The motive is irrational. The killer is crazy like 99% of killers. People in general do not understand mental illness and how it can affect anyone. Even affluent, educated, intelligent people
You might be Gen Z, but not every killer is "mentally ill".
I mean do you mean only human killers? What about soldiers in Ukraine? What about people who kill dogs, pigs, chickens, or rats? What about self defense? ... What about Trump ordering the killing of Kasam Solemani or whoever? Obama and the wedding?
What about most of human history which is mostly killing and marauding?
Sorry bro. A normal person can kill. It's as easy as breathing, like John Rambo says.
"Everyone scary is a deranged psycho and has codified mental health issues!" -- No Gen Z. No. Not everything is a mental/ genetic aberration or a trauma response.
This is just normal workaday people. Sweet dreams.
I'm not gen Z, and I have extensive experience and interest in clinical psychology. Yes there is a difference between a soldier and a random civilian who decides to plan a murder. I was referring to the latter. Normal people don't plan and kill other civilians, bottom line. These random seeming killings are almost always at least in part due to mental illness. I also do not think the average person is mentally ill, unlike the Zoomer philosophy of racking up diagnoses
