Certainly being "milked" this "mental-health-nonsense".

 

Having said that, I have to agree that randomly stabbing people is down to "mental instability".

 

Sadness with these victims.

Who knows what this was about. Were the two young guys threatening him? Reminds me of Bernhard Goetz who fought back against the teen thugs threatening him on the NYC subway.

"Decisive for the act was that he felt threatened by the cellphones of the passengers sitting across from him, at which point he attacked them," said the statement.
