The shooter was a mentally ill kid who was on the radar but our broken mental health “care” system did nothing. Again.
Mental Health care is a thing of the past. They emptied out and closed all the asylums long ago and put them all on the streets.
I’m not so sure the mental health system failed him. His peers, parents, and teachers failed to recognize his problems and take action. I haven’t read anything yet that says he was in counseling/treatment.
Don’t get me wrong. The mental health care system is in shambles. I just don’t believe he was referred to it. He was just another lost kid without a father shuffling through the government school system.
