Let us stop making excuses for EVIL. Everyone has some form of mental illness. If you read the DSM-IV-TR you will find that everyone you know, including yourself could be diagnosed with one or more mental disorders.
This POS was not just mentally disturbed. He was spiritually disturbed. He lacked the thing that makes us all humans. He lacked a heart (in the spiritual sense of the word.)
There are evil people in this world. Let’s call them what they are and deal with it. No more excuses because they had a bad childhood or they have some vitamin deficiency or chemical imbalance. Those things cause problems, but it takes something extra to make a monster. It takes an evil soul.
Not every Nazi who gassed Jewish Children was suffering from a deprived childhood or vitamin deficiency. They killed the children because they had given themselves over to principalities and powers; the rulers of the darkness of this world and to spiritual wickedness in high places.
This cannot be explained naturally except that every one of us has within us a fallen spiritual nature and is ultimately capable of such evil if we surrender our souls to those evil spiritual powers.
We all have the capacity for evil. It is something we must wrestle against and if we surrender to it, there is no excuse simply because we had some chemical imbalance or bad childhood. You have to play the cards you are dealt in this world and admittedly for some it is easier to stay on the narrow road. But there is no legitimate excuse for leaving the road and fully embracing dark spiritual forces.
I am convinced that is the road this POS chose to travel. May he burn in Hell.
You said it brother.
This POS was evil.
He killed 20 innocent children and never even blinked.
And What if this man has Schizofrenia? You are so quick to judge this person a monster, Something your religion forbids you to do by the way. If he had Asperger’s then there is a good chance he also had Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a physical brain disorder. It is not something you get from a bad childhood. People with the disorder can no more control it than they can getting MS or Alzheimer’s.
I myself could have developed it. I have an Autism spectrum disorder and when I was 20 years old I had a reaction to penicillin that caused me to experience the symptoms of Schizophrenia for about 48 hours. Until the medicine wore off I had conversations with the grim reaper in my bedroom and objects around the room were talking to me and telling me to kill people and that if I drove that people would try to run me off the road with their cars. It was not fun. Thankfully the effect wore off and needless to say I have not ever taken that antibiotic again.
So you should Obey your god Christian and not judge this man. At least wait until you have the facts.
I could not have said it better myself and I agree with you completely.
Evil does not discriminate. It is always among us. Yesterday, Newtown, CT experienced it in full force.
My prayers go to those whose lives have been permanently changed. May God bless all of those who were murdered yesterday. Keep them in His loving arms.
How many more acts of violence will take place before we realize that there is a solution?
