People who want to blame the mother fail to realize that this kid was 20 years old — an adult who couldn’t be pushed around physically or legally or otherwise.

He was old enough to refuse to go to the doctor or take his medication or to be committed for psychiatric care.

And what is her recourse??? kick him out of the house to facilitate his meltdown??? have him arrested for a crime that he has not committed yet???

She had few choices other than doing what she was doing, and who would have guessed that he would go crazy like this.

Seriously?!!!

Here’s a thought...she could have put trigger locks on her weapons and hid the keys. She could have put them in a gun safe and kept the combination to herself.

Yeah...it’s really THAT simple.

And just for the record, I don’t WANT to blame her, I’m simply placing the blame where it belongs...with an idiot who allowed her mentally ill son to have access to her weapons.

What recourse indeed. For pity sake.
