Madness is always there, with us. Usually attuned harmlessly to its own sirens, so we become accustomed to its seemingly harmless presence and forgetful of what it is capable of. Then, it strikes; and there is blood, or terror.
Does it make sense? The father who loses his job and "sees" that murdering his family is "the solution"? The mother who wakes up one fine morning and decides today is a great day to kill her children? The man in the pizza shop who receives God's message that the Devils he works with must no longer live? The guy who walks into a Polytechnic and WILL make women pay for not loving him? and on and on and on.... Does it make sense? No more than any force of nature we are faced with, and have to confront as part of reality.

Senseless. But then, how about this one? It's all random.
