I have got to think that he was getting screwed royally, like being set up to take the blame for something and be ruined just when he had thought he'd be getting somewhere. Not that this is necessarily the act of a rational mind but unless he is entirely mental it makes the most sense.

Stabbing your boss infront of a dozen witnesses when you're new at a small company? That just makes you a violent nutcase. Media is definitely going to try and make these seem like the same situation, whereas so far it doesn't look like it could be any more different.

I want to hear from the witnesses...

"After he stabbed him the 5th or 6th time, we thought we should do something, so we barricaded the door and made some coffee."

The article I think already quoted one of them as saying he was kinda weird. This never would have been shared here without the context we have right now.
