I didn't know him well or even at all, but I passed him on the street multiple times. I heard people saying that he had a "mental illness" at the time and thinking back about his actions and demeanor, maybe he was on the autism spectrum.

Are you out of your mind? Have you seen One Piece? In the right hands a blade such as that wielded by a master swordsman could split mountains. The risk was just too great to not bring an armored car.
