    why not just suicide at home? like, why get all dressed up in tac gear, then off yourself in a relatively public space? oh sure, mental illness, but… why not just stay home?

      Could have meant to kill a bunch of people and go out in a blaze of “glory” then had second thoughts and just skipped to the end.

      There is no “but” to mental illness; Mental illness is by-defintion doing things that don’t make sense, often the person performing the actions doesnt even understand why they are doing what they are doing (when extreme mental illness is involved). Motivations can be anything from visual hallucinations to “I dont know, I felt like a passenger while my body was doing things”.

      Saying “ok, but like y tho” is asking an unanswerable question. Again the person themself might not even know! Read some of their notes;

      I do not quite understand what it is that compels me to type this letter. Perhaps it is to leave some vague reason for the actions I have recently performed. I do not really understand myself these days. I am supposed to be an average reasonable and intelligent young man.
