Also, did someone really say that they know people who have been through more, worse, or worse for longer and coped better so MB had no excuse?
I’ve got to go back and look.
Comparing people’s struggles and preservence, or how they handle matters when under stress is…full of ignorance at best. People have different “lines” or breaking points. There are many factors at play and what you might think is “worse” for one person, can be irrelevant. It shows a lack of compassion to think that way, but I also understand that mental health is often very misunderstood and mismanaged in the US.
Not saying that MB “had an excuse” exactly, but there could be explanations behind some of his actions. I’m actually not 100% clear on what happened the day of the shooting, due to reasons mentioned in my last post. I don’t know how/why some can be so certain? I get that the jury came out with a verdict, but that doesn’t exactly explain everything.
