I don’t think so....the amount of planning, over the duration of time he planned for this, tells me it was simply his desire for revenge against the students and teachers at his former school. I think unfair for people to dwell on why and how could this have happened....clearly he was set on doing this ...and did.

Ah yes, the classic ‘feign ignorance’ excuse. This is so common place in our society, no one even blinks anymore when it comes out. Yet there were people at the school who reported the ‘monster’ but they never knew. Sure.

How easily people lie.

If he is outpatient you can refuse treatment if he’s 15. If he’s brought in as a medical emergency Psychiatric Services takes over abd the state assigns him to a local Long-Term Care Mental Facility.

He can refuse treatment if he’s 15 years or older. At least that’s the way it is in Virginia if it’s deemed a non medical emergency or law enforcement emergency. Which means he’s a physical danger to himself or others around him. Apparently he was never committed as a medical emergency.

Again, I have an Autism Spectrum Disorder son and we’ve been through this once or twice in the last 2 years. My son was being physically abused by one of his friends and he had a nervous breakdown and one or two relapses.

Too bad. nicest kid in the world. : (

“...how he obtained a firearm is beyond mind boggling.”

Florida allows 18-year-olds to buy/own rifles?

“They are getting ready for lawsuits .”

That’s gonna happen no matter what they say, even just loot-farming lawyers rolling the dice.

“In some photos he does look like an FLK (funny looking kid), but I would have a hard time defending that as part of my diagnostic reasoning.”

That never stopped any of the girls at my high school turning me down.

What do you do at work? Sounds interesting.

“Memories begin at conception” Don’t know about that for sure.

But I was shocked when all my very newborns were shocked when they heard my voice for the first time.

Interesting post. Thank you.
