What is needed is some common sense and practical solutions to dealing with those who use violence to send a message. A terrorist does this and very few terrorists in my mind are mentally ill.
You also might have an extremely dysfunctional family involved or maybe even one where the only real members are a mother and her son or perhaps a grandfather and his grandson. The traditional family has changed a great deal over the last fifty years or so.

I think you misunderstand my post. I think people who use violence should be locked up and removed from society "to send a message".
What I'm saying above is that society has learned to LOOK THE OTHER WAY AND IGNORE kids showing signs of violent behavior and macabre thinking, and the denial is aided by faculty, physicians, courts, and counseling professionals who
minimize what they are seeing.
