I get so tired of the "mentally ill, or pleading insanity" excuse. In this case he might be a loon but I'm sorry, maybe I'm a bit brash but insane or not I believe they are fully aware of what they are doing and it's scary because they believe its acceptable. I still will never understand why these people believe that violence or death will change anything. It solves nothing and the government is going to continue to carry on with their policies, ideology and so forth. I find it extremely sad that anyone would ever have to experience such tragedy. No one deserves that.

Very few people succeed with an insanity defense. Mental illness is not the same as legal insanity either. It is actually possible to be mentally ill and legally sane. They are not the same concept. I'm not a psychiatrist, but many of his rants are delusional with anti-government fixations. This is very suspicious for paranoid schizophrenia. Schizophrenics very rarely are violent, but like normal people, they can be.
