What could possibly drive someone to something so evil in real life?

Mental illness

It’s 100% mental illness, loneliness and lack of treatment options. It doesn’t mean we should feel sorry for the perpetrator, but everyone’s a victim here. It’s just a horrid situation all around.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong they need to go to prison forever.

After 14 years of Tory cuts I doubt the attacker could've accessed treatment even if he wanted to.
