There are always "reasons" why people snap. That is why we have mindfawks. To find excuses for bad behavior. Who knows what was building up inside him and what that final straw was. But even if we could reel back time and take away that final straw, what happens when another straw comes along? These people are a step away from snapping. Nothing we can do about it.
