I recognize mental illness exists, I recognize it needs to be discussed, and I recognize it is an issue. But it is getting a little tiring that the second mental illness is introduced, people are absolved of any responsibility for their actions. And then the "Well it's societies fault, not Cptn. Mass Murder because we don't talk enough. And we can't call it murder because a voice in his head or some mental condition told him to do it. And the real victim is the pilot not the 150 other people and their families."

You can still be a murdering POS with mental illness, the two things aren't mutually exclusive. We don't know what his medical condition is, or if it was even mental illness. But if you are smart enough, and skilled enough and made it far enough along to pilot a commercial airliner, there has to a voice of reason in your head that tells you not to do something like this, and ignoring it makes your a murderous SOB.
