Re: Mass shootings and The Mentally Ill

(Anonymous) 2012-12-19 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I think that the variety of evil carried out in the Holocaust was so completely different in nature - the planned, organized, long-term, pervasive, massive in scale, versus the immediate and unplanned nature of the Sandy Hook killings - that it's not a good analogy. Sane, though incredibly thoughtless and immoral, people could be involved in the Holocaust because the nature of the Holocaust made it possible for them to be misled into thinking it was right, or at least not thinking it was wrong; I cannot see any possible way for someone to say that it was someone with a sane mind who committed the Sandy Hook killings.

I mean, I do agree that it's not helpful to resolve "evil" to "mentally ill" in general, but in this case and in pretty much all cases of workplace / school massacre I think that something which could be addressed by the mental health system is involved.
