Is there a mass shooting that *hasn’t* been done by a head case? if you commit a small crime today such as shoplifting, you can end up having to report to a parole officer. So WHY the F are psychopaths like this constantly allowed to run amok? His own family, which we have seen in countless cases before, called the authorities on him saying he was “extremely erratic”. Yet here he is left to his own devices, nobody checking up on him and once again people get killed.
One of the most boring and overrated books I ever read in my life. Supposedly Mark Chapman killed John Lennon because he thought he was Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the rye, saving kids from jumping off the cliff. He saw Lennon as a bad influence on kids, getting them into drugs, so he Mark Chapman was going to save them by shooting Lennon. And of course, like this case in Georgia, the gun is blamed not the fact that someone with mental issues was allowed to run amok. Can you believe Mark Chapman told his wife he wanted to kill John Lennon and she told other people and nobody did anything, even when she found out her flew to New York city.
Just like all the mass shooters today, Jared Laughner, James Holmes, Seung Cho, plenty of people knew these guys had serious mental issues and ho-hum nobody ever does anything about it, not that they can anyway because if they call the police the cops really can’t do anything unless a law is broken. So basically the psycho is allowed to run amok. We have a major problem in this country where threats are allowed and nothing is done until people are killed. In the old days the “men in the white coats” would come and take someone away who was obviously having mental issues. That does not happen anymore when it should. If someone gets hit by a car, they are not left to “wander the streets” because they “haven’t committed a crime”. They are taken away to the hospital to be treated. So why the F is someone with severe mental issues left alone? This is EXACTLY why all these mass killing are happening and NOBODY debates it. Instead, all we get is the same old crap “Gun laws gun laws gun laws gun laws” 10 billion gun laws on top of gun laws and guess what? The shootings keep happening. Why? Because nobody is looking at the cause: MENTAL ILLNESS.
