- An American story.
Mental health, the forgotten national, state, and local health issue shame.
A bona fide inconvenient truth of America%u2019s people in need.
Add this tangible homeland safety issue to long list of unsettled American stories that next President of the United States of America must genuinely resolve.
Please refocus our US national priorities; leave no American behind.
Use US tax dollar to fix US issues at home, like a real comprehensive mental health treatment and support mandate.
Prevention, intervention, continuous active management vs. low priority, low budget, not my problem, not my department, revolving door brush off, write off too late melt down tragedy resulting in a 911 crisis repeated across the nation.
Charity begins at home; a proactive, assertive, comprehensive US citizen health strategy within our own national borders deserves our full support and attention.
How national and state elected officials take the initiative to support rather than react to Americans with mental health issues must be a barometer for all US citizens to measure successful or failing government. - Reply to this comment

- When you are able to love people with same passion you love you inanimate pieces of metal you may address us humans. Until then you are noting more than a pimple on the $ss of humanity who makes excused for the killings of innocents.

Nope. He wrote in, "I am Serpent481, God of the living flesh that burns in Helll. I cast my vote for...don''t tell me....it''ll come to me....it''s right on the tip of my forked tongue....oh yeah....now I remember....I cast my vote for Zhora, the snake-lady in Blade Runner! - Reply to this comment
- First of all, if everyone were bearing arms, he may have killed the first person, but it would have stopped there%u2026.so eff all you anti gun people. Second, I have worked with the mentally ill, on the medical side of it, and they do not want help, and they do not accept help, and they constantly refuse to take their medications, and they think they are cured all the time%u2026..I could go on and on. No, not all of htem, but MOST of them. Is that a failed system?? No. Anyone that thinks it%u2019s a failed system when an individual refuses accessible assistance is a blind fool. It%u2019s the person%u2019s fault, just like using a gun in an unethical manner is an individual person%u2019s fault.
We have gotten lazy in blaming the gun, blaming the system, blaming the music they are listening to, when we need to start putting blame where blame is due%u2026.on the person!
Any mom is going to stand behind their child and give excuses%u2026especially at such an early hour after the tragic accident.
I live here btw, I was driving northbound getting off on Kincaid when this whole mess was taking place. Of course I heard about it on the radio just seconds after I passed it. Sad, very very sad. - Reply to this comment

- They can''t get the help they need. Money..It cost money to get the care they need. It is spent on the illegal wars and not here at home. It is hopeless. Yet we are a 3rd world nation in alot of ways..If this was his way of begging for help he went about it wrong. Why did he do it. Will he get life or death..

- OK, so let''s say this is a case of a mentally disturbed person who had trouble getting the care he needed. However, he had no trouble getting a gun and using it, and then had no trouble making a sensible decision to surrender to police rather than being shot. Is mental illness an elective now?
