Elliot Rodgers is proof that better access to mental health care won't necessarily solve this, since he'd been in therapy since the age of 9.

I wouldn't call Elliot Rodgers a good case study. From what it seems like, his parents were distant enablers of his toxic behavior. He didn't take his medication at all.

There are certain shoes and sandals, that while very trendy right now, I won’t buy because I think about how if I had to run in a mass shooting event, they would fly off my feet or cause me to trip. These are the things I think about as an American.

Not to remove the sweet from the bittersweet, but how the heck does that even work? Is the money in trust and if so who holds the reigns?

I always think about that too. And I don't know how gofundmes get verified or even if they do so that leaves me a bit skeptical. It's very popular though so that gives it some credit. I guess.

Is that the Christian one that promotes defense funds for white supremacists and hate groups? I know one of them has loads of Christian religious poo poo all over it and also has a real boner for hate groups, and I imagine that their internal oversight is slightly more opaque than a black hole.

Chasing the dream.
Cool cool cool so these recent videos drudged up a memory I suppressed of the last time I went to the fair in my hometown. I was with my friends waiting in line for a ride one moment and then the next I was on the ground being trampled by a panicked crowd because someone pulled a gun and everyone was running. I had some pretty crazy bruises the next day but was otherwise OK. I went to the fair every year and never went again after that and I don't like crowds so much.

The IL parade shooter drove to Madison, WI (while on the run) and contemplated doing another shooting, but didn't, thank god. :stare:

He's also apparently obsessed with Agent 47 and the number 47 in general, so clearly video games AND rap did this.

id say therapy would probably help some like klebold who were hangers on and had actual mental issues same with a couple of others, but a bunch were just broken sociopaths looking for one big high or weird political psychos.

He successfully left the mission area undetected, should've dressed as a clown to disguise himself.

quote:

In September 2019, a family member told Highland Park police that Crimo had threatened to “kill everyone,” said Christopher Covelli, a spokesman for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force. Officers visited Crimo’s home and confiscated 16 knives, a dagger and a sword, but made no arrest, Covelli said on Tuesday, because they lacked probable cause. However, they notified Illinois State Police, he said.

Months later, in December, Crimo applied for a firearm owner’s identification card, the document required to possess a gun in Illinois. Because Crimo was under 21 at the time, state law required him to have the consent of a parent or guardian before he could own a firearm or ammunition. According to state police, which issues the cards, Crimo’s father sponsored the permit application.
