First off, I wasn't talking about the people who are making jokes about it or laughing about what happened. Who cares about that? I'm talking about SeventhSandwich, who is blaming all of crime on mental illnesses, most of which probably don't exist/are exaggerated and overdiagnosed. Then there is morningstar who thinks that we should just kill everyone that commits a crime, no matter the circumstance. There was also some idiot who was saying that the crowd should just tackle him. You couldn't coordinate that and it probably would have just resulted in more deaths. Admittedly SeventhSandwich was arguing against these idiots, but his logic was broken most of the time.
There were a couple of other idiots with stupid ideas, but they didn't post a ton, so I don't remember their names either.
Okay first of all, what's your authority on the veracity of psychology? A hunch? You are not a psychiatrist nor do I think you have any knowledge of how the insanity defense works and the factors the law system takes into consideration before acquitting someone by reason of insanity. Go get a degree in Psychology and then we'll talk.
Second of all, you are blatantly over exaggerating my perspective on the insanity defense in law. People like Ted Kaczynski, who murdered many people but were evaluated but weren't found to be mentally ill to the point they weren't in control of their decisions, wouldn't be able to use the insanity defense to be acquitted. Furthermore, it doesn't even matter because the insanity defense is used in less than 1% of cases, it only works 27% of the time, and 90% of the acquitted had been diagnosed with a mental illness prior to the crime. Here's his psychological evaluation:

Edit 2: I used this source as the basis of my entire argument which even says that it's used less than 1% of the time in all cases, and you're saying that I'm blaming all crime on mental illnesses? Are you out of your mind Tylale?And don't flatter yourself by thinking I'm chasing you around just to insult you. I know I've insulted you before, because you are an idiot, but I don't do it every post, its always related to the thread, and when was the last time I insulted you anyway?
You weren't even being relevant to the thread when you posted. You just said that controversial issues cause, "forum idiots" to start saying stupid things. This isn't relevant and you deliberately wrote me and morningstar's name to target us. There is no possible way to view this to make it seem relevant to the thread.
I'm not going to bother arguing further on the efficacy of the insanity defense because you are convinced you know everything about mental illnesses and how they are over diagnosed without any experience in the field.
Get a grip dude, you aren't an expert in anything you're talking about.
