I am so disappointed. We cannot seem to find these troubled people and get them to a safe place and keep them safe from themselves and others safe from them. Of course, it is so recent the details are not out yet. But once again someone has gone off the edge and seems to killing people. Not soon enough to know all the details, soon enough to remember a gun cannot shoot itself. A person pulls the trigger.
More to come I am sure and the fight will continue.
The eternal sadness fills me now.
It is hard to understand how we miss the signs and can’t prevent some of this.
Sometimes it is more than just mental illness. I hope we do not decide that is always the issue.
it should seem obvious even to the most stupid that this isn’t a problem that will just go away. this is the sort of problem which must be addressed…
I think everyone agrees it needs to be addressed. The issue seems to be what way to address it. That is why we need to report those with mental issues and harmful tendencies.
you really think that? because whenever guns are brought up, the NRA cronies either freak out or try to pass the buck. both of those behaviors ignore the problem…
I don’t think the NRA is the cause or the solution in this situation. They don’t control the guns or the shooters. Personal responsibility is paramount.
Yes, I believe that most people committing mass shootings, have left crumbs and signs that should have been caught and reported. Many mass shootings are prevented because watchful people turned in the issues.
Another lunatic on the loose.
The killer is dead now, so it’s in the hands of a higher power. Hopefully someone will report people with mental defects.
