@Region Philbis,
I understand people up in the air over gun laws. But, this guy had issues, like any other Serial Killer, fact of the matter is, he, is / was a Mass Murderer.
His face-book page, indeed, states " Anti- Gays" underneath his name, yet in 2009, he worked in Cafe's with a whole heap of guys who's chosen partners were of the same sex, according to them, he got on well with them, according to them, something must have changed.
He also badly wanted to be in the Police Force. It would be my thoughts that if he was investigated a couple of times by the FBI, no way would they ever allow him in the Police Force. If that was his underlying dream and it was taken away.... Most Mass Murderers have a point they reach before they decide to go out with a bang and take innocent lives with them, no matter whether it's a school, night club, it's always a public place with a lot of people.
No doubt they will find that he looked up Mass Murderers and their destructions on the Internet, prior to and for how long is anyone's guess.
They were "people". They died because of another mentally ill person whereby something triggered. Should this wanna be Cop have been able to have such a forceful gun, or any gun. Obviously not. But, it's the "person" behind it that killed those innocent men and women.
It's claimed his ex-wife escaped him, via her Family, getting her out, that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to her on-going.
It's claimed by his Father that in front of his now wife and son, that he saw two men kissing and that is why he did what he did.
It's claimed that he went to Church with his son, never said a word, smiled and left.
Was it an act also of Terrorism? I don't think that, that matters.
If he was abusive to his ex-wife to the extent her Family rescued her, his Family must also have known that he had issues, mentally.
What erks me, is that everyone walks away, no one says a word and then one day, like Elliot Rogers, these people go on a rampage then what, do they regret that they didn't want to believe there was an issue, or get that person help. Who knows.
