What terrifies me more is how much rape culture is perpetuated... just look at the comments...

is it weird we don't use the words "hate crime" over something like this?
waving this off as "another incident of a crazy person" is terrible. "destigmatizing mental illness will also help us stop treating it like a black box, e.g. when shootings happen just kinda shrugging at the pathology."
Those comments are indeed disturbing. We clearly need to have some discussions about why these lone gunman rampages have become so prevalent in the US. At this point, we have to own up to some responsibility and figure out what can be done about it.
It's a really complex issue and one that I won't claim to have an answer too.
