I can agree with both statements but not being insane is one thing -- deliberately killing innocent people is a totally different issue.

One who does that is not deserving of any consideration or sympathy. They deserve a round in a kneecap a day and on the third day a brain stem perhaps -- but there is no apologia or acceptable rationale for either directly or indirectly deliberately targeting innocent people. As for trying to explain it, that almost certainly has to be a presumption unless the individual(s) provide or provided a thorough explanation of their thought processes -- and even that would be questionable, sometimes we do not really know why we do some things.

I believe that rather than 'explaining it' he used the tale to whip up a lot of not really germane froth. That sort of comes as the ultimate insult to the person he's nominally trying to explain...
