The 'Reason' may not matter, but the 'Motive' does... - 'mental illness' is not a motive - Manhattan Mass Shooter: 27-Year-Old Shane Tamura from Las Vegas

The 'reason' is not excusable in instances such as these, but the motive matters and mental illness is a reason, not a 'motive' -

The process by which an investigation is conducted is often the crime. The 'Reason' may not matter, but the 'Motive' does... - 'mental illness' is not a motive - 'mental illness' is the excuse for not figuring out or reporting the motive. Unpopular motives are often determined to be 'reasons of insanity.'
