    I’m not pinning this on mental illness. That is a scapegoat. Plenty of people, including myself, have mental illness and don’t ever resort to any sort of thing even resembling this behavior. These are simply bad, entitled people who were angry that the universe didn’t revolve around them for once.

    Were some of the people there mentally ill that day? Statistically, almost inevitably. Most of those people were not even approaching a level of mental illness where they were unaware of the consequences of their actions.
