[quote=Anonymous]It reminds me of the Tucson shooting—that young man has also been asked to leave his college due to specific concerns about violent statements made. It’s not just the mental health disorder—it’s that for this specific person, the mental health disorder is manifesting as violent tendencies. I think some of the “red flag” laws that some states are enacting help get at this problem, but only if the educational or other institutions make a report. I bet him dad and grandmother also had an idea of what was going on, and if there had been any mechanism for them to tell the state “please don’t allow my kid to get a gun” they would have. That was true in the Tucson case—the parents were very upset that there was not a way for them to get the son on a “no purchase” list unless he was convicted of something. In most cases, the people close to them know something is wrong but we refuse to give them the tools to protect themselves or the community. [/quote]
