He wants attention for what he did. He's certainly getting it. This is the biggest story I've seen in a long time. This way eclipses the Idaho murders. To me, what you just read seems a bit disjointed, but what he's saying is parasites, it needed to be done sorry if anyone was hurt, and he takes it upon himself. He is the avenging angel as he sees it.

Yet, in his notes, I see fragmentation, wandering thoughts, which all would support that he is, this whole thing has to do with the mental decompensation on him.

Well, as insane, of course, legally means the individual did not understand, did not know at the time they committed an act that it was wrong. And that's hard for people to understand. But if an individual has voices in their head telling them to kill someone in order to save the rest of America, That is a very serious mental, they really thought what they were doing was right.

And they belong in a mental facility, not a prison. Like John Hinckley. Exactly, exactly.

Well, Megan, a lot of mental disorders, mental illnesses emerge in the late teens, early to mid 20s. Now, I'm not diagnosing him. I'm simply saying that is a fact about mental illnesses. And it's certainly a good question. Looking at this young man's meteoric rise,

to success athletically, culturally, socially, academically, and then to throw it all away and appear in behavior that is a head scratcher, became a murderer, I think we probably will find something.

Yes, that can happen. Now, I'm not saying this guy is psychotic. Clinical term means out of touch with reality, doesn't perceive things as they are, possibly hearing voices. We don't know that about him. But the answer to your question is yes. I'm aware of a number of cases, both in my life growing up and then as a psychiatric nurse caring for people.

young people who went away to college, and the expression is came home in a basket. And what happened was mental illness, serious, usually schizophrenia, or sometimes bipolar disorder, emerged where there's that bridge from puberty to adulthood.

As a psychiatric nurse, I saw it. And when my son was in high school decades ago, a friend of his did some kind of designer drug, psychedelic drug, became a schizophrenic thought disorder, and it did not have a happy ending. These are very serious drugs. And if somebody has a history, they may not even know they have history of mental illness of some kind, it can open the floodgates.

Right, exactly. I'm not surprised. that his friends from college, which was a while ago, were saying, gee, we didn't see this coming, he's totally normal. Because when many of these mental illnesses we're talking about emerge, it happens in a matter of weeks. And I haven't seen anyone being interviewed that said they had interacted with him in the last six months.

Well, no, I'm not surprised. A couple of things. came to my mind about that radio silence with family and friends. One is that, yes, possibly a mental illness was emerging. But moreover, now that we know what he did last week, he had decided to do it to kill someone, to kill this person. And he did not want to interact with anyone.

I almost lost my mind reading Ted Kaczynski's manifesto. It's rambling poetry. It is at times almost incoherent. So that doesn't surprise me that his colleagues who probably were of sound mind went, what the heck is this? But it also doesn't surprise me that This young man that we are talking about became an admirer of Kaczynski. What did Kaczynski do?

He killed people that he thought were harming society, or at least he attempted to. The truth is when Kaczynski put a bomb down and walked away or mailed a bomb, he had no idea who was going to be hurt or killed by it. And he didn't really care. That is different. than what we are seeing here with Mangione.

When I saw that, of course, I watched it very carefully. And one of the things that I noticed was when he was in the police vehicle, there is no indication, I couldn't see, that he was causing a stir, that he was combative, yelling, screaming, kicking, anything like that in the vehicle. He gets out, he looks around, he spots the camera, and then he goes on his rant. Now,

There was a time I worked at a county emergency psychiatric facility and most patients that were brought in were in the back of a police car and they were screaming and yelling. There's actually a cage wall to protect. It looks like a cage to protect the police officers in front. He wasn't doing that. He was cool, calm and collected until he knew the cameras were rolling.
