Obviously we need to start arming pedestrians.

That makes this the first declared Friendzone Massacre. Maybe we should start pre-arresting socially inept males.

I think most of us could have been picked up in that sweep.

I smell privilege here, from Mr. Director's son.

He seemed like an okay-looking guy and as someone with money in Santa Barbara, should have been able to get dates no problem. I mean, Donald Sterling got action and he looks like fucking Quasimodo.

Which means that this guy must have put off a seriously creepy vibe, despite or perhaps because of his declarations of Nice Guy-ness.

Sure, I think he must be a kind of crazy that goes beyond
social ineptness - a sort of human ineptness maybe.

Does America have more crazy people than the rest of the world or just more crazy armed with guns? Too bad we won't be seeing that story on ABC news.

Does it really matter? From what I'm reading, this kid was even getting help and it didn't do much.

So the best we can do is to put deterrents into place and just... let the mentally ill with guns not be deterred. Right?

Well considering any body with government funding effectively cannot study such things...

That vibe like he might one day snap and shoot a bunch of people?

It does appear the signs were there - with a parent warning police about him.
