There is nothing at all to suggest he was mentally ill or insane, everything points that he let his anger reach a point to he became vengeful. Certainly anyone that starts killing innocent people isn't mentally stable, that doesn't mean they suffer a mental disease. It is clear he had great mental capacity, planning and a point to prove. I see no sign of a severe mental illness, but plenty signs of anger and revenge. He clearly knew right from wrong.
The fact is 90% of people with serious mental illness still know the difference between right and wrong and don't get involved with crime or hurting others.. I do agree when people are seriously mentally ill, don't know right from wrong, others have to get involved and take responsibility, even if that means putting them in an institution to protect others.
Like it or not, many people CHOOSE to follow their anger to the point of murder, they become evil. Dorner became evil, he planned and picked his targets to hurt others. He clearly knew what he was doing and why. We all deal with anger, that doesn't give us the right to kill. It's clear this isn't a case that he didn't know right from wrong.

Sigh.
If there would be pink gas clouds on Io, it could maybe be a hint for pink elephants eating pink grass and producing pink gas.
But I do not assume that it is so.
If you would hop on one leg and never walk on two, it could be that your other leg is dysfunctional or you are phobic to walking on two legs, or your other leg is amputated.
But I do not assume it is so.
If you would consume LSD, you would see fancy colours and bright lights. By saying that, I do not express an assumption that you recently consumed LSD.
Enough of this now, before I feel like been pulled by force back into a Kindergarden. Since you have never been inside his head, you just do not know what it weas that made him tick the way he ticked. I just think it would be good to know, and I do not take YOUR assumptions (thats what they are!
that he just ticked out for granted. You do not know, nor does anyone at this stage. Maybe (or probably) we will never know.
