Even though I think what they did was horribly wrong, I sort of feel sorry for them. I see them as very wounded, and it was their delusional thinking or voices or whatever that made them do what they did. I feel that they should be in jail, but with proper medical treatment, so they can regain some of their sanity. If I ever become a forensic psychologist, I will have to deal with and treat such people. I don’t see their humanity as totally lost, even though what they did was despicable. If only they had been reached before they did their terrible act, then it would have been a win for everyone.

Argghhh, I HATE those chickenshitheads who walk into a building full of unarmed, people they have no beef with, and feel the need to kill/maim or otherwise change their lives for the WORSE.
Oh, and then the pooooor baby turns the gun on themselves to avoid having to see the suffering they have caused.
There is no excuse to hurt others because you are in pain.
I have not a drop of compassion for these cowards, an the only reason I would want to see them alive is to make them suffer by taking a baseball bat and each week, give them something new to suffer about, starting first at their feet, then their knees, then hands, shoulders, back. You get the idea.
Make them a shining example why there would be no more senseless killings.
Again, it is never ok to hurt others just because you hurt- get help or take yourself out, but leave others alone!
People are no longer people to them. It’s like a toddler tearing off the limbs of a doll.

they give the majority of us a bad name, i think we need some more heroes, some champions of mental illness,
we are not all killers and if they think that then they are blinded by there own misguided uneducated blinkered brains.

There is no excuse for mass killings. They need to be put down.

we all know the difference between right and wrong, i see hell below my feet, i don’t go out killing innocent people when my voices tell me too and nor do you guys…we are strong.
put them in jail and throw away the key, three quarters of them are probably not mentally ill they just pretend to be in court…
take care
Many people don’t realize that many perpetrators of mass killings have a certain personality disorder on top of their mental illness. Charles Manson suffered from mild schizophrenia and was a sociopath (Antisocial Personality Disorder)
Society blames the mentally ill because it is easy to blame what they dont understand or fear. Mass murderers are defective people - its not the mental illness alone to be blamed, its more than this

I have caught some crap over this topic before. I was actually at a mass shooting and of course the opinions of the shooter were very negative (naturally). A couple years later, I came to the conclusion that he was a victim too. He displayed plenty of things publcly indicating that something was going to go down and it was all ignored and brushed under a carpet. Had he received help, he may have never done anything. I am not excusing the action… there still needs to be personal accountability. He was guilty of murdering people but he was a victim in his own way too. In nearly every mass shooting I have read up on, there were windows of time prior to the events where the person displayed a need for help and were ignored.

I think that they are exactly like alot of other people, like those feeding people poisonous food every single day, even to children.
Mass killers are bad right? Well, not sometimes, only some are bad, but others are not at all.
Alot of ways to kill in mass quantities, alot of it seems to go ignored though doesn’t it.
Over-population is yet another form of mass murder, it’s like a coin machine in the arcades, you ram so many coins in there others are forced off of the edge.
War for nefarious reasons, alot of people call that heroic.
I don’t like the fact that mentally ill people do that sometimes, in fact i hate it and hope it changes soon, but why not include everyone in it when it’s brought up from now on?

They are the reason that i dont tell anyone that i am sz. The way the media portrays them people think that sz mean “crazy serial killer”. Shows like criminal minds, and the real cases of mentally ill people have given us all a bad name and the uneducated public just follows like a heard of sheep.
As for the mentally ill criminals themselves, i empathize with them. Though what they did may be just terrible, in some cases its not like they wanted to do it.

Proof, I like your posts and have been relating to them, are you new to this forum?
I see mentally ill and mass killers as two completely different characters.
I have all the sympathy in the world for the mentally ill woman who accidently drowned her children in the bath. The poor woman, the poor family. I hope that they are given the help they need.
But Mass murders?.. NO. Ted Bundy KNEW what he was doing…
The Dark side of Seattle… Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgeway (the green river killer)
Ted Bundy worked in the Queen Anne Thriftway and was described by all as a very good and Devout Christian. He raped and killed… well only 14 victims have ever been found… all female and the youngest being 9 years old. The Seattle PD are sure there are more then 14.
Yep, he’s from my neighborhood and regularly attended church and handed out bibles.
Georgeann Hawkins was victim number 8 and a friend of my Aunts. This is a topic that hit my family close to home. Mass killers should be put down. I’m mentally ill, your mentally ill but that doesn’t mean we’ve tortured and maimed and killed a bunch of innocent people.
Gary Ridgeway from Seattle, arrested in my home area of King County… raped and killed over 90 women as he brags. Only 49 have been found and he was brought up and 48 different murder charges. But he came from an unsupportive home and “his parents were mean to him.” he whined in court.
I’m sorry but no, I’m still sad he is still alive.
People wonder why I’d handcuff my kid sister to me? Ted Bundy’s youngest victim was 9… he just snatched her raped her, killed her and dumped her body like rubbish… not even a burial.
An accidental death of one… I feel sorry for the person and the victim… preplanning and killing 10 or 90? NO, it’s time to leave this life… I feel the same about war criminals too. Sorry, but I find i have no sympathy to extend.
The mentally ill mother who accidently drowned her child… I feel sorry and hope for them all. I hope the woman gets some help… But mass killers? No.

@CarolineC…I think a lot of people harbour hateful thoughts (when mentally ill) at some point or another. I know that when I was deeply depressed, I had hateful, vengeful thoughts to one of my bullies. I thought of killing him, but it remained as just thoughts. I suppose I was lucky to have gotten over it and not let the thoughts grow into actions.
But what Im saying is these killers are just demented and through ignorance, their hate grows. I know I feel sorry for that killer at the Batman movie. His life is hell now. He needed someone like you to show him caring long before that shooting happened.
Glad that you can relate =D. Yes i am new, i just started posting a couple days ago.

The BTK killer in Kansas was a church pastor. 
Thank you all for your responses. This has been an interesting conversation.
If it wasn’t for illness the thought that normal mass muder people would be cought faster and faster but you take someone that chose to kill at war by biulding guns?
When you think about it, how could there be such thing as a “normal” serial/mass killer? It’s not fair to tag everyone with the same label now is it?
There needs to be a different name attached to those people who are extremely violent vs those without the want for violence.
Maybe even go so far as a test in schools to predetermine the violent natured ones and treat accordingly…they have all the signs, as those who speak of killers - in hindsight of course.
If we are to reduce stigma about being “mentally ill” we have to determine who is going to be apt to be violent and hurt others and label them differently, then treat them. Simple as that.
I know that when I go out in public, I want to be able to go home at the end of the day too, and not be in a hospital, or dead because someone else couldn’t control themselves.

A demon will tell you to hurt someone. The last thing I’ll do is listen to a demon. I dismiss every voice as trying to deceive me, each vision is a false image. The day one realizes this, then one will recover. I have a life now and will attain my Associate’s Degree soon. Peace
