How could you go from hacking someones head off and holding it up in front of innocent onlookers back to a perfectly normal functioning citizen?
The guy is irreversable IMO.............
I wouldnt have thoughts of being a vigilante if our "justice systems" worked half decently.

Emerging studies, however, suggest that the association between paranoid delusions and violence may be less straightforward. Pamela Taylor, Burce Link, et al have reported studies that: Strong predictors of violence in the mentally ill are the feeling that others are out to harm them and a feeling that their mind is dominated by forces beyond their control or that thoughts are being put into their head"

The final factor that may predict violence is the specific type of hallucinations. Command hallucinations, in which voices tell the schizohprenic person what to do, may be compelling predictors of violence"
