yes he is. why? because it's my opinion. i'm sure after a while the enemy looks the same as the civilians, so you get to the point where you're not sure who the enemy is, but mental illness is no excuse for murder. if it was just mental illness, he would have stopped at one house.

Again... i'm guessing you have no actual expeirence or schooling in mental illnesses.

no but my grandfather who does agrees with me. srry.

In that case.... he should go back to school... because he wasn't paying much attention.

Cause you know... there are tons of examples on record or people with mental illnesses killing multiple people in multiple locations in a short period of time.

In fact....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spree_killer#List_of_spree_killings

hmmmmmmmmmm. it's opinion plan and simple. my grandfather is retired from working with crazy people, and the military so i'm sure he's more qualified then you.

noobie did not ask for an educated guess so back off. i'm not much for debates or discussion these days so this conversation was pointless on your part but thanks for your logical opinion i guess.

i got loads of respect aand have agreed with you in the past, but this isn't a conversation you can win, cause there isn't one to be had.

If that's really your grandfather's opinion then it's a good thing he is retiring.  I'm guessing you've just completely misunderstood what he's said though.

There is specific evidence to the contrary of such opinion, that has been presented.  I would ask him, "If the mentally ill aren't spree killers, why are most spree killers who don't comit suicide committed in mental institutions."

Your defense now seems to boil down to "Well he didn't ask for an informed opinion."

Which is like saying if someone asks you "Is the world round" and you say "No the world is flat" then there is no way to prove you wrong, because well... they didn't ask you "give a correct opinion of if the world is round or not."

 

I mean... specific demonstratable facts.  You are right in that there isn't a conversation to be had, but that's only because I am demonstratably correct.  People with mental illnesses do go on spree killings, therefore that it was a spree killing does not rule out mental illness.  It's simple fact.
