Violent rhetoric definitely influences the mentally ill.

Eat the rich.

What an actual psychopath.

It's truly harrowing there's people out there that would brutally dismember their family because they dared show compassion to other humans

Fucking hell America

He's not a psychopath; he's psychotic. Those are very, very different.

Psychopathy and sociopathy are functionally identical; they're personality disorders where a person largely lacks the capacity for empathy, and hence remorse. Being psychotic means that you're experiencing delusions; you may be hearing voices, or having uncontrollable impulses to do things that would be out of character. His behavior, based on what he's saying, is entirely delusional; he doesn't even have internally consistent logic in his actions.

Belief without proof has killed more people than anything throuought all of earth's history.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago (4 children)

That's a roundabout name for ignorance.

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or information.

What OP was referring to would be delusion.

They have knowledge and information but choose to believe something else.

[–] CuffsOffWilly@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think they were subtly referring to religion but same same.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"Belief without proof" is the literal definition of faith, but it goes hand in hand with ignorance.

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, they're the same.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 2 months ago

that is the conservative way, they are most likely to fall for any scams in general.

No that's malaria but go ahead and show how angry you are that your mommy wouldn't let you bring your PSP to church

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Damn. You're right. You won

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 15 points 2 months ago

The best people.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So is this another instance of this happening, or a story about the same thing that happened a few years back

[–] zdanger@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah, this happened in January of 2024. It sounds like the case is finally in court

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The article is from 3 weeks ago.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Smooth philtrum

Thin upper lip

Small eye openings

Small head

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Perfectly smooth brain

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Momma was a drinker.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yep, Fetal Alcohol Poisoning

I wonder if his mother realizes the bud lites she hammered down while that kid was spawning ended her husbands life decades later? Doubtful

No one takes responsibility for anything anymore

[–] yourebrainwashed@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 months ago

I mean it sure sends a message. Not the one he wanted to send but a message anyway

Wow. The right goes to extremes to prevent democrats from voting.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

So do the Dems to prevent people from voting for left-wing people.

[–] i_ben_fine@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love when an article describing the most batshit stuff ends with "and the judge decided he was competent to stand trial."

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The thing is, he shouldn't have been found competent to stand trial

Dude literally has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and exhibits delusional thinking

But by now I've begun to believe that ALL the judiciary is just an emotions driven precedence generator designed to grind down the most vulnerable and have zero faith that it will continue to support the rule of law
