It is true that the facts have not come out yet. The CO theater shooting culprit looks like he has quite genuine mental illness problems; not so sure about this other mass murdered in CT. He just looks like someone in a rage over something his mother said or did to him. None of the various people interviewed about the CT kid killer saw any signs that he would go on this kind of killing spree.

I see most terrorists like those of 911 as evil and not mentally ill. Timothy McVeigh certainly knew what he was doing with the Oklahoma City bombing. Never recall anyone saying that McVeigh was mentally ill.
