Quote:There is a common misperception amplified by mainstream media and government officials that people “go crazy” or enter some altered state of consciousness and start shooting. Rather, executing murderous plots such as mass shootings at schools, grocery stores, places of worship, and public events requires a mind that is lucid and capable of producing rational thought, planning, and logical cognitive processing.https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/mo...ntally-ill
Terrorist, schmerrorist. Crazy is as crazy does.
