The Nazis who implemented the final solution

and the guards at the concentration camps who committed atrocities were psychopaths and sociopaths. They were mentally ill. We still tried them in court. We didn't make excuses for them.

Don't let the republicans drag out the excuse that these shooters are mentally ill. These people need to be tried and imprisoned. They are criminals.

any more than I believe trump and his supporters are normal. The shooters are not normal. A certain number of people in society are sociopaths and psychopaths. The number may be higher than we think.

Normal people do horrible things on a routine basis.

This has always been true.

You are 100% correct.
