was thinking and why he would do such a horrible thing, instead of

It all depends on how you view the problem, i.e. as a one
off or as a possible trend in an increasingly polarized
society.

I for one hope the authorities immediately run tox scans
[blood and hair] for *EVERYTHING* including heavy metal
contamination and bad dope, then run a complete CAT/PET scan
of his head to determine if any organic abnormalities such a
tumors or diseases such as syphilis are present.

Then after organic causes are eliminated [or possibly
concurrently] do a complete psych work-up and life style
analysis for possible profiling.

{For a nightmare scenario imagine that some group has
learned how to use a combination of drugs, sex and hypnosis
to create programmed assassins with no thought of self
preservation from suitable individuals, ala Charlie Manson.
It is only a short step to domestic suicide bombers AKA
organic smart bombs -- some assembly required. Even worse
would be to discover that some combination of chemicals in
junk foods and/or the environment [insecticides?] eliminate
the normal drive for self preservation and promote hyper
aggression, ala steroids/roid rage in some people}

What ever the outcome of the tests and evaluations he must
never be allowed loose.

Until a complete physical and psych workup is done, we are
just like the radical left making assumptions and crying for
gun confiscation as a cure all/panacea.


And then we dust off ole Sparky?

Possibly...

For one thing think of the costs involved. Because of the
US byzantine appeals system, it now costs more to ice a cold
blooded killer than the keep him locked up for life, even if
he is 22 years old.

For another thing, it would be very helpful for profilers,
forensic psychiatrists, security specialists, etc. to have a
real live captive shooter to observe and talk to, even if he
is just another "bad ass looser," was on bad dope or has
some sort of a brain tumor. "Long-haired pot smoking hippy"
is not much more to build a
preventative/predictave/protective program on than "ban all
guns."



Correction. Long haired, pot smoking, extremely liberal, atheist,
Constitution hating, Communist Manifesto reading, flag burning
loving, dope head hippy.
