>>24 This is utter bullshit.
I have clinical depression as well as the rest of my family, and when members have killed themselves, that's all they kill- them-fucking-selves.
Now, I was discussing with a friend how disorders in the brain can lay out a foundation for more disorders and make them more susceptible to them. You cannot blame depression for this, because it was only one of the symptoms, and most people with depression do not fucking kill over a hundred people with them. This is more similar to mass shooters who kill a bunch of people, and then afterwards, themselves.
So yes; chances are the pilot who crashed it may have been fucked in the head as well as an asshole.
For example, people diagnosed with Asperger syndrome are not usually defined as violent. Hell, if you ask people they'll define a kid with Asperger syndrome as "sweet" compared with the others.
But Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook mass murder was also diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. Autism advocates campaigned that autism was not so much a mental illness, as a brain development disorder. That may be the case, but that was at age 13, from then in he may have become more susceptible to mental disorders. Later on he was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder that went untreated because of the mother's disapproval. From their, the father believed Adam began showing symptoms of schizophrenia.
THIS would explain the Connecticut shooting and why this particular crash occurred; not simply because of autism- and certainly not simply because of depression. When diagnosed with either, like I said before, you'd more likely be a danger to YOURSELF...than anyone else.
