Yes, you are excusing him. Why do we need to provide opportunities for them? If people like him want to be a part of society they need to provide opportunities for themselves. His life is not my fault, or your fault. It is not my responsibility to look after people like this and make sure they are successful in life. If they are so messed up that they need to try to kill other people then they should not be out in society, but removed. He is worse than a non-contributor, he is a taker of the worse kind. His carbon footprint should be eliminated.


Well, we'll have to agree to disagree. It may not have worked in this guy's case, but I believe we have a duty as a society to give people a second chance including a means to support themselves, therapy, etc. They screw up again, then we've seen their true nature, but everyone deserves a second chance.
