I mean no snark or offense. Not you personally; people in general. I just mean, people go off. People go through unexpected trauma and crisis. You all are fine now, thankfully, but what's to keep you, or every individual who enters your home, from reaching the point where they do the unthinkable? My old landlord was a homicide cop and he told me most murderers are not violent criminals and killers. They are regular people who snapped. It happens all the time.
