His gun turned out to be an airsoft pistol. We'll probably never know why he did this. I'm just glad no one, other than the perp, was killed.

Really perplexing.

When will America figure out it’s not a gun issue it’s a mental health issue. (Many of the medicines that are suppose to make living in society possible are making some patients worse)

Very sad. It may have been suicide by cop.

I worked for over a year as a night attendant at an asylum
back in the 1970’s while I was trying to pay for going to college.
The only thing I learned from the experience was that you should
not spend too much time trying to understand why crazy people
do the things that they do.
Just accept that they are crazy and therefore they do crazy things.
That’s all there is to it, really.

He was earlier said by many in media to be a 51-year-old white man.

I was at a university where feminists campaigned against the old asylums. They complained that most of the mental patients were women and that husbands and male psychiatrists too easily put their wives in mental institutions. University feminists and their associated women’s studies, psychology, social work and nursing departments around the country ended asylums. Ever since, the psychs. hastily prescribe drugs to patients and spit them back out to the streets.

Contrary to popular myth, most people diagnosed as being mentally ill are harmless to others. They simply behave in obviously abnormal ways and most often only cause minor harm to themselves. Most incidents of violence by far are initiated by people not previously diagnosed as being mentally ill.

I'm in favor of the following for reasons that would not be obvious to most.

UPDATE:Do you think people should be allowed to carry guns in public?

For example, we've seen increasingly more anti-social behavior on our roads. Some might call it an increase in incidents of insane behavior. Maybe.

I stay off of the roads more than most, prefer technical projects at home and like to avoid spending much on fuel or any other unnecessary item (except for materials for tech. projects like home heating energy, tools, transportation, agriculture, etc.).

Be careful, productive at home, and let problems decrease through outbreaks of mutual road rage or even hysteria leading to random events of interlocking fire in suburbs.

One does not need to spend more money or generate more debt/revenues in order to be happy. ;-)

We’ll probably never know why he did this.

...

Paranoid schizophrenia and suicide by cop are the leading theories.

I’d like to know his immigration status and history. Was he legal/illegal? Was he an anchor baby? I didn’t see any info on that in the article.
