Nope its a disorder and there are many individuals with some sociopathic traits that are highly successful they lack the ability to feel empathy or to feel but also don't take pleasure in other's suffering. Upbringing plays a big role.
Terrorists are mentally ill too. Anybody who kills multiple people are mentally ill. Happy now?
We labeled those who plotted the attack and carried it out in Benghazi as terrorists. There is no reason to believe they were mentally ill. Just the opposite. They wanted to stop the running of arms out of their country by a foreign entity just the same as we would.
Isn't that more indicative of mental illness? -many smaller mass shootings involving families, seem to end with victims who weren't at the centre of the conflict.
Would would the cause be as well? -are there anti -christian atheist groups in the US, calling for violent action against christians?
It should not be discounted that he had recently become so obnoxious people started blocking him on their Facebook pages due to his atheist preaching.
It is common that these people who have always been weird, get weirder right before they go off. People start avoiding them. They grab on to some ideology and become extremists about something they are powerless to change.
I think he went off the rails and his ideology was on his mind as well as his personal issues.
No one said atheists are calling for violence (...???) This is a guy who glommed on to something in opposition to the standards in his community. He was a mess of contradictions. No one is blaming the ideology he grabbed on to, it could have been anything.
As a matter of fact there seem to be more critics of religion ("prayer didn't save them") type of thing. It is pretty disturbing.

What was the ideology that he grabbed on to? - atheism isn't an ideology.
Why does Trump blame the Texas mass shooting on mental illness, and mass shootings by others are caused by terrorism? Devin Patrick Kelley was a terrorist. Being white does not mean he wasn't a terrorist. Yet Trump made excuses for his horrible crimes by saying it was a mental health problem. Putting aside the necessity (or not) of gun control measures, why did he not condemn the Texas shooter just as harshly as shooters of other races? Violence should never be tolerated, no matter who the perpetrator is. His comments reminds me of the Charlottesville shootings when he condemned the violence on "many sides."
We have heard about his mental pathology for one thing. If we find out he has ties to the antifa scum, well then, he is a terrorist. If anyone tolerates violence it is the lunatic left. Gun control is not going to happen, period. Whether you like it or not.
The left wing loons have been set back a bit because of DJT and they are spittin' mad. Just like that fool that attacked Rand Paul from behind and broke his ribs. Too bad ole Rand wasn't carrying.
I'm sorry, but if people come in to our home to inflict harm on us, I consider that terrorists. What would you call them.
This thread is about the white American TX mass shooter, what are YOU talking about?
People calling him or any other mass shooters terrorists solely because they’ve committed a mass shooting don’t know what they’re talking about. I haven’t been updated recently on the news but last I heard, the shooter was having issues with his wife and her family, and his MIL was known to attend the church. It may have been some sort of domestic dispute. That is not terrorism. There is no suspected racial or religious motive, and no current terror investigation.

Then again, the OP interjects his racial prejudices into it As far as the differences, one attack occurred against all of us, as Americans, the other occurred because of a domestic situation. Not to hard to separate the two
You claimed that he did not blame Schumer when as you can see, in a tweet where he specifically named Schumer, that he did blame him. As I said, if he didn't bring up a specific name, then he wouldn't have placed blame. But, as we know, since trump can never keep his fat mouth shut, that yes, he did blame Schumer. Period.

And the Vegas shooter? Who did he attack?
