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?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

What would make him non-psycho in that scenario?
Apparently the DSM IV and a healthy dose of pedantry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You'll find it embraces you right back, all warm and snuggly.
Sure. Right before it stabs you in the stomach, kidnaps you, and hangs your new boyfriend from a tree.

Like ita said, embrace the pop-culture use of "psycho." You'll find it embraces you right back, all warm and snuggly.
Pfft. Her cite doesn't even have a reference past 1990. Next thing you know you'll advocate loose definitions of gerunds and references to Josh Whedon and blithely mistaking Charlotte Bronte as the author of Sense and Sensibility.
Standards, people! Elsewise, cats and dogs living together...

What would make him non-psycho in that scenario?
PMS. Cranky feelings. Out of coffee. Hungry for human liver.
Apparently the DSM IV and a healthy dose of pedantry.
You are calling me a pedant? Dude, we are coeval in our pedantry at the very least.

You're discounting the value of the PCL-R in evaluating psychopathy? Really?
