But what's the difference between being insane and "just snapping"? I like to think that no matter how angry or stressed or whatever other crap life throws at me, that cutting someone's head off during my snap-episode is definitely NOT going to be the reaction.
And by all accounts nothing really instigated this guy's attack. He just was sitting in his seat and then got up and committed the murder out of nowhere.
Maybe when an already insane person snaps the consequences are just worse? I don't really know. Just not sure if there's a difference between "snapping" and being insane.
