I really don't get it, if you're someone that kills/rape/destroys, while obviously you would have to be all kinds of crazy to do so, I don't get this "Well, they didn't know or were aware of what they were doing at the time" crap. By Liberal logic people like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot etc. were all just "mentally ill" and didn't know what they were doing.
I have not noticed this as an overriding theme. I am guessing you are referring to a specific incident that has happened recently. Could you provide more specifics?

Because mental illness can lead to people committing heinous crimes. For somebody to do the things the people you mention or for somebody to be a serial killer or rapist requires them to be mentally ill, because no sane person could do such a thing. If we had better and more accessible mental healthcare in this country, we could maybe prevent people's mental illness from progressing to the point that it gets to the stage where they are a danger to themselves or to others. Republicans are against that though, instead blaming the problem on demonic influence and the lack of a saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Actually, Republicans have a pattern of using mental illness as an excuse for mass shootings - that's to stave off demands for gun control. They deflect by saying we need more mental health funding, not gun control.
Because liberals don't believe in personal responsibility. Everything needs an excuse why whatever someone did or didn't do, it wasn't their fault. This lack of personal responsibility is the fundamental core of liberal beliefs, not just crime, but everything that needs an excuse. It's society's fault. It's the system's fault. It's big businesses' fault. But it's never the fault of the person who did it.
