Are we really calling every nutjob lone wolf murder spree a terrorist attack? If so, kinda waters down the word "terrorist", tbqh.
Of course Mike's hyperbole is at least partially to blame for inspiring crazy behavior by some of these people.

If he specifically attacked PP, would you call this terrorist attack, Darrin?
Yes or no.
it's been watered down a long time ago
Saying PP sells dead baby parts and blaming Obama is pretty much mainstream Republican doctrine.
Not to mention the whole "How can we defeat the enemy if we won't even call it by its name" schtick.
White shooter, he must bementally ill
If its ideologically motivated, I suppose. I'm not sure if this guy is sane, tho.
Sometimes it's obvious.White shooter, he must be
Clearly. His whiteness is very obvious here.
No, his crazy ass looking mug is obvious.
Find me a mug shot where the person doesn't look crazy (Sinatra's doesn't count)
So now that his background is out you would consider him sane?White shooter, he must be
Motivated by religion:
Crazy:
(But I agree he's definitely crazy.)
Has he been officially diagnosed with a mental illness?
Not in court.
Yet. A trial would get into that. We have plenty of people in the US walking the streets that would be diagnosed mentally ill but have not been.
You want me to wait and then make the call, or give an opinion?
One is a doctor, the other...?Motivated by religion:
Crazy:
But, both wearing orange
Because he was an angry loner he can't be expected to know right from wrong? Nothing about his background says crazy to me. It says bitter old man who hates people.
Animal cruelty, looking in neighbors windows, mumbling to neighbors incoherently, inability to live next to people despite looking in windows, mumbling about baby parts
I will say he cracked as an early guess. I will leave the legal definition of sane out of it and call him crazy. I'm not a psychiatrist or psychologist but yeah...
What I will not do is imply he is of the same mental state as the bombers/shooters in Paris. This was implied earlier in the thread and it's just not the same type of persons or events at all. It really is not.
So I will go with crazy. They will attempt to try him as sane you can be sure of that.
None of that sounds crazy. He sounds angry and antisocial. I have seen crazy, my uncle had schizophrenia and murdered a guy because he thought he was being ordered to by his radio after he stopped taking his thorazine. I don't buy that crazy people can live off the grid for years. I don't buy he cracked as he's crazy. I hate that people just want to label others as crazy when they commit horrifying acts.
Well we will disagree. And I understand why people don't want them labeled as insane for death penalty purposes (not implying this is your motive)
But to further why I did not like the comparison with the bombers in Paris is I bet you don't find animal cruelty, etc...in their background. These people are assassins, this guy is not IMO. This was really my intention, to dissect the comparison. I don't think it applies.
He was sane enough not to hurt himself and to turn himself in...
I don't want every murderer labeled as insane because it takes personal accountability out of the equation, like there is no such thing as just being a horrible person, as if people consumed by rage can't help it. If this guy was schizophrenic for example, no way he survives this long without some paper trail of prescriptions and ins utionalization. The media would be all over it by now.
