After all.... nearly every single mass shooting has been by someone know to be or diagnosed with mental illness issues.


Or some of them are just plain evil.

I don't believe like that anymore. Everyone is a product of their upbringing and environment. What the hell is "evil" anyway? A willingness to kill in order to save lives? Because that is apparently what this guy thought he was doing. And this kind of philosophy is driven by the talking heads over in the Right Wing media. Sowing hatred and fear will get just about anyone to do just about anything. Just watch how so many of then tweet support for the guy, lauding him as a hero. These aren't trolls either. These are devout Republicans, many of whom are not in any sense "mentally ill," but see this act of terror as justified.

Right Wing Media is largely responsible for this domestic act of terrorism. Among the dead was a father of two children and Iraq war veteran, a mother of two children, and a campus police officer.

The idiots in the Right Wing media propagating these lies and myths about Planned Parenthood are to blame for this. Of course, the excuse makers like subgenius will fall back on the usual platitude about "mental illness" but the fact is this guy targeted Planned Parentood because he was lied to and the folks running the Right Wing propaganda machine are in the business of driving fear and hatred into the souls of the ignorant who are easily persuaded.

Iraq war veteran, mother of 2 were Planned Parenthood attack victims

A rather pedestrian, nay subpedestrian question. The overuse of exclamation points is just the cherry on top.
