June 14, 201610 yr @oldgrappler What % of people who commit mass murders are mentally ill? Don't know the answer but I'm guessing it is very high. I think it's pretty close to 100%.
June 14, 201610 yr She could be charged. She needs to be. Throw her in prison for whatever the maximum allows. All she had to do was make a simple phone call.

June 14, 201610 yr @oldgrappler What % of people who commit mass murders are mentally ill? Don't know the answer but I'm guessing it is very high. I believe this depends on what definition of what specific illness you are referring to. At any given time, many people may the fit the definition of a number of diagnoses. I do not believe that this incident would fit most definitions in the DSM V.
June 14, 201610 yr ISIS has taken credit for the terrorist act in France, earlier today. 2 French police officers were stabbed to death in their home, in front of their 3 year old child. Stabbed. With a knife. Stabbed. Evil will find a way.
June 14, 201610 yr I'm seeing the tweets from this press conference with victims and doctors. Shooter repeatedly went back and shot people over and over to make sure they were dead. Doctors hinting that death toll may rise due to condition of some of the patients.

June 14, 201610 yr How many rounds did he get off? Do they have a count yet? I'll let somebody else try to answer that. I did not know. This press conference was with victims and doctors.
June 14, 201610 yr A former police academy classmate says the shooter was gay. Another report says he has a profile on a gay dating site. Saw where he used a gay dating app and his ex wife also says he was gay.
June 14, 201610 yr @oldgrappler What % of people who commit mass murders are mentally ill? Don't know the answer but I'm guessing it is very high. This is a false question dealing with probability. The point is very few mentally ill people commit this kind of crime--less than 1% perhaps. So then we should takeaway all mentally ill people's constitutional rights and rights to confidentiality with their doctor. Abuse of power! What percentage of people who rape women are men? So all men should be castrated. What percentage of those who kill another through drunk driving are human? So we ban ALL humans from driving. These examples I gave are better analogies to your question, "What percent of people who commit mass murder are mentally ill?" than that question is to the one I asked, "What percentage of mentally ill people become mass murderers?" You can twist it, but it isn't the same question and it isn't honest analysis.
