One thing got dispelled very quickly; this was NOT a heat of the moment bit of passion. This little man had taken a long time to formulate his views, and express them. While that may sound like a compliment, it is not, it means that he was able to nurture and sharpen his hate, despite many chances to turn back, including that fateful day where, after an hour at the church meeting, he could have just said "thanks for the Coffee Pastor Clem."

In short, do not even bring up mental illness. This kid's mind knew where it wanted to go.
