He didn't realize his reality wasn't everyone's reality, or at least those around him. Self-righteousness and mental certitude, lack of respect for the rights of others, probably some privilege mixed in. As I often say with criminals, he thought he was doing just fine, thought he had every right to do what he did. The outcome is sad all around.
