Many people would kill, if given the right reason. For instance, if someone fondles a little kid, hurts animals for fun or kills another human being for no reason at all, it would be enough for some to take matters into their own hands. Especially when you live in a corrupt or backwards country, where you feel justice won't be done otherwise. Most of the time, this is an impulsive act. You don't have to be mentally ill to do this, imo. And often, they do feel a sense of remorse. Also, it's usually a one time thing.
Then you have your people that are trained to kill. Army, jihadists, child soldiers. They either gave a reason to kill, a stupid religion that brainwashed them or are given lots of drugs, which fuck up their minds. Most if these people are not botn this way, they are created. And most of these people will have remorse or PTSD after the fact. It's situational killing, so to speak.
The difference with mentally ill killers, lies in the reason they kill (they have none, or the reason is pretty trivial), the need/urge to kill (their brain tells them they have to do it), and the fact they have no remorse at all. They cannot and will not stop unless they get caught, or die. It's a perpetual state if mind, often shows early in life, which is indicative if underlying mental illness. It's a deviation from the norm, one that hurts others and themselves. They will not recover, ever, I think, so to allow them to run free in our societies is bullshit. I am not talking about all mental disease here ofcourse.
Hope that made sense, English is not my first language and I am tired.
