I am always waiting for the next step in the MI blame game, keeping lists of the MI, public health records, heck, homeland security can do it, they do so well with no fly lists they let terrorists onto airplanes, etc., what could go wrong? Guy goes into a pdoc cause he has a bit of anxiety and boom, he will be banned from guns, schools, and movie theaters....forever. They blame MI because they cant do gun control and need to look like they are doing something. (BTW I don't think new gun laws are the answer).
The thing I think they should address is the way the media treats these people. They call them the 'alleged shooter' instead of murderer. They make them famous by non stop showing their picture and using their name. They show where they lived, what they thought, read their 'manifesto' and interview the neighbors and his second grade teacher. So it becomes a one up for these guys. Now they are actually saying in their manifestos or notes or whatever 'I think the guys that did columbine are heros'. if they would stop treating these guys like movie stars and more like the murdering scumbags they are I think that would go a long way to helping this problem.
The media is just starting to catch on to this and I applaud the sheriff in this case for trying to not let his name out, and for the few news people that have started to not name them and show the victims pictures instead of the murdering scumbags.
