We can pass judgement very easily, but everyone does things for a reason. Thats not to say that it is right, or even wrong. Instead of using these videos for pure amusement, we might learn something about ourselves and the root causes of destructive behavior. I'd very much like to get this guy onto a couch and ask him some questions. I think we've all hated our mothers at some point, but taking an axe to her.....we can't understand it, but I'm sure it makes sense to him. Good police rush, by the way.
Well said, it is probable that he is having some kind of psychotic episode and is not aware that it is his mother as such that he is hacking away at.
