Vang came from the killing fields and I think that his old way of life came into play
That was my first reaction when this incident occurred.
His tactical situational awareness seemed to suggest he wasn't new to this kind of "one versus many" scenario. Delayed stress syndrome maybe. Regardless, he had both the opportunity to kill and the will to kill happening at the same time. That was a powerful combination.
If the victims had had a clue as to how close this guy was to the edge they might have taken a different stance. I'm not saying the victims were some how at fault but I do think there was a strong possibility they underestimated what this guy was capable of.
