It sounds like you agree with me somewhat. We can't know for sure why he stopped treatment, but it's possible he felt shame for being sick. If there was more support he might not have made the tragic decision to kill himself and those 150 people.

Also, your post is skating a very thin line in passing the blame to 'society' not Cptn. Mass Murder.
Nope, I blame the pilot. He made the decision to take those lives. I just think we can do better to help people not make that decision in the future.
