Something led to this guy being crazy. It's not an excuse, a cop-out, a justification or anything else. The guy was crazy and there was a reason for it. I don't have any sympathy either but it's not some special insight to say he needed treatment. I mean really, that's like pointing at a house that is burned down and saying "what special insight do you have to say they should have phoned the fire department"?
Slightly off base. Phillycup06 and Politicalrenegade would look at the burned-out house and, before any forensic investigation, immediately deem faulty wiring the cause.

I don't deny that the killer had a problem. I just bristle when he's diagnosed by armchair quarterbacks before any facts have seen the light of day.
