hyke, interestingly, they are describing him as calculated, logical and seemingly reasonable, obviously, not as in his actions were reasonable
but he is not described as insane, or incoherent, or neurotic or anything such.
just in from the latest press conference, the shooting lasted an hour and a half. he surrendered being called upon by the approaching police, and seems to be cooperative, but "tiresome" to question.
witnesses describe how he would calmly take walks around the small islet, which is easily circumvented in 15-20 minutes, while wearing the police uniform, luring out many people who did not know him by sight, hiding from the shooting, believing him to be a cop. witnesses describe watching entire groups of people being mowed down before their eyes, as they approached him believing him to be police.
i remember yesterday, thinking that it was a bad idea for them to try to swim across (which has resulted in many drowned), but in retrospect, it seems like the only option, as he had well over an hour to search through a fairly limited length of beach, and some woods...
