in such a caculated way they made their mind up ahead of time and carryed out their intentions.
Tony decides to rip down a quiet public road at 190mph in a car. While everyone around him thinks hes “nuts”, he really isnt, hes just an asshole. He bought the car, knew what it could do, and tried it. preconcieved intentions. No different than this guy buying guns, armor, tear gas, IED’s, and all the other shit he had, coming up with a plan, and carying it out. Neither of my examples are looney toons, they are people that didnt give a shit about anyone around them and did what they decided they wanted to do.
