Welcome back to WP, Ban-Dodger

Long time no see.

Yep.

And I am sure that Dylan Roof himself is a shapeshifting Reptoid from Arcturus.

But the next time they fire up the atom smasher at Cern the Mandella Effect will kick in,and we will all be in that parallel universe in which this whole church murder thing never happened!

The "screening" for schizophrenia that medical professionals have done with me, and continue to do, consists of just a few questions. To wit:

1. Are you hearing voices?
2. Are you seeing things that aren't there?
3. Are you feeling suicidal or homicidal?

To be fair, the medical professionals don't use the word "schizophrenia", but that's what it pretty much alludes to.

And here's another thing: psychiatrists are so over-burdened with work that they can't prioritize their clients. There are a few reasons for this:

1. There are just too many psych patients and not enough doctors.
2. Most psych patients just don't have the funds for more than a few days of intensive inpatient treatment.
3. Some psych patients cycle between psychotic episodes so quickly that, when they're at their worst, that period may not always be on display.

I was thinking about Esteban Santiago, the PTSD ex-military young man who killed five people at a Florida airport. In his case, he was treated for his PTSD for a grand total of FOUR DAYS, then released by the hospital, only to surface days later to carry out his volatile, aberrant act.

I can't help thinking there are MANY, MANY people out there who show signs of psychosis, reach out for help in the best way they know how, then one of two things happen - they go on a killing spree or kill themselves. I WONDER if Dylann Roof exhibited signs that he WANTED to stop his racist views but just didn't know how. Just saying.

Lock him up for life, execute him; I don't care, as long as he is off the street. Evil or mentally ill, it doesn't matter; his crimes are inexcusable.

Are there any sources out there saying that Dylann was autistic or had any mental illnesses? I looked him up and couldn't find any articles saying he had any disorders. So for now people saying he is mentally ill or has autism are just hearsay and just an opinion.

I'm opposed to the death penalty but gosh is it hard to feel sorry for Dylann Roof. They brought the whole situation down on themself.

I think that the US state where he is has only two choices, either they go ahead with the death penalty or he has to spend the rest of his life in jail.

After what he did I think that he can not be trusted to be at large, he might either try to do it again or he might incite or encourage others to do likewise. I do not think that he was suffering from some mental illness which compelled him to do it. I think he attended the prayer meeting with the intent of committing murder, he made an evil choice and now he needs to accept his just deserts.

I think that even if a death penalty (or whole life tariff) is legal for murderers, a common or garden murder does not justify it. To me Roof is in the same class of person as killed Yitzhak Rabin. The vile creep who killed Rabin was a thing not a man, the judges commented at the end of his trial.

"Every murder is an abominable act, but the act before us is more abominable sevenfold, because not only has the accused not expressed regret or sorrow, but he also seeks to show that he is at peace with himself over the act that he perpetrated. He who so calmly cuts short another's life, only proves the depth of wretchedness to which [his] values have fallen, and thus he does not merit any regard whatsoever, except pity, because he has lost his humanity"

Roof seems to show no remorse for what he has done, I think the fact that he killed multiple people in a hate crime tips the case from being a "normal murder case" into a murder case with aggravating features. I think that Roof is similar to some of the worst of the UK criminals who have been given whole life tariffs, in terms of depravity he seems similar to Myra Hindley (sexual sadist who kidnapped and murdered children with her boyfriend), Jermey Bamber (He killed his whole family with a gun for monetary gain) and Colin Ireland (known as the "Gay Slayer", he did it because he wanted to become a serial killer). Trust me the deeds of these three UK criminals are not suitable reading for those who are fainthearted.

My vote would be for life with no hope of release, I think that even the slowest execution method possible would be too rapid a punishment for Roof.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
