Trumble 05/18/22 7:07:25 PM #8:	Both, quite possibly in a way where the two combined were more severe than the sum of their parts. There are many mentally ill people who are not racist; there are many racists who don't act on it beyond maybe saying shitty things. Ignoring either half simply to downplay one or upplay the other may be convenient for one's ego, but it's irresponsible when it comes to understanding what leads to this kind of crap happening. --- Trumble 7 8700X \| 32GB DDR-Trumble RAM \| 512GB TSD (Trumble-State Drive) \| Trumble 4080 Tr <cite>Trumble posted [p:965136952] in Which fact...

I'd argue that the unbridled avarice of most of those CEOs at the cost of society and the planet and the sociopathic traits needed to rise to that position constitute a form of mental illness.

That said, this shooter definitely polluted his mind with the most vile racism and took it to the extreme. What I was getting at was that racism was what the cause was. In somuch that while certain people with extreme mental disabilities like schizophrenia or a significant learning difficulty, they aren't more easily manipulated than the average person. Yes, you can say having a depressed man who can't get a girlfriend is more likely to listen to a group condemnng women but just as someone who does find social anxiety very difficult can learn to adapt and overcome, so can a person who grew up thinking that people of other races are 'bad'. Mental illness may very well have made it 'easier' for racists to convince him of it being non-white people but, it was the believe that non-white people are lesser was the primary cause. --- they be bumpin they be rulin <cite>RealityDose posted [p:965137192] in Which fact...

RamboCell29 05/18/22 7:44:43 PM #17:	Out of those two options probably racism. But clearly the man was mentally ill. What contributed most though was the fact this asshat made threatening comments at his school less than a year ago but somehow didn't get red flagged under NY state law. If you are going to have red flag laws, which I have my concerns with in general, at least enfore the law to prevent this from occuring. --- Ron DeSantis/Tim Scott 2024 <cite>RamboCell29 posted [p:965137905] in Which fact...
