Do you think any of the far-right trolls who inhabit SW might go on one day to become mass-shooters ?

@SW-User I've seen no evidence to suggest that the shooter in NZ was mentally ill. He was just a hate-filled white supremacist who spent his life on the internet feeding his prejudices. Go through this thread and others on the same subject and you will find others just like him. Who knows what makes them pick up a gun ? Although something a lot of them do have in common is a penchant for them.

@RodionRomanovitch I think the evidence that something went really wrong in his mind was the massacre. He killed innocent people just because he didn't like their religion/skin color/political believes. It's insane. This kind of hate is a result of some kind of mental defect. IMHO.

Just because I hate my neighbor air hammering his sidewalk early Saturday morning I don't go and kill him. Why? Because I know that it's not an option. Why? Because I'm mentally healthy? I think. ;)

@SW-User When the autocrat says that sidewalk hammerers are subhuman and deserve to die, you'd probably think differently.

@daisymay nope. You know why? Because I have my own opinion, which is totally different.

@SW-User yes, exactly! The far right ARE mentally ill

@SW-User Nah, since you can't say for sure in that hypothetical, I'm going with the likelihood of sidewalk hammerer murders increasing when the autocrat calls them subhuman and deserving of death.

@daisymay I think you don't get my point... You have to have some defect if you kill people just because the autocrat tell you that they don't deserve to live. If you are living in the western world which means that the Greco-Roman heritage is yours too... then you had to know, feel and understand that killing people is bad. No matter what.

@SW-User There are multiple examples that disprove that point. Let's start with an easy one. Did you know that there are people who feel it is moral and just to murder doctors who have performed abortions?

@daisymay please don't be demagogic. Doctors who perform abortion (without medical reason) has nothing common with this guy who killed dozens of people without reason.

@SW-User they have a deep mental illness in common

@SW-User I wasn't comparing abortion doctors to the shooter, chief. I was comparing people that feel it is moral and just to murder abortion doctors to the shooter.

Would you care to try again?
