Yes sir that fully determines every single fact in the case, including MI5 surveillance that failed to stop such an attack, and the fact that they just so happened to know he was a soldier!!!
You cleared up everything that the public have been wondering!!!
How silly of me to consider that their actions in the aftermath doesn't apply to regular people instead of those who suffer from "insanity"...
Because it's totally normal and rational to sit around making videos of such an attack isn't it!!!
That happen every day doesn't it!!!
To wonder if they were "compos mentis" is unrealistic because every murder case to ever happen has had such characteristics haven't they!!!
To think they may have been "insane" is just plucking nonsense out of thin air with no statistics to back this up!!!
Peace.

Can someone be a martyr in their own eyes?
That seems nonsensical to the original definition if the word!

I wouldn't disagree with you completely pal.
But you are limiting "insane" to "lone schizophrenic on a hallucinogenic rampage"... Which is not fair to be honest!
I have undifferentiated schizophrenia, the most unpredictable type, and I can definitely determine right from wrong, nor have I even been on hallucinogenic rampages!!!

A quick look at this case shows clear mental instability, whether they knew right or wrong is irrelevant completely!
CharlieSpeirs
But I don't think any negligence if proven is irrelevant to the case if in consideration it could have all been prevented.

Also Hitler knew what he was doing, and that was wholly premeditated, but he was clearly insane!

I appreciate that. Didn't want to sound like an almighty jerk either I apologise if it had a sense of know-it-all-ness as I do understand some schizophrenics are clearly detached from reality.
I jumped to a conclusion and apologise for getting ahead of myself.

I guess I was a little vague in my perceptions...
My point is does it seem like a sound mind would hang about to record and transcript such a heinous crime!!!
CharlieSpeirs
To me that would be a clear case of some sort of mental health lapse, whether drastic or not should still be considered.
I agree fully they would have been evaluated and if the defense didn't feel it necessary to fight for diminished responsibility then chances are I am 100% wrong...
CharlieSpeirs
but maybe a failed attemp at such a plea would have resulted in a much longer sentence much like a failed "not guilty" plea would!

It's the frenzy of the media circus, mob mentality that takes over that makes me so agitated towards most cases that involve terrorism!
Peace.
