That is what is so frustrating about mental illness, that there is no rhyme or reason to it and usually by the time it is fully recognized, it is too late.

But, like you, I can't just give the guy a free pass either. Too many innocent people had their lives shattered by his actions. He must not be given the opportunity to endanger anyone else, at least not for a good long time.
