The problem is, what do you do with these "warning signs" considering that there are many young men showing the same signs but vast majority of them don't commit mass killings.

I wish I had the answer.

Fox News reporting Gunman's father found dead in NJ
 
Why are people setting up pages for this guy? Artist and public figure pages.
 
wonder if the father is dead in NJ.

This is just awful. Awful.

I really don
t have anything useful to contribute. Just too shocked and numb.
 
The strange thing he seems to have lived with his father in NJ and didnt even live with his mom.

Maybe he wanted to move in with her and she told him to grow up and live on his own.

Jmo and speculation.

I don't do social media but wondered if there was any indication of the alleged suspect's educational and/or employment history?
 
Exactly. I really don't think there is much anyone can do. In most cases, I don't believe anyone would be able to predict this sort of thing.

There is no way to predict this. If there was they would stop the ones who do it before it happens.

A lot of people are depressed even clinically depressed but they dont go on rampages and hurt people. If they hurt anyone it is usually themselves only.

IMO
 
Lots of holiday activities sure to be cancelled this weekend, including school programs, etc. I think I am staying away from shopping malls. My God what is happening to this world?

Maybe his parents told him to get a freakin' job and support himself!

Ignore...ignore ...ignore!! THAT is a HUGE problem in our society...!! Until (like today) it is too late...

That's because there's this pervasive attitude of, "hey, whatever makes you happy." Obviously, not going out and killing people, but if it makes you happy to be a loner, or someone enmeshed in the dark, morbid subculture out there, then hey, anything goes!

I havent searched either Betty but I dont think it will be all that long before we will know that.

The picture of the guy on the twitter we have linked does not look like the picture of the guy whose FB we have linked. I think the twitter link might be the wrong Ryan Lanza.

ETA= THE FB WE LINKED IS WRONG GUY. BUT I THIONK THE TWITTER IS RIGHT GUY!!!!

I agree. But what if someone tried to get him help, he was in counseling, etc. It's not like they can just lock him up because he may or may not be a danger to society. I think sooo many times, as I said in another post, this behavior comes as a huge shock to everyone around the shooter.

Just heard a dr say, "We don't need metal detectors, we need mental health detectors." AMEN. When are we going to stop this madness
 
Are you serious???

I think they were referring to his mom, being dead at home in NJ (?).

ETA: reading upthread, I see reports that it is the DAD who was killed in NJ? I heard mom, but maybe they just don't know. (I was wondering, if it was his mom, why no one mentioned that his mom hadn't reported to school today...)
