[Belgium] Car-Ram Kills Four.

[Ninurta]

Hard to fathom really how people can do such a thing.

Terrorist incident or not its a cowardly act of depravity. :(

It really is at that. I know I would have a difficult time taking a life to defend my own (aberrant I know.. lol) just can't even imagine what kind of person could just go out and kill random people...

Well, that sort of thing is the reason you keep me around - to handle untoward tasks like killing in defense and reaching the top shelf.

But the answer to your question of "what kind of person can just go out and kill random people" is "a lunatic". It doesn't matter what other facade they try to hide behind, whether religion, ideology, or what have you, the core problem is lunacy. The religious or ideological claims are just facades to hide their core crazy, excuses to exercise their lunacy on the unsuspecting just like any other serial killer.

Well-adjusted and mentally healthy religious folk and ideologues do not go around killing random strangers. Only people broken in the head do that.

Now, with that said, I do not believe in using insanity ass a legal defense, either, in most cases. It has been severely over used and abused so much as to have no real meaning any more. If someone is that bonkers, I don't want them walking the same streets as my family, anyhow, and the best solution for them is a hole in the ground and dirt in their face.
