I also question how well some "knew" him...people come out of the woodwork in these situations (went to HS with him, couple classes, had beers one time, mutual friends ect.) It would take someone who knew him WELL and spent time with him recently to really know what was going on. Any psychologist will tell you nobody just "snaps" there are always signs.

That's the thing. The opinions can be biased both sides for sure, for those who know him and who don't. And in my first post I mentioned that some of these people have been a classmate from pre-school to graduation, so I think that could be justified as knowing him well.
My point is those who actually met and knew the guy have a better understanding than some strangers who read about him on the paper and are voicing their opinions on the internet. It's easy to say he's a cold blooded murderer who decided to kill 5 people when you don't know him, because that's the only thing most people here know about him.
