As soon as he ended up floating flotsam at a Community College his mothers rage worsened. She expected a lot from her sons and this kid just…. gave up on trying to be worthy of a mothers attention. These feelings simmered on low heat until he finally exploded.
Completely sane indeed. Now they want to claim mental issues….
Why is he alive?
Don't bring mental help in this. Excuses, excuses. He's evil
This is not a mental problem with this guy, he track and scope out this store and planned it, and did it. Killed 10 people and wounded 3.
He aint got no fuckin Mental Health issues.. HE PLANNED THIS.
This man had no mental issues other than the hate of people of color. He threatened his school graduation last year. His 180 page manifesto laid out completely step by step what his plans were. He even stated he is not insane. He is of sound mind. He is not an alleged shooter he is the shooter. Again, the way he was treated in being taken in sure is differently than the way these cops treat Black people and Latinos. He needs the death penalty with a quickness. Soft handed cops saw one of their own – their son, brother, nephew, cousin, etc. in this scumbag that's why they treated him so kindly. But they kill my brothers with a cell phone in their hands that the cops mistook for a gun and were not found guilty of any crime. He chose that store because of the age of the average shopper. This was an elder community. He wouldn't dare go into a community with young people because, legal or not, someone would be strapped. Smh.
Mental Health???? Evilness is not a mental health issue! Hate is not a mental health issue! "When we have white male shooters….." stop giving hateful, racist, evil white males an excuse. What if his family and friends have the same hateful views; why would they be inclined to report his behavior?
Why did this little demon have access to weapons? His parents need to be held accountable.
MENTAL HEALTH FOR WHYTEY. LOL.. WOW..but not Chicago..or Baltimore..right?? No ..ok.. 😈 hypocrisy from the Caucasians..
TYPICAL WHYYTE SUPREMACIST EXCUSE. ALL WHYTE FOLK EMBRACE IT. THEREFORE ALL COMPLICIT…a 😈 people they are..
America is greedy, hateful and gun happy. "Mental Health Awareness" is the answer.
targeted individual see Everard case.
Straight up bs. The news always try and spend a narrative when a white person kills innocent people that he must have mental illness. We heard that before stop it.
China is using mass spectroscopy you suck abc am a stock holder for your parent company amd spit on your little owners tell the scum in ABC new york their next
So mental health are talking mass experimentation with spectroscopy and the same drugs that get rebranded with pareent companies that own you abc the fake industry that is designed around placebos with sound engineering being the electromotive Townsend needed to produce anxiety you fake with dynomo engine…kidneys
You never acknowledge mononucleosis as data so you'll never cure terrorism hahahahahah they died because your medical system can't see past our hue men condition ..that because it's our natrual bits that trendsend….. he couldn't ……fear in our broca interpretation and a fixed logic gate for third person as if a conversation were to happen schizophrenic have a fixed amygdala this could of been avoided if you listened but you have too acknowledge so called hallucinations on cellular level if not their will be another shooting in a few weeks while incubation begins Para……magnitise
So we just gonna skip past him saying white male mass shooters only???
Wait the red flag law didn’t work? That’s weird
They always make excuses for these monsters.
So the forefathers had to be mentally ill?!?
I’m asking for myself!
I was waiting for it!
I have mental health issues never thought about killing other race.
NO MENTAL HEALTH!
He saw a European American with his rifle and skipped over him while saying sorry.
He knew was he was doing.
hes a monster and just evil he's not "mentally ill"
No excuse, He's white he knew what he was doing. Don't excuse from him.
Interesting how gently the police handled this vicious killer who killed one of their own in addition to all of the other innocent people!
I wonder if, on the way to jail, they stopped at MacDonalds and picked him up a Happy Mail??
It's all B.S. EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS FOR A FACT IF THE SHOOTER WAS BLACK/HISPANIC HE WOULD BE DEAD NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
lol a white male making an excuse for another white male………….shocked
Mental health???
I didn’t know being racist was a mental health issue
Please ask for – and post – the shooters blood toxicology report. Was one done at all?
Demand it. Post it.
Why is the psychiatrist conducting the interview from his kitchen? Thats my question.
In re to this mental health excuse, GTFOH
