What a charming guy he was.....and with such a nice hobby (collecting radioactives for bombmaking). While I don't condone the killing of anyone, his abuse of his wife [and no doubt everyone in his world] certainly would not make it a surprise he was 'done in' by one of his victims. Luckily, saving many more intended ones. Sadly, there are lots of persons like him in the USA - it has been a breeding ground for just that kind of pathology - moral, ethical, legal, philosophical. A good 10-15% of the American population is just plain dangerous, IMO. Most would not 'act out' on their own [though all too many others would and could!], but would back others that would - and maybe even find a 'religous' justification for it. Also, another great example of how despite the facts the public view and mythology is that the dangers come from 'outside' and not from within. In fact, since WW2 clearly most [though granted not all] evil, killing, stealing, anti-democratic action, etc has come from deep within America - usually from its ruling class.
