nothing directly shown or graphic, but there were many animals (frogs, birds) in Veidt's greenhouse area that he let snow into, which would have 100% killed them.

Rorshach is incredibly violent, morally absolute and paranoid.
At one point, an (inept) counselor is sent in to diagnose him.
However, there are no diagnosed mentally-ill violent characters.
