I have steered away from the news reports, so I am not adding to my own problems. Though it has snuck through on my home page and FB. I pray for those that have lost thier lives and those missing them. But the evil? That can be found in anyone under extreme stress. or current coping disabilities. Myself included!.

As one time having the police called on me for saying" I can understand why someone would blow themselves up in your parking lot", after 8 months of fighting red tape to get my husband help with life extending medical costs.
A few more on top of that for me.

I do not believe this type of exasperation is "evil", but speaks to the amount of red tape put in place due to lack of personnel to do face to face meets with the clients. Since what can be assessed in a few minutes could cover tons of paperwork to get to the point.

Sorry for the rant, but John passed from complications sooner, because of stress being added into the mix, of his terminal cancer. The red tape exasperating his already stressed system, by the representatives of social welfare agencies.

I don't know. I just don't know. I don't think there are any easy answers. I have been off all psych meds for a few weeks now because of side effects. I have times I feel a rage that is pretty powerful. Lucky for me it passes fairly quickly. It comes back then goes away. This is the reason I don't own guns. Seriously.

I know guns don't kill but he should have not had access because he became so swallowed up by his rage and selfish anger that he couldn't stop and guns make it easy.

I am ashamed to say that yes....I can understand how it happens. Wish I could say how to stop it.

Lilly's right, as always happens more information comes out and now it seems the perpetrator reported hearing voices to doctors at the VA, which seems like a symptom beyond PTSD, as Lilly said.

So sad today as the photos of the fallen were published on the news. Prayers for their families, friends, and loved ones.
