Pretty sad. I wonder what happened to him- seems so normal and promising

I think he might have had delusions. He told people he was studying at Brown in 2025, but he wasn’t. Not enrolled. He was living in DC.

Maybe his parents told him if not an Ivy why even bother?

What are we writing fanfic now?

He enlisted as an infantryman. Something tells me his parents aren't Ivy snobs.

Things can happen,
We call them things.
If you were shot, from a standpoint of shooting,
Get well fast.

And to the families that are no longer with us,
Thank you very much.

The person of interest authorities took into custody in connection with the shooting at Brown University is Benjamin Erickson, a 24-year-old Army veteran originally from Wisconsin, who may recently have lived in D.C., two people briefed on the investigation told The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity. He was taken into custody at a hotel about 15 miles from campus in Providence, authorities said.

Guns. Guns. Guns. Control guns. Period. We can always assign a label to a shooter of mentally ill, extremist, homophobic, antisemitic, Islamophopic, gangsters, fentanyl addict, disgruntled or this and that but in the end, guns are the common link in most of these tragedies. No one in their right mind go on to do killing sprees but no one in right mind should be making guns easily available to mentally unstable people.

Is it a typical DC area thing to tell people something other than truth? "What do you do?" Um, work in "research." (Wink wink) ? "Where do you go to college?" "Brown" ??

Did they release names of the students who are no more?

If he had a knife, he would not have killed two people and injured nine others. Guns are the problem. We need to get rid of guns. Period.

Well he’s probably Norwegian but if we deported all the Norwegians from Wisconsin, we’d have no cheese!

Or at the very least keep a better eye on the mental health of our American infantryman who have a lot of guns.

She taught economics primarily

Does Laura Loomer just make stuff up? Why is she so popular?

What DSM are we abiding by when we call people mentally unstable? Because there are a lot of people out here who are mentally unstable by older standards that have been whitewashed to protect people’s feelings. Let’s be honest.

How do you propose doing that?
