But yeah, the vast majority of mentally ill people don't go on shooting sprees, so mental illness is certainly not an excuse for committing crimes. As an explanation, it is only a very small part of the overall story. Those who are ill still have an obligation to control their illness and prevent it from hurting others, and we certainly should strongly punish those who are unwilling or unable to.
You're a monster. A clueless monster.
Yeah.. Nym.. are you sure that's what you meant? That we should be 'strongly 'punishing people who commit crimes because they can't help themselves?
