[quote=FlBred]There is a HUGE oversight on the point here.......Its not whether he is a wrestler on roids, a CEO on cocaine or a ditch dgger who drinks a 12 pack a day......the fact of the matter is that an innnocent wife and son were taken by the one person in the world who is supposed to protect, love and care for them no matter what. There was obviously something extremely wrong and unfortunately innocent people got caught in the middle......Mental illness does not discriminate against occupation and nationality!![/QUOTE]

I would think mental illness most definitely does 'discriminate' against occupation.

Last time I checked people of all walks of life suffer from mental illness.

Yes, of course. I would expect that some occupations correlate far higher than others to incidence of MI.

Mental illness is too often used as an excuse. Could it be some humans are just plain evil?

Agreed. But what explains the suddeness of it? If someone is evil in this manner wouldnt it have reared its head a along time ago?

It certainly is scary when you see other stories like this of seemingly normal people who just 'snapped' one day.

Did he all of a sudden become mentally ill? Fact is some need the excuse of mental illness so as not to cast judgement. We now all know he was Canadian so medical coverage obviously was not the problem.

I am not sure what his behavior had been like, obviously only those real close to him knew what demons he was fighting. I am by no mean a doctor. Evil? Mentally ill? We may never know, but whatever it was sure is ashame!

Whatever made what happen occur, it's very sad. It's difficult to imagine what could lead a man to do what he did.
