As I said though I'm no expert and obviously don't know much about the situation. And don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those 'we need to be tougher on crime' guys and have supported mental illness issues in other threads both for people in need and used in the justice system.

There are bad people out there though. Not everything has to be explained away as, 'it's horrific so he must be ill'.

If it comes out later that the experts and people involved in the case says he's ill then I'll trust that information. For me now however, it just doesn't feel like that. Seems different than other cases we've heard about where mental illness was a factor.

Again I repeat, I'm not an expert and have very few facts about this like all off us. I'm not sure it's fair to call it speculation though, or at least unwarrented speculation, because I'm just siding with the norm or lack of information. We have no clue or proof that he is mentally ill. The act itself, while horrific and unusual, isn't proof of illness.

a stable person doesn't murder 5 people in cold blood regardless of the motive you will have a very hard time convincing me otherwise
