No. It is exactly about him, and the choices HE made to kill and injure others. My point is no system will ever be able to prevent a human being from doing something awful if they really want to do it. And if we try to make such a system we are going to damage the lives of many many others in the process.
Life is not a fair game. Being fit doesn't prevent disease. Having insurance doesn't stop disaster. Being wealthy does not mean happiness. And locking people up does not stop them doing awful things. Being a free and equitable community means accepting that bad stuff happens. Because we are human beings with free will and sometimes that is really bad news. When it is, blaming the system is really just a waste of time.
But it does serve the politicians rather well.
