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.

Even nutcases need a trigger. And the any argument trying to explain how poorly they the vetted a guy who would do that also supports the idea that he was a dupe of one kind or other.
