Sober advertisements, news PR, social media, constantly feeding the shocking daily or weekly stats until Americans start taking notice.

Michael Bloomberg was touted a while ago.

He seems to have lost interest.

What is that thing he's wearing in the photo? Looks like a bullet proof vest.

Yes, I remember that. Pretty good as I recall.

Mentally ill doesn't mean incapable of reason. Not every mass killer is mentally ill, but many are.

I heard it was anti stab vest.

He would have been forced to wear it for his own safety, most likely.

But I dont think we need to be confusing this particular issue with islamic terrorism. They are two different issues. Terrorists believe they're serving a divine purpose, with heaven and virgins awaiting them. Whether or not they can be considered "mental" is a completely different discussion.

Stick to this story. Everything I've seen from this suggests, loud and clear, that the killer was insane/crazy.

Worn for the massacre or added later?

Just thinking that if there was some likelihood of attack while being led away, then there would be a risk to the officers too.

Yes somewhat bizzare. Lol

To crave multiple killings with people you've never met is psychopathic what ever a person's reasons.

This gentleman had the ideology of starting a race war.

Yes the officers would be at some risk too.

Not at all. It's just when something tragic like this happens, my first instinct isn't to think "kill him". Let's wait and see what the facts are. Seems like a more rational approach, no?

Presumably provided by the cops to keep the accused safe.

In which case we should close the thread and cease commenting now which is kind of what Magnumpi's point was.

Out of curiosity (as I debated this point on a thread some time back) would you still want to see the facts on Lee Rigby's killers?
