    All of the time? He allegedly did one murder. Plenty of mentally stable people only do the one. Don't be ridiculous.

    Prosecutors hate this one trick! No murderer is competent to stand trial due to being mentally unstable! What's their diagnosis? Who knows! Who's your expert witness? Some random asshole on lemmy? Perfect!

    I think the assessment of “just crazy enough” to step past that boundary is spot on, but to say that the man is batshit? Not at all.

    This is a man who looked at a complex societal problem and chose a path, very deliberately. He didn’t just snap and walk into a building, guns blazing.

    He also very deliberately limited his damage to one guy. A woman with coffee walked right up to what was happening, he looked right at her, she left, he let her.

    This is not the action of a batshit person.
