The statement expresses a strong desire for justice without concern for the motive behind the crime. It dismisses any interest in understanding the reasons behind the act, labeling any motive as condemnable. The tone is dismissive and somewhat aggressive, particularly with the phrase 'I’m not mentally ill enough to have a rooting interest in why.' This could be seen as stigmatizing mental illness.
