He told law enforcement officials he had visited a storage area the day before and picked up a bottle of bleach

That sounds way too premeditated to be explained by simple mental illness.

After the past year, I can believe it.

I hope you never have to deal with a family member with paranoid schizophrenia.

Ah, you think it was complex mental illness?

In all seriousness though, moving a bottle of bleach the day before is still within the capability of someone experiencing an acute mental illness.

Of course, it's pure speculation either way at this point.

I'd argue that premeditating something like this is a rather strong indicator of some form of mental illness.

Why would you assume he is mentally ill? I didn't see that mentioned in the article.

[–] Hegar@kbin.social 11 points 6 months ago

Firstly, I don't read any assumption of mental illness in that comment - if anything the comment is rejecting mental illness. But given that there's no mention of any motive - and the difficulty in even thinking of one - mental illness is very reasonable to consider as a possibility.
