Default Re: What's the frequency, Colorado?

Sad. And now the News plays the blame game. He's white so clearly there's no terrorist agenda... Maybe movies made him do it! Or Comics, evil comics!
One report said there were military officers in the crowd, clearly if they couldn't do anything to stop this guy, I doubt arming random people will (especially arming them with weapons that go through walls).

Of course all of these "solutions" are after the fact, someone has to be shot or killed before he can be stopped with lethal force and that doesn't seem like much of a solution. Better mental health screenings and support might do it, but that's hard and complicated and no one wants to do that. Considering the guy was not only loaded down but wired his apartment up with traps, I'm guessing there were signs that could have been seen to get him help before this. After all, contrary to most news reports, people rarely "just snap."
