"... Combs said the place where Ator lived was “a strange residence” and that the condition reflected “what his mental state was going into this.” He didn’t elaborate...."

..... The use of the term "Strange Residence" .... Tells me that his place of domicile contained a scenario and items they didn't expect to find. I wonder what they found? I wonder what he was involved with?

We need to listen to the 911 response and the FBI’s response.
Did they take him seriously? Did they ask his location? Did
they offer to help him, especially the FBI? Did they try to talk
him down before he went postal or was he put on hold?
Or did he get the dang electronic menu - press 1 for ....?
Or have their tapes been erased already!

I don’t know anything about the conditions there or his company, so you may very well be right. The articles have said long haul, but that may be his license class and have had nothing to do with his actual job.

In any case, looking at this guy’s situation according to people who lived around him, I’m amazed that he even had a job. Drugs may have been part of his problem, but it looks to me like it went deeper than that.

Sounds like this one could have been put in jail (NOT “prison”) just for being disorderly and disturbing the peace at work. Could’ve at least been delayed, observed, maybe given advice on what to do next by the legal types watching him.

“[[[Mental health issue. This is the problem no one wants to address.]]]

And one the left has absolutely no interest in”

That’s entirely out of self preservation.

Life comes with the risk of death. Sad but unavoidable.

Curtailing the liberty of the innocent does not ameliorate that risk.

Where is your source for 9 kids? The only place I saw that was the absurd “mylife” postings that retarded morons think are accurate even though anyone can edit them on the fly.

FWIW, the article linked above says the perp did place a call to the FBI’s tip line.

>>So in a way he went postal and NO gun law would have stopped this crime<<

Sounds like folks that lived around him knew he was off. The dude has had the cops called on him, also had a record. To top it off...HE called 911 AND the wonderful agency called the FBI...and they did nothing.

You’re correct...no law would have stopped this.

It’s worse than that. As the Parkland shooter case demonstrated, the best way to bury a tip about a potential spree shooter is to report it to the FBI, while the best way to spill newsworthy classified information is to pass it along to the FBI’s senior leadership for dissemination to the news media.

While I understand good people work at the FBI and they try to do the right thing, can we conclude that after Comey and others have been charge of the FBI, that a culture of decay has taken hold and that the entire organization has become...well...ineffective?

Just saying...the facts seems to point to this conclusion.

“...called both police and the FBI...”

Best way to stay off the FBI radar...call them up. Better yet, tell them you aren’t interested in learning how to land because you are just going to fly into buildings and won’t need to land.
