” This kid was probably exhibiting all of the classic signs of a time bomb, waiting to go off. And to top it off, he was supposedly playing with guns the night before the killing spree!!”
So - what would you have done if you had been sitting there with him?
I would have called the police, that night, and reported that he was dangerous. He had no business bringing a rifle into her home. She knew he had been in trouble. She knew his past history. She had heard his previous threats. She did NOTHING.
The next day, he called her 45 min before he went on his rampage. He expressed how unhappy and desperate he was. He told her there was a note that would explain everything and where to find it. You can disagree with me if you want, but I believe that last minute phone call was a plea for HELP. He wanted her to STOP HIM! Instead she found and read the note, it told how he was going to go out big .. and AGAIN .. she did .. NOTHING!!!!!
45 min BEFORE the rampage. She did NOTHING!!!! She went to work!
She was a Nurse and went to work. When the bodies began to arrive in ER of her hospital .. she immediately suspected it was him.
What would you have done? Even if the police did not react appropriately to such a report, I would have called them. It was the responsible thing to do.
