I believe he should probably step back and stop talking. For a start the ex-wife hasn't had contact with him for 7/8 years, and how would he (or for that matter his ex-wife) know where he was at in his life in recent years? Please know I don't mean to be harsh - she can provide insight into who he was years ago, but more than likely he has changed. And what they are saying is distracting from what has actually unfolded. Rose-coloured glasses will not change that for the families and victims.
After hearing about his family environment, the fact that he had been investigated a few years ago, and that he did pronounce support for ISIS, this is not a mental health issue. His psychological vulnerabilities may have contributed to him seeking out extremist affiliation, but he did this in the name of ISIS.
This. This. This.
I'm so emotionally drained, I'm still catching up on this thread. I'm rarely speechless and literally still can't find words.
