I mean in usage of the term "fucked up". Morally of course what Lanza did was reprehensible, but I think you can look at this from more than one angle simultaneously. What set off the sequence of events that caused Lanza to go on a murder spree instead of hiding in his room playing video games or whatever he did every day of his life before any of us heard of Sandy Hook?

"Justifiable" and "Good" aren't always the same thing. In certain circumstances, yes - violence can be justifiable. Hell, it can be necessary. That doesn't make it good. That could be its own thread for reals.

Do you think that Lanza was put into a situation where he was forced to betray his character when he shot his mother, stole her guns, and murdered children and their teachers? Did someone put him up to it? Threaten his dog? Maybe he was just fucked in the head, whether that hurts feelings here or not.
