People go to war. They aren't disturbed. They go to war for reasons. They are completely rational. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Until a professional has diagnosed this guy with psychological problems, he's just a terrorist as far as I'm concerned. He chose to go to war. He's absolutely responsible for his actions. Don't try to blame someone else for indoctrinating him. Don't try to blame mental illness. Since all of us here agree that he's not a freedom fighter, then he's just a terrorist.
No, they do not.
Humans go to war just like other mammals group and compete against each other, but we are not talking about war.
Sociopaths and psychopaths can be quite sane, and disturbed at the same time. It is still a form of mental defect.
No, he did not choose to go to war. He most likely had a lifetime of his own failures and was looking to make himself important and famous. He chose to look for an excuse to make everyone as miserable as he was You don't need a religion to do that. Dillon Harris and Eric Clibold(sp) the Colombine killers were quite sane, not terrorists, but were disturbed and looking to make a mark.
He is a terrorist for sure, but the same sense of self importance and wanting to make a mark, is the same thing that the Colimbine killers did.
The Boston Bomber brothers also "went to war". But the truth really was the older brother was blaming his loss of his kick boxing licence on society, when the truth was he lost it for domestic abuse. You can argue that he hid behind religion as an excuse, so in that sense he was a terrorist. But the real reason he did it was because he was a abuser who got caught and lost his ability to earn a living in that sport.
I highly suspect this guy in NZ simply had a string of failures in his life, and used clung to white nationalism because those bigots made him feel important.
It still takes a disturbed person to murder anyone for any reason outside self defense.
He thought that "the west is witnessing a new Muslim expansion via immigration"; aka an invasion, war:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/201...9d101862b5
Quote:Various historical references to conflicts involving Muslims are also written on weaponry, including the name Charles Martel.
White supremacists credit Martel “with saving Europe by defeating an invading Muslim force at the Battle of Tours in 734,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors such groups.
His weapons were decorated with anti-Muslim writings; the man was a racist, xenophobic bitch who thought that he's a European crusader living in the 1400s.
I bet he had a knight fetish.
This is a sane asshole. This is an extreme rightist, we know another copy from him in America's White House right now with a name ends with Trump.
This totally sane, racist garbage and his likes were even anticipated in the various reports in the past years about the scary rise of the right wing.
