Too bad, it is a sad story.

I do feel "bad" for the perp (notice the quotes, MM). Why? Because no one is destined to do this. The choices he made, the choices his family made, led him to this outcome.

I feel bad for people like this. Don't get me wrong, that doesn't equate to sympathy in my book (shit, give me the chance and I'll personally inject this a-hole) but I still feel like he didn't have to do this, that something, somebody, somwhere may have been able to stop this.

Maybe all he needed was a hug as a child, a stronger male role model, a sport, an education, something that was not provided to him by his family.

On the other hand, maybe he got all of this and still turned into a monster. Who knows...
