The point is either can be the result of a multitude of reasons.


Someone can be evil, but perfectly sane. Someone can angry and erratic, but perfectly sane (and not evil). Someone can crack because he lost a job or got dumped. Someone can start a chain of events that spirals out of control. Someone can think he is a revolutionary or is making a statement. Someone can just be a psychotic racist who hates a group of people. In some cases, someone is actually insane -- I would note that in many of those instances the person is institutionalized for mental treatment and not thrown in prison.

Some of the mass shooters or other mass murderers in our history fit that last category, but statistically most do not. And even then, that's far removed from taking SOME form of medication, which millions of completely normal people do. It's possible for a substance to trigger violent behavior but usually that leads to suicide or something of the sort....not a planned out mass killing where one goes out and purchases AR-15s and body armor to go shoot up a school or movie theater. It's more like what happened to (may he RIP) Chris Cornell.
