      I don’t think terrorism was his aim here. I haven’t seen any mention of motive, so I’m assuming mental illness.

        You know, I work with a LOT of extremely mentally ill patients, and the vast majority of them manage not to commit any terrorist actions.

        You know why? Because they’re not fucking terrorists.

        Mental illness doesn’t inherently make one violent and it doesn’t instantly render you completely incapable of self control. Any mental illness that might be present is not an excuse for doing terrorist things.
