What a shitty take. No amount of suicidal thoughts or emotional disturbance he had could've justified the murder of 83 innocent people, all with their own lives, loved ones, experiences… You are trying to justify their eradication by saying that it's excusable to kill people if you are depressed.
It's frustrating when people can't tell the difference between justification and understanding…
Is it right, justifiable, excusable? No.

People make really really poor decisions when backed far enough into a corner. If they can't see an exit, they'll make their own. That's often far messier than it had to be.
