It's similar to school shooters in America, mental illness gets bandied around a lot, especially if they're white. Are they mentally sound and perfectly happy, no, but that does a disservice to the millions of people suffering from various mental illness problems that don't do shit like this and the people suffering from severe issues or episodes where they may well be a danger to themselves and others. Is poor mental health a contributing factor to stuff like this? Almost certainly, it may be the straw that broke the camels back, but it's not the root cause.
