interesting post by brother of a schiz0phrenic:
I don’t think this guy is a schizophrenic. You are right, it can onset at any time really. However, this action by this guy appears to be out of the blue. People who knew him would have seen it before his rampage, especially being a student of neuroscience and being around people who are curious about neurology, which is the science that schizophrenia falls under.
From my experience, schizophrenic don’t lash out at random people. They lash out at family and friends. The best way I can describe the violence, there are literally 2 or more worlds in the the mind. One of them being the real world. The mind cannot distinguish between the two. So a loved one or someone who cares trying to help the mind through the issue (whether the person helping knows of the illness or not), can be seen as an enemy in the other world.
So like I would be telling my brother to fight his demons in his mind, those same demons in his mind will be telling him to fight me. The violence is acted out in frustration more than anything. The delusions grow and grow and grow and intertwine and warp and fold into each other and in between worlds even. It takes time to build up those delusions, but once they become entrenched, it is hard to shake them. But they can be untangled and related to the real world. This is what my brother has been able to accomplish.
BTW, I happen to know that A LOT of mental patients “get” Ron Paul.
Anyways, this Holmes guy is a sick puppy
Wonder if this is some made up BS
That makes sense. Whenever someone is trying to cure a schizophrenic, one of the personalities is going to take that as a death threat.
