Active Shooter Situation at Ohio State

[abaris]

That really makes me angry. Someone comes here as a refugee and we take him in (as we should), but then he turns around and tries to kill our people. I mean, really? What a complete idiot.

Why does it make you more angry than the Charleston attacker, who was a homegrown rightwing nutter? As so many before him. Among them the Bundy bunch, who got away with - not actually killing someone - but occupying government facilities while voicing death threats?

We cannot understand the state of mind he was in at that time. We are always quick to judge and consider ourselves above that which others do, but the mind is as fragile as it is strong. He might have simply snapped for a very valid reason.

Seriously? Come on, man! He drove his car into a crowd, then he got out and sliced up eight people with a large knife. He was determined to kill someone. What's to understand? There's no validity to that.

A sane mind does that?

How much do you know of psychology?

At least the US actually kills the perpetrators of these attacks. Lee Rigby, an off-duty British soldier, was hacked to death with meat cleavers. The two Islamic savages who murdered him were only wounded by police. Now they live a life of comfort in prison, being fed three meals a day and a bed to sleep in with a roof over their heads - something that some law-abiding citizens can't afford.

Terrorists should be put down like the animals they are.

Bullshit. He was sane enough to plan out his attempt to murder people. Stop the killer first. Understand it later.

Oh, you have special intel that allows us to know that he "planned" what he did? Please, by all means, share your secret.

Otherwise, stop bullshitting us with your assumptions.

And the cops show up and you're there holding a gun.  Who do you think the cops are gonna shoot?

Some black guy, I imagine...

...or, the guy with a large knife who's in the process of hacking up eight people.

Insane doesn't mean stupid or incapable of a degree of rational thought

Well, the killer's been stopped. How long do you want to wait?

Also, how does one's sanity affect the ability to plan something? You don't think mentally ill people are capable of making a plan? And how do you even know this was planned, and not a sudden, spontaneous urge to kill?

 Or not as has happened before
