The discussion of possible rehabilitation for this man is pointless and too late. He has committed murder and will be dealt with accordingly. We cannot learn from mass murderers. No one parks a car/truck/SUV on a train track without thinking that the train might derail. Unfortunately, the design of this train made derailment a higher possibility. This man knowingly involved innocent people in his failed attempt at self-destruction. There are plenty of ways to attempt suicide without involving other people. Do I feel sorry for him? No. Do I feel sorry for his family? Yes. They are suffering as much as the passengers on the train.
And Hal, I do hope your mother talks to someone about what has happened. This is an extremely stressful situation that can cause lingering effects. We are relieved that she is okay. Please talk to her often. She may still feel the need to discuss her opinions with you.
