Disagree. The cause was demonic possession. There is no legitimate psychological explanation for shooting up a kindergarten class. The last thing we need is to blame this on mental illness and use knee-jerk reactions to lock up anyone that anyone claims is crazy, which is exactly how Hitler and Stalin consolidated power. This country needs a revival. There are millions of “loners” and “socially akward” Americans that wouldn’t harm a fly.
I don’t disagree with you. Look at DeFeo, they guy who murdered his family at Amityville. He was clearly possessed by an evil force. Look at Hitler. Look at Manson. I don’t deny for one minute that evil and demonic forces are at work in this world. In the case of Adam Lanza, it seems to me he had severe mental illness. My point is we need to discuss THIS PART of the equation....otherwise.....the liberals will use these massacres to push their agenda which is of course to take away the right of private citizens to keep and bear arms.
We need better mental health—we once had it—but look around at all the crazies wandering the streets—this isn’t healthy or good for them. This poor loner should have been in an Asylum for the insane—as long ago. He saw spotted as a student. Yes, schools should be better armed as well. We must protect what we value.

Disagree. The other poster was correct (IMO). This is about mental illness.
You pretty much say it yourself... no legitimate psychological explanation. Exactly right. Hence, a psychotic state. Have you ever seen a person in one? I have. Too many times. And what they see and believe cannot be described or explained. My mother (RIP) suffered from bipolar disorder, and became dangerously psychotic when she went off of her meds.
How would you propose dealing with those suffering ‘demonic possession’ as opposed to those who are mentally ill? And how do we tell the difference?
