Most people were running or hiding, this guy was "allegedly" moving towards the danger and trying to help. What exactly is your definition of a hero?
I don't think I ever answered your question around the first assumption in your quote. So you're just assuming something about me, and then judging me for it. It's possible I was operating under a false memory that the CTC shooter was mentally ill, and brought that with me into the thread. But I notice you didn't entertain that possibility, instead going with what looks like an assumption along the lines of "this liberal gun control douche is a soft-hearted sucker who doesn't know mental illness" instead.
a really good friend of mine, growing up, showed no signs of being mentally ill as a kid. He was the nicest person I've ever met, never got in a fight never hurt anyone, never said a bad thing about ANYONE. When he was about 23, he had a sudden change in behavior. He was/is schizophrenic, and all the sudden started talking to people who weren't there, could predict the future and said he saw demons who warned him of impending doom. He didn't exhibit any of those signs when he was a young man, and even looking back through educated eyes (and talking to others) he didn't seem like someone who would see demons or talk to people who weren't there. Mental illness is a strange thing.
John McClane. He would have stopped the killer. I saw it in a movie once, so that is what a hero is and does.
Triggers happen for people at different times. Schizophrenia shows signs in a person during their early 20's. It's one mental illness out of many.
Again, probably. Unless you're calling being depressed "insane", I guess, which seems to be where you're going with this.
So now that we know sane people go on mass shootings, anyone who owns a gun could become the CTC killer. I move we ban guns to prevent the sane from killing us all.
