A man who describes himself as one of Ybarra's closest friends told The Seattle Times that Ybarra spends his time writing screenplays and novels. "It makes no sense at all,'' said Zack McKinley. "He's super happy and friendly. He's an awesome guy, someone who would never let you down."

Perhaps they suffer from a rare type of an intellectual constipation malady, prefer to ignore reality in favor of their comfort zone. Denying ignorance can get ugly at times.
But KIRO cites police sources that Ybarra was obsessed with the Columbine High School shootings and even visited the site of the April 1999 mass shootings.
The Herald of Everett reports that Ybarra was twice referred by local police for mental health evaluations in October 2010 and October 2012.

it's what it sounds like....unless you were just being vague, and non-specific on purpose...
if it's not what you meant, then perhaps you should clarify..

Here's another for you to add to the list - The number of 'Anti conspiracy' threads being posted on a conspiracy website!!!

Assuming the community is serious about determining the truth behind various events, don't we have a responsibility to post anti-conspiracy threads right alongside the more expected fare? After all, not every unusual light in the sky is an alien spacecraft, not every unusual image or corporate logo is some hidden message by / to the Illuminati, and not every odd-ball happening is the result of black operations, false flags, or mind-control. If we, as a group, are going to question *anything*, we have to question *everything*, whether it's "The Official Story" (tm) or a conspiracy.

I agree, but I do think we should try and weed out the less viable, and/or properly debunked theories; so they aren't associated with the more reasonable of sorts.
Like Alex Jones would get a lot more attention possibly, if he'd relax some of his approaches. That's a metphor for the larger issue.

that was clear....i think...
so is your position then, that anyone who doesn't accept the official version of events, for a given scenario, either is, or appears to be, mentally ill?
