Roy Green Show - Sat April 4th – Is Andreas Lubitz any Different Than Charles Manson?

I want to talk about that co-pilot on the Germanwings plane who murdered 150 people by diving the passenger jet into the Alps. There’s much talk about his mental health and physical health issues as well. I believe strongly in mental health issues being properly addressed and any lingering stigma related to mental health be eradicated. That includes, of course, depression, which Andreas Lubitz is said to have been challenged by.Lubitz to me though is no different than Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer and Clifford Olson. A mass-murderer of children, women and men, except no societal vengeance on this killer is possible. Many deal with depression without resorting to gratuitous brutality.Am I wrong to feel this way about Lubitz? I’ll be asking Dr. Frank Farley, psychologist and past president of the American Psychological Association (he’s Canadian). Dr. Farley is also the President-elect of the Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict and Violence.
