Some people for sure.
My mind is pretty warped and I've had some dark thought over the years. Been through a lot but I have never thought about hacking someone up.
It's not like I have much love for people cause I don't. Really don't have much use for most but I'm not down with this.
It interests me though.
What would cause a teen to go off the deep end like that.
In situations like this I don't think it's any 1 thing.

I think it's a lot of things.
First I think brain chemistry.
Love or lack of
Support or lack of
Environment
We can't know. Even if her environment wasn't terrible and love was there.
Was it enough for her?
Put you or me in her environment with our brain chemistry and we don't react like that.
I think sometimes things come together in a perfect storm of events that cause bad # to happen
Not saying it is not her fault. It is. Just saying that so many things come to play. Change 1 thing about her life and this don't happen.
My opinion
No facts to back it up
Taft High School’s principal, Mark Grishaber, told DNAInfo that Wasni was “in and out of therapeutic hospitals,” both before and after her eight-day enrollment at his school.
“Her case manager told me she shouldn’t have even been allowed to enroll at Taft, and hearing about this, I guess she was right,” Grishaber told DNAInfo. “It’s just so odd, and very tragic. … I don’t think anyone even knew who she was.”
She said Wasni had taken two earlier Uber rides the evening before, including one to Des Plaines and another from Des Plaines to Walmart.
Two minutes after he began driving, Wasni allegedly began stabbing Nelson from the back seat. He was able to pull over and run into a nearby apartment building, where residents called 911.
Wasni climbed into the front seat of Nelson's silver sedan and drove away before striking a central reservation in the road. She jumped out of the car and fled on foot, the court was told.
Police found Wasni nearby crouching behind an air conditioner with a machete in one hand and a knife in the other, the court heard. Officers shot her with a Taser after she allegedly ignored orders to drop her weapons.
According to prosecutors, police recovered a shirt the girl could be seen wearing in the Walmart. The shirt had blood on it when it was found.

Money is ultimately the cause, or lack there of. Sure some people are just crazy and want to hurt others but luckily there only a very small percentage, in fact decimals their numbers are so small .
The growing number of disolutioned people are the ones to worry about, they are the ones with the most to lose and will act out accordingly.
