It is a tragedy beyond description and part of us dies along with the innocents.
When will we begin to address mental health prior to events like this happening?
I know this isn't the answer everyone wants to hear - but part of the issue is we have gotten too PC in regards to labeling those with mental health issues. The push to treat everyone the same is not working. Some people are just wired differently and need help or even institutionalized (which isn't an option when its not voluntarily done).
It starts at homes where parents are either not there, don't care or just overwhelmed by the issues their kids have.
These days, Public schools are used as daycares for kids with mental health issues and they are not equipped to handle or treat the issues. Those same kids go home and go to their bedroom where they proceed to play video games that desensitize them to violence and the value of a human life.
Then, these same kids who have basically been pushed through the system become adults and the cycle continues. They become ticking time bombs ready to unless on society.
There are signs left and right - but they just get pushed aside and ignored.
Something has to change
