But no one wants to accept that people can do such a thing for "no reason" (chemical imbalance in the brain). They're looking for parents who beat him, they're looking for sexual assault as a child, they want a royally screwed-up past and bad upbringing to put a nice little bow on the whole thing.
Well, I'm sorry to say, there's no nice little bow going on this. The guy was mentally ill, and that's that. It did, in fact, happen for no reason whatsoever.
Can we all move on, now?

why is it when someone does something bad one of the first things another person asks is something similar to "what did his parents do to them"
I did a lot of shit when I was younger (didnt kill anyone) but you know what? when I got myself straightened out the first thing I would tell anyone was it had nothing to do with my "parents" it was things and situations I put myself in....they didnt do it.
For all we know his parents may have been as scared or disturbed as other people were (and I mean teachers, female aquaintances etc)
