I was always looking for who or what caused him to do this. I sat in silence at the end and knew how wrong we are to do that. He and only he is responsible for his horrific actions. No one MADE him people loved him. His wife, his children, his girlfriend, his wife's family and his own family. The issue is he only loved himself.… Expand
