[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 568687"] The only thing I've read on it is the latest from CNN.com, and it mentions nothing about mental illness whatsoever, just that they're trying to figure out why he did it. So sad and infuriating at the same time that someone would do something like this to helpless children. ETA: If you want to go into the psychology of blade vs. gun for killing, blades are personal, close in weapons. Guns not only allow physical, but also emotional distance as well as a higher body count (often, not always, as a successful serial killer could tell you). A blade is for when you personally want to absolutely destroy someone on a very personal level and you want to do it very personally. Yes, I spent much of my youth and college learning immersed in such things. [/QUOTE]
