I wonder what his powers are. I also wonder if the press is sensationalising this.
Perhaps it's because there are people here who've regretted the things they've done with their powers that have been outside of their control that I can't help but be curious if all of this violence was intentional or if it was impossible to prevent? After all, if it was merely some adolescent acting out some childhood vendetta, why leave his hometown to do all this wrong-doing?
What would you do if every person you came into contact with died? What would you do if you needed to feed off the fear of others to survive? What would you do if you projected an aura of madness about you? Would you kill yourself? Or would you try desperately to survive, but hurt as few people as possible?
Or, conversely, what would you do if you knew without a doubt who would grow up to become mass murderers? We have some people on premises who've taken justice into their own hands with their abilities. What would you do if you could stop a thousand deaths by taking one?
I'm not saying that this bloke may not be absolutely bonkers and find personal satisfaction in killing people. He might be. It's a possibility. But maybe he's not. We don't have all the facts and it certainly doesn't appear that the press does either.

It also seems to me that you could have a trial just as well by Facetime, if it comes to it.
