I do however reiterate that schizophrenics not on meds are VERY agitated and can not function and LM seemed to be able to premeditated by announcing this vid on line two weeks before the actual murder, dispose of body very methologically and purchase an air ticket and make his escape. If that is someone that is not in control of his faculties.....
thank you for this comment! this is one of the things that makes me again very confused. It seems that some schizophrenics actually can function, premeditate, plan and be somewhat organized in their own 'madness' even without medication.
If you guys read about Rio school shooting episode,
Rio de Janeiro school shooting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the shooter was schizophrenic. He had a lousy childhood, his biological mother was schizophrenic and gave him up for adoption, so he was raised by a nice lady who was 50years old when adopted him. But he was bullied constantly at school mainly in the year 2001. He got obssessed by the 9/11 attacks, he was diagnosed schizophrenic just like his biological mother. Anyway, fast forward a couple of years, he was medicated and got a job, went to church, was somewhat functional and seemed normal. But his adoptive mother died and he was left alone without any family.
He became VERY depressed, this guy only had friends on the internet, his hobby was to be on the internet and also had flashbacks about the bullying he faced at school. That's when he got the idea of revenge, he was very intelligent and organized, he read everything he could of how to get guns and how to shoot and attack the school with military tactics, he planned carefully and was influenced by the kids from Columbine school shooting.
Aftermath: he killed 12 innocent kids and injured other 12 because in his mind they were the same ones that bullied him when he was at school and they deserved to pay for what they did to him in the past. He commit suicide but he left specific ways to be buried and he had some muslim beliefs something very rare here in Brazil, because it is a catholic country. That's why some people thought he had terrorist connections. But if you look back in the past he was bullied at school being called also 'bin laden', terrorist, psychopath because he was always very quiet and odd, he had a leg problem also and walked funny, used to talk all the time about the 9/11 attack, such things made him a perfect target for bullying.
Sorry for the long post, but my point is that in the press it says he stopped taking his medication for schizophrenia a long time before the shooting, but he was still able to plan the attack carefully and in a logical way. I think this is very interesting, it seems that there is some sort of order in their personal chaos, if a schizo believe in something they can take logical procedures when dealing with what they perceive as dangerous to them. They can find some logic in their actions. I mean like Vince Li, he atacked the kid at the bus because in his schizo mind he would save the world from an alien invasion, he thought he killed an alien. Of course it wasn't planned but maybe Magnotta planned everything so carefully because in his mind he was part of his own movie, like Catherine Tramell from Basic Instict or Hannibal. Maybe he had to follow a script, including promoting the killvid and running away to europe, that's why he said "you got me'. I don't think he is schizophrenic but I wouldn't be shocked if he had a prior diagnosis. In my mind he is just a narcissist and famewh0re, but I'm a bit emotional
