....”The police were at his house 39 times in 7 years and did nothing”......
I wouldn’t say the ‘law enforcement’ did nothing..... It certainly appears they did all possible within the laws governing what they could do... As also apparently the school and the authorities did as well. Up until the shooting he had broken no laws and no record of doing so.
As well..his mother certainly recognized and tried to get the guy help for several years.
I worked with a woman whose son was troubled from the age of ten....constantly in and out of jail and mental health clinics. Group homes etc...There’s actually groups of parents who meet because they’ve exhausted and fought the system for decades trying to ‘fix’ and get help for their kids. HE ended up shooting a taxi driver in the head for no reason at all....and went down after the police cornered him. HE fought back til the end.
So there’s more than just this shooter who the help given is denied eventually/completely and stuff as this will always happen ......it’s NOT that people haven’t tried....it’s you cannot institutionalize people that obviously need it against their will when they reach a certain age. You can thank the left for that, who closed institutions where many of these people belong.
The less seen factor is overall spirituality.
I find myself in a tough position right now. A sensitive soul, I still cannot be letting my jaw hang gaping open for just anybody. The old saw is true — bad company corrupts good morals. Both company of people and angels/demons. He is gone but others might be warned to try to improve the spiritual temperature both without and within.
