But most people will have this guy down as mentally Ill because they refuse to believe a terrorist can be anything but a Muslim.

Yup. People like him will use any excuse. And yes, the excuses come thick and fast for white terrorists. Half the time, the news won't even use the word terrorist, and its just 'mentally ill man'

Oh yeah, played a part I understand. But many, all over are trying to make out it was someone elses fault basically, that he was lead by others, they corrupted his mind, etc etc. The mentally ill excuse is coming up a lot, like it always is when its a white terrorist. The excuses start almost immediately, placing blame elsewhere. Not suggesting thats what you were doing, but it..kind of gets my back up when people say it was 'someone/something elses fault'..because of this. Some things may well have influenced him a bit, even made him think that many would agree with what he did (and lets be honest, some ****ing will ) but the actual fault, lies with this ****ing violent bigoted idiot.
