What evidence do you have that they were "crazy"?

Most people who commit mass murders are not "crazy" - they don't have psychosis, they know what they're doing, they plan the attack.

They murdered dozens of innocent people. No one’s saying they were psychotic, necessarily.


In my book anyone who would commit a mass murder is "crazy". I did not call the shooter a schizophrenic, or a psychopath, did I? "Crazy" is a colloquial term, not a medical one. That said, anyone who would kill random innocent people qualifies as a sociopath at the very least.
