I'm a little worried about myself because I actually understood part of his e-mail and have some sympathy for him. He felt that a not really impartial judge was depriving him of the home that his family had built with their hard work. It was doubly upsetting to him because his family had already been deprived of their home and property as a result of the war. He seemed to be very unhappy with his job and to feel that some of the doctors and nurses did not behave in a professional manner. The email was a cry from a very lonely man who felt he had nothing left to live for. That in itself is very sad. Undoubtedly, he was a little eccentric, but the circumstances of his life had some bearing on that. Of course, it was wrong of him to do what he did, but reading his attempt to try to explain his actions gave me much more insight into the man than did the MSM's portrayal of him simply as a spiteful old man seeking revenge on his greedy wife.

His wife sounded grasping and his daughters not much better.

I also felt sympathy or empathy for him. He had seen his parents work hard only to have it all taken away. They came here, bought that house and his wife wanted it. He was losing again. Wonder if what he said about the judge was true? lol

There was some nuttiness and some paranoia in the email but I don't think he was the monster portrayed in the press.
