[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 399853, member: 135"] It seems obvious to us who deal with mental issues on a daily basis that this young man has big problems. However, I wonder how much of this will be covered in the press. So often when these things happen, we hear the political angle, we hear how the parents didn't do their job, we hear it is the food he ate, we hear that it is the easy availability of guns, we hear about all of these other things but we seldom hear that somebody like that was mentally deranged. I think society in general does not really want to admit that there are people with mental problems who go off the deep end and do things for which they are really not totally responsible. Time after time, the mental problems are played down and other factors are blamed. If society admits that people really do have problems this serious, then they will have to do something about it and at this point they don't really know what to do so they just keep ignoring the problem.
