Bullsh*t. They're saying he was schizophrenic. I'm a paranoid schizophrenic, contrary to what many say and hear it's usually a completely manageable disease even without medication. It doesn't, by itself, make a person "criminally insane" and start shooting people. Oh sure, you get thoughts like wouldn't it be somehow "justified" to make other people suffer the same slights and persecution you percieve yourself to have gone through, but it still takes a conscious decision and a will to act before you start hurting people.
I've had "bouts of rage" where I was provoked into getting into fistfights, putting my fist through walls or windows, and in that moment felt helpless as though I was watching someone else do them, and later had no memory of doing them, but that was 100% always in a situation of conflict where I was provoked. Many schizophrenic outbursts have an emotional "trigger" that leads directly to it.
I highly doubt anyone in that theater provoked this guy into what he did. To be found guilty of murder, by law, they need to prove the event was planned in advance and done on purpose, and there seems to be overwhelming evidence to that fact so far. He was NOT "insane". If anything, he was just a punk whose life wasn't going the way he wanted it to, and he decided to pull an "I'll Show Them ALL!" routine.
Waste of a trial. We know he did it, we don't need to know why. Execute him NOW and let justice be done.
