So you're saying that all or at least some of these murders, rapists, and paedophiles are perfectly normal people?

I never said they were "perfectly normal", I said they weren't all necessarily clinically mentally ill. It's not "normal" to find a child sexually attractive just as it's not "normal" to find animals alluring, but there's still plenty of people that find animals attractive - just look at the "furry" community, it's more full of badly-drawn porn than any fandom I have yet to come across, save perhaps manga/anime.
Besides, before you can say a person is "normal" you have to define it. There's probably parts about you that people wouldn't define as "normal". A lot of people would say mutilating one's body isn't "normal". A lot of people would say for a woman not to shave her legs isn't normal. To have nine children isn't normal. Normal is only normal so long as society defines it that way. To be fair, I agree that they're probably not as "normal" as the rest of society, but to just slap on a label of "mentally ill" does the rest of the mentally ill an injustice. After all, depression is a mental illness - would you say they're not "normal"?
