He was a victim, therefore his choice to be violent was justified.

So now we don't refer to it as a murder, domestic violence, or child abuse; it is a poor guy who was distraught after losing his job. I refer to the California man who chose to kill his wife and kids.

Perhaps my biggest pet peeve is to see people treated as victims, thereby justifying whatever violent and abusive actions they choose to carry out. Therapists make this fatal mistake every day across America, empowering "victims" to wallow in their victimhood and victimize others. Stop it!
