No excuses for killers

Re “Story behind slaughter of family starts emerging,” Jan. 28
Stories about distressed men (always men) who kill their entire families always have a tone of sympathy or at least empathy.
It would be more accurate to refer to these men as “mass family killers” or “child and family murderers.”
The narcissistic anger and pathological arrogance that lead them to kill readily available persons is not much different from that of any other killer. They are not martyrs.
