I'm glad few people get away with it because I feel that people tend to use it as an easy way out. There's an extremely fine line between any mental disorder. Youre absolutely correct AZTheta, I'm no psychologist, nor am I knowledgeable on these topics. I can only imagine the intricate, complex, and difficult concept to understand. I did make a general statement and I dont think I meant him in particular thinking that his killlings would change anything. It's a tricky way to say it because what is true for one person isn't true for another and its hard not to make generalized statements that apply to this man because we don't know him or the way his mind works. I think what I was getting at is some think that "making an example of someone" will make a change. I cannot apply my belief system to anyone elses because we all are wired differently, I personally feel people like him are can be so easily influenced but influenced in all the wrong ways. It bothers me because my brother is a political science major in his senior year and I cant even begin to describe how he has changed. He has become so critical and judgemental, almost hateful and I really feel like he has been influenced by these professors and these polysci classes.

I know what you mean, but then again, the cases where people claim mental illness also get a lot of media attention. Sorry about your brother. Politics can be very polarizing. It often is hard for people to put those beliefs away at the end of a discussion and just have normal conversations. It happens to the best of us when we believe passionately about something. I think today is a really good reason for all of us to rethink how we frame our political discourse...everyone of us.
