Thank you for mentioning the PTSD. There is far more to this then a labelling it as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Its really easy to grasp for something to cause this type of behaviour. We must be careful to not stigmatise and generalise mental heath issues. The repeated pattern of this does not suggest the rare triggered PTSD act of violence. Most PTSD sufferers are self harm inflicters, not outwardly violent. Same with Schizophrenia and other mental health illness. I am more apt to see a sociopathic personality disorder with this. Sure something triggered him to begin the process, something snapped or removed his filters, but it is not a trigger in a PTSD sense. This is not an oops I did it again situation. This is calculated, scheming, and violent. PTSD is not that. IMOO
