toronto.ctvnews.caIf he had enough mental faculty to selectively kill White people only, then he's a terrorist. It's as simple as that.

The 29-year-old man who gunned down 15 people on the Danforth Sunday night had previously been investigated by Toronto police under the Mental Health Act, CP24 has learned.
A police source told CP24 that in 2010, Faisal Hussain made comments to school officials at Victoria Park Collegiate Institute that led them to contact police.
According to the source, Hussain spoke about being “The Joker” from the Batman movie and talked about “liking death” and “explosions.”

Don't know why terrorism and mental illness are being portrayed as mutually exclusive here. Just because you were mentally ill when you went and shot white people exclusively doesn't mean that he is absolved of wrong doing.
You can be mentally ill AND a terrorist, as much as these fringers would like you to believe otherwise.

Here's the thing, a person can be mentally ill and a terrorist, it's not necessarily one or the other. Why does this seem like such a difficult concept?
It's difficult to sell a certain angle if you try to include both.
The anti-Muslim group wants to sell that he's a brain washed terrorist and we should treat everyone in the Muslim community as pariahs.
The pro-mental health group wants to focus on that aspect and call to more mental health aid, focusing on that aspect alone to get traction for more funding.
Both sides have their own agenda to sell, and diluting the space shared means the view you want to push gets less of it.
