He had friends. There is even a case where he describes where he describes a kid he calls John Jo Glen as one of the popular kids- then he goes on to be good friends with that kid for several years. In 8th grade, when his condition perhaps develop, he went out of his way to offend his peers. He is delusionally paranoid. If his paranoia about being liked is causing him to be dislike, that isn't the same thing. Also, he had severe arrested development. By the time he is 18, he has the emotional maturity of a grade schooler.
In his own words, he was friendless from age 14 on.
And there is no native speaker of English in all of time or eternity who could possibly interpret my earlier post as calling you a Nazi sympathizer. Or an anti-Semite!
My point is and was that murder motivated by racial and gender hatred can’t be automatically attributed to “mental illness,” because it’s so uncanny that it makes us feel better to chalk it up to looney-tunes. Because the alternative, that evil might exist in this world, is simply beyond our ken.
I’m not afraid or too smart to call evil, evil. The Nazis were totally in control of their faculties, and they were evil murderers. The 9/11 hijackers were in control of their faculties and they were evil murderers.
This kid didn’t hear voices or see white rabbits. He said on paper and on tape what he was going to do and why. He was evil.
And I’m not calling you an Islamo fascist sympathizer.
