Mr Olbermann, if someone jumps out from behind the tomato display in the produce section at your grocery store and repeatedly hits you in the face with a bat, will you call for banning bats? Or tomatoes? Or grocery stores?

Crazy people are crazy people. This guy had a confirmed psychopath as a father, and psychopathy is somewhat hereditary. He was probably high functioning until something occurred that flipped him over the edge. There is no way to protect against guys like him.

Imagine if he'd decided to use a fertilizer bomb like that guy in Oklahoma City. Or driven a tanker filled with gasoline into the crowd and exploded it. Civilized society depends on civilized people. We can't have someone watching everyone else all the time. And even if we did, our rules are based on a desire to survive and thrive, which don't work for the suicidal - homicidal.
