Did this guy ever show signs of mental illness?
He was definitely odd. But a lot of people are odd. Hell, I'm pretty introverted IRL and don't normally talk a lot. Some people probably think I'm odd.
TBH, I don't think you can do much to stop these things.
Gun control is just a non starter politically, and even if there was a consensus, how do you get rid of the hundreds of millions of guns already in circulation?
We do need better access to mental health, but if you go around locking up people who aren't what society considers normal, you're going to lock up 99 harmless people for every 1 potential murderer.
Then there are sites like 4chan where unstable people find validation, and sometimes encouragement to act on their ideation. What do you do about that without restricting freedom of speech for the rest of us?
I think this is just a hazard of life, unfortunately. And we're getting desensitized to it. This time next week we'll have forgotten all about it, until the next time.
