Very simply, I guess what I’me trying to say is that insanity can appear anywhere, even in intelligent, right-thinking people. It does us no good to deny it. Instead, we have to study and figure out the best way to prevent another such occurrence. He was right about the stifling of speech by the MSM. Perhaps that is where we need to direct our efforts. It is my feeling that the MSM is somewhat culpable because they do try to stifle speech. Perhaps this wouldn’t have happened if he felt his voice was being heard seriously, rather than ridiculed.

Yeah, it is like a self-fulfilling prophesy where if one keeps getting kicked and put down, ridiculed, beaten, pushed aside, demonized, not heard, etc., plus if you add in other, perhaps unknown factors, it could push a few people over the edge and they do something terrible.
I keep thinking of the song from Black Sabbath, "Iron Man," where the character is shunned by society and/or society doesn't care so he turns bad and lashes out.
Has he lost his mind Can he see or is he blind Can he walk at all Or if he moves will he fall
Is he alive or dead Has he thoughts within his head We'll just pass him there Why should we even care
He was turned to steel In the great magnetic field When he traveled time For the future of mankind
Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance That he will soon unfurl
Now the time is here For Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead Fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again!
