Where was Tommy's rage?

One issue I had with Tommy was they show his rage when under extreme duress. As a child it allowed him to save his sister. As a grown man he exhibits it when pushed (quite literally and metaphorically) but oh why was it not there when he needed it? I get that Jason had really *beep* with his mind but why couldn't he tap into it, especially with the memories playing back in his head during the confrontation?

Yet when he was pranked by the guy in the mas (and also shoved) and then when provoked by the redneck he had no qualms beating the *beep* out of them and he wasn't on his meds then.

Or maybe he was really interested in sharing his chocolate bar first, but the other kid did it faster which ultimately caused his snapping to break him off a piece of human limb.
