I glanced at the news story in the link.
From what I read, this seems like only more media hype.
In the USA media, we get a lot of this "reverse profiling" of the subject after the incident.
Someone (often described as a 'disgruntled employee' ) goes barking mad, then injures or kills people.
The next step is the media regurgitates stuff like "People we interviewed say he/she was a loner", "He/she read books (or) spent a lot of time on the computer".
'Right from wrong' sounds like drugs or a severe mental disorder, not AS. Never mind the harm done to the AS community or to anyone who is quiet or a bit of a loner. The media needs to sell newspapers or airtime at any cost and will viciously defend their turf. Catch the media telling lies and they will cry about their civil rights.
