Maybe if his family could not get him help, they should have at least taken his weapons. He might still be alive if they had handled their responsibility within their means.Yeah, why didnt his family get this guy help? They above all others would know how crazy he is.Maybe if there had been a social worker there when they tried to help him earlier he could have been directed towards actual help. It wouldn't have hurt to have one there anyway. The police are not equipped to address people having mental health issues.
I addressed this two or three times.
I kinda doubt he got it from them or they even knew he had it. Even then maybe he has no immediate family.
See, that would be *MY* point.
You people on the left, have this bonkers idea that "well if we had a social worker go talk to him earlier....."
You act as if everyone has this omniscient knowledge of the world. That they would know that so-and-so has a mental problem.
How would everyone know that? Years ago, we had a lady in the same condo housing block that I'm in, kill herself. No one knew she was having problems. No one. She's out walking her dog, and then next day, there's a bunch of police and ambulances by her place.
We had a man kill himself about 10 years ago. He just stopped showing up for work. The employer got nervous, and had a coworker that knew him a little bit, call his phone. No answer, so they pulled out his contact, and called his parents. The parents went to his house... he was dead. No one knew.
You don't what is going on in someone's mind. You don't know when people are having a break down on the inside, that you can't see.
This ridiculous idea that if we only had more social workers, that Utopia would ensue, is crazy.
And further, maybe you missed it, but Government is lousy at this to begin with. Down in Florida at that school shooting, there were dozens of warning signs, and the government simply refused to do anything about it.
It's not the brilliant solution everything claims.
