You do know that procedures like that didn't always result in a docile, happy individual. Sometimes they altered the personality in unpredictable ways and the reality was they were used in an era where you didn't have a lot of the options you have today.
There's about 100 things you could do in treating someone with mental illness before you start throwing out lobotomies.

Quick, permanent, useful.
We've had 50 years to advance our medical procedures since the last ones were performed in the U.S.
Beats depending on these shitballs to "take their meds".

I'd say anything beats torture. We're a civilized society, with no objective argument to torture someone -- no matter how heinous they were in life.
Instead we should be talking about how bad our mental health services are.

Crazy people are poor.
Can't make money off of them. So just let nature take its course.

It's all the talk at work here today. Probably gonna impact our sales, weirdly enough. It seems like when these shootings take place, we sell more firearms.
Don't know if it's mentioned in this thread, but here's a law in SC.
Every adult male must bring a rifle to church on Sunday in order to ward off Indian attacks.

It happens all the time, right? You are in church, righteously praying your little heart away, when Indians attack the town. All the men run off guns loaded to protect their rightfully stolen land from being stolen back again, but not you. You forgot to bring your gun, you filthy law breaker! I am so not bailing you out this time! I mean how could you not follow the perfectly reasonable law that every adult male must bring a rifle to church on Sunday in order to ward off Indian attacks.

The 21-year-old suspected gunman told his trailer park friends last week that he wanted to kill people at a local college — but no one took him seriously because of his “deadpan sense of humor,” neighbor Christon Scriven told the Daily News.
“He flat out told us he was going to do this stuff,” said Scriven, who lives in the same Lexington, S.C., trailer park as Roof.
Last Wednesday — exactly one week before the Charleston church massacre — Roof told his friends and neighbors “he was looking to kill a bunch of people on Wednesday” at the College of Charleston, Christon said.

“deadpan sense of humor,”
There is not a damn thing funny about threats to kill someone. I can see how people wouldn't take him seriously - if you know someone, and you are friends, and you see their good points, I think it's human nature to think they could never commit an atrocity like this. But to not take him seriously because making threats like this was his "sense of humor"????? Dude was obviously disturbed, and evil.
Horrible acts of violence leave us all reeling, and looking for explanations and answers. We want to know why he did this terrible thing. We want to believe there must be something horribly wrong with him to cause the violence. My first thought was schizophrenia. But after considering it for a day, I come to the simple explanation that he was twisted and evil. This was no psychotic break. He considered this, talked about it, planned it. Sat with people in a room and studied the BIBLE for an hour. Then systemically murdered them in cold blood, stopping to reload. Again. And Again. And Again. And Again. And looked these people he studied the bible with in the eye, and told them he had to do it. That isn't simply mental illness, though it likely plays a part. It isn't a racist upbringing. It's just a twisted, evil soul. God have mercy on him.

Dude has dead eyes, every killer I've ever been up close to (and there have been more than a few) all have dead eyes.

Sounds like just plain evil from everything I've read

Sounds melodramatic until you see it for yourself.
Have only seen such in person once. Would like never to see again.

I truly think that some people are born without the ability to become fully conscious. Some people call it the "soul," but in science it's called the "Theory of Mind" or the ability to attribute mental states such beliefs, intents, desires, pretending, knowledge, etc. to oneself and others and to understand that others have beliefs, desires, intentions, and perspectives that are different from their own.
I also think you can look into the eyes of people and know whether this attribute is present or absent. I've studied serial killers for most of my adult life, as a hobby, because they fascinate me. I have yet to see a pic of one of them where their eyes look normal.
They can usually "pass" in social settings but they will tell you that they were acting. They don't have the social skills that most people have an innate aptitude for.
I think it's a birth defect. A defect in their brains. I also think research could discover markers that would help us to either correct the condition before birth or abort the defective embryo.
