I think we are all rachmanim, and we can’t imagine anyone doing anything like this unless they were crazy. I was thinking that myself, but somebody told me that today there are very explicit movies and websites, and people could get sunk into such experiences where this type of unspeakable horror loses its ‘impossible to do’ status. There is very little logic to what happened in this tragedy. Many are saying that the achdus and the tears that came out are what Hashem wants from us. I would add that the addiction to the internet and the watching of inappropriate stuff might also be the message – because now matter how weird this guy looks, i don’t think he would have been capable of what he did, had he not been been spending a lot of time watching crazy stuff. May each person be zoche to correct his faults so that we can return purely to Yerushalayim with Moshiach.
