I don't care if you can simply brush the worth of a man's life aside to settle some misguided sense of vengence, he deserves to live. He is insane, and clearly isn't responsible for his own actions. I hope something inspiring, wonderful, amazing and joyful happens in the life of each and every person who posted to kill this guy, so that maybe we can try to have perspective and respect for the value of life. This is a man who clearly needs help.

I appreciate the cleverness, but I just don't get how anyone can see this with the mental disability view. Someone in the thread has already mentioned when we stopped punishing killers and started giving them free doctor visits. When will killers pay for what they did? Is it OK to kill in the US as long as you weren't entirely sane when you did it? Where is the line between a killer who deserves punishment and a killer who deserves to be treated as "mental victim?"
