Thank you for seeing past the end of your nose.

Point was arguing the fact that I ASSUME this bastard had half a clue what he was doing, aka in my book not insane.

If I tell you to shut the fuck up and go away now that you attacked my reply, I have a reason and motivation to take it upon myself to tell you to hit the road. (logical) Now if you signed up for the first time and said “Oh hi, how are you I am new” and then told you to shut the fuck up out of the blue… there isnt much logic behind that to warrant the attack.

see what I am getting at.

> I work in a mental rehabilitation hospital, so yes, I have experience in dealing with people with a wide range of ailments. You are missing the point. Psychosis does not care if you are educated, mentally disabled, average, rich, or poor. It can come at anytime for a number of reasons to any person. **A person that is psychotic has no logic, that does not mean they cant make decisions.** But WHY they make that decision is usually not known, even to them. You are talking about someones mind that at some point, _broke down. He is no longer the same person_. This entire event revolved around the mass killing of innocent people with what excuse for motivation. He had no LOGICAL excuse for going into that theater and killing random people for no reason. That by definition sets him up for an insanity plea. And again ill say, none of his actions can be considered logical and no matter what you or anyone else says, youll forever be assuming why he did what he did, he may not even know.

**No logic and the inability make decissions is called brain dead in my book. Anyone that can do what he did tells me this bastard had a damn good idea of what he was doing in his head (AKA USING LOCIC… DURRR OPEN DOOR, POINT AND SHOOOOT) when he made the decission to do so.**  
  
_Broke down, no longer the same person. So canabilistic tribes in east bumfuck from thousands of years ago to present that kill people and eat them are also broken down??? No, they are using logic their society taught them as a basis for their actions. Yet, some crazy fucker in this country is found killing and eating people is doing the same thing, no thats not society thats going fucking nuts. I am NOT compairing the 2 events here, not at all… I am stating that two of the SAME ACTIONS can be held accountable two totally different ways. Just becaue one group of people see the other side of the story differently doesnt mean someone is “broken”. Broken is broken, broken is and should NOT be an opinion at all._

And the part that pisses me off the most is the red stuff. Insainty plea is there to keep MENTALLY INOCENT people somewhat out of hot water, and most seek treatment after they are dealt with in court. 99% of the people here on Shift dont have any arrests, no mental cases on file, are clean as a wistle… just like this dude aparantly is. YET, if one of us decided to run people over at the lot in a monster truck your saying they should be set up for an insainty plea??? Thats cool, my sister never got a speeding ticket, so the first one she gets she should just say she lost her mind for a minute and get off??? get the fuck outa here.

Not to mention if this dumb bastard gets off on insanity, all the little copy cat bitches watching will have the flood gates of opertunity to do what they want, only to assume they will also spend some time in a padded room.

I am all for people living a fair life. If someone’s brain actually comes apart and one day they do something on a small scale… sure give the insainty card a shot and try to help them. BUT, big scale shit like this guy, fucking hang um. Sure you might hang a few actuall nut jobs, but I would rather see a few “inocent” people get “wrongfully” punished for big ass mistakes in society then someone like this guy walk.
