And you don't see all that as a sign of mental illness? What else could it be? No sane person would do or say those things.
>As far as your "should we look for a way to treat his mental illness? Of course" (emphasis mine).....knock yourself out, and good luck finding volunteers.
"We" in that sentence, of course, stood for society as a whole. It's in our best interest to figure out how to treat this guy and all the others who are equally sick. Ideally, we also find a way to identify people with the illness before they kill and treat them first.
