Why is it ok to insult all the truly mentally ill people in the world by suggesting that rishus and evil can only be perpetrated by mentally ill people? Why is it so hard to accept that 100% healthy individuals are more than capable of doing the most horrendous acts of violence?
I also see no reason to blame tv or movies for planting the seeds of violence in his or anyone’s mind to do things like this. Human beings have been known to commit acts of unspeakable violence waaaay before tv and movies. Further more, if tv and movies is in fact a precursor for violence, then folks like Quentin Tarantino and all the other producers and directors of action and scary films should be killing and hurting everyone and there’s no record of this. Did the Nazis learn to be violent and cruel from TV & movies? Were all the Nazis mentally ill people?
Each one of us has the human capacity to do horrible acts of violence if we allow ourselves to. On the other hand as humans we also have the exquisite power to perform equally powerful acts of kindness and goodness.
Each day we all live with tests and we can go either way. Live as a hero or a villain, it’s up to you.
