being knocked unconscious and hung from a tree is a luxury spa treatment, like a mud wrap, or a hot stone massage...
How about killing them and hanging them -- more deep tissue work? Reiki?
Dude's dangerous to have around, and looks like a nutbar.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But in what fucked-up worldview is HANGING SOMEONE not considered psycho?
He could be ethically challenged, but not prone to psychotic breaks.
waves DSM IV in Tepalina's face
Also, I'm sure there have been instances of non-psycho hangmen. Some probably did it with a sense of mild regret and civic duty.

People, people. Just use the PCL-R. And your years of training.
Or just cop to the pop culture definition, of which the dude is certainly one.

I thought you said Blackadder for a second, and my mind went off on a weird tangent.
"I have a cunning plan...we hunt."

See, I could see Locke doing something like this and I don't think he's psycho. Just dangerous.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Like ita said, embrace the pop-culture use of "psycho." You'll find it embraces you right back, all warm and snuggly.

You can see Locke stalking, kidnapping and then killing one of the survivors and stringing him up? What would make him non-psycho in that scenario?

Apparently the DSM IV and a healthy dose of pedantry.

Sure. Right before it stabs you in the stomach, kidnaps you, and hangs your new boyfriend from a tree.
