Following up on my last post...
Holmes was being seen by a psychiatrist at the university: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...79fa76082223ee What kind of treatment was she giving to him? Did she prescribe meds? If so, then what? And what effect did they have on him? She has some pretty questionable info relating to her career, as well. A treatise on acupuncture to increase bust size? Getting caught abusing her access to psych meds for friends and family? Is she a "quack" doctor? Did she have a responsibility to help a patient in crisis but failed? This could be huge. Also, he apparently mailed her a notebook with very detailed information on his intentions to kill people, but it sat in a campus mailroom unopened for a week! I say again, the whole gun control debate and violent media debate are quite superficial compared to these questions. Also, check out this article on the history of rampage killers: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art...ra_114873.html History shows they tend to fit a certain social "type," often with similar problems or triggers, like job loss, extreme social isolation and/or dysfunction, post-traumatic stress and public humiliation. They tend to leave all sorts of warning signs and clues indicating their potential to snap. We can do something to prevent these incidents, but we have to look it from a different angle than the usual "need more/less guns" debates. | ||
