He was autistic. Unfortunately. Isolated, paranoid, made fun of, constantly alone, spiraling further and further out of control into dementia. His parents failed him, the school failed him, Social Services failed him, the local hospital psychiatric outpatient services failed him, the FBI failed him, local law enforcement failed him,. The boys should have been on psychiatric drugs. I knew this kid had Asperger’s, autism spectrum disorder the first time I saw his picture.
How anybody did not see this and get him treatment let alone how he obtained a firearm is beyond mind boggling.
So true. He was picked on and bullied, without enough support at home to steel himself against it. I knew that would be the case the minute I heard the story.
I think you really nailed it. He had big problems and everyone knew it. His problems were ignored and allowed to fester. Even if he hadn’t had violent tendencies that’s a pretty sad commentary.
psychiatric outpatient services, the liberal progressives do not want to lock these people away and treat them in a confined monitored environment this is considered cruel and unusual punishment so they allow mentally ill adults to roam free and take their medication responsibly, yeah right.
