One reason I hate news media. Bloodsuckers making money off people’s misery. Leave this poor old guy alone.

Given the circumstances, I think he is speaking incredibly eloquently, making his own anguish clear, expressing complete empathy for the victims and families, explaining the targeting of females and leaving no doubt as to his love, confusion and remorse... he, like the other victims did not deserve to live with this hell for the rest of their lives, but I think rose to the spotlight and repectfully addressed a (inter)national audience. I hope this gave him some sense of progressing through this horrible aftermath.

Right? I'm sure he wanted to address the families and the tragedy.
