[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 627194, member: 1514"] I am posting this here not to cause another big argument about gun control but maybe this poor young man's family may find us by googling his name. I heard on TV yesterday about the mass shooting. It was a horrible tragedy for all involved. I listened so closely to the news about his 140 page manifesto and his rants on Youtube. This was a very troubled young man however he was also a very intelligent person too. I can see how he was able to fool anyone who tried to get him help. Right now from what I can see people are trying to blame the parents for not getting him the help he needed but we all know how incredibly difficult that can be, especially once the person becomes an adult. Its so hard even if they are a child. I dont know what the answers are but I do know we have to do something different. I do believe this young man's family believed he had a problem because they sent the police to check on him in April. Most likely their simple fears werent enough to get him 5150'd. Oddly this boy sounded much like my mother with his delusional, black and white thinking. He lived in a world he built up in his mind that didnt much resemble the real world. [/QUOTE]
