Discussion: Guardian: TV Gunman Had Been Ordered To Get Medical Help Or Lose Job

Discussion for article #239819

Not a surprise that he needed medical/mental help. We should be doing a much better job at providing such services to those who need them. However, it is the access to a gun which turned his issues into this kind of tragedy. When will we learn?

With our country’s gun lobby and laws, you get one free crack at committing mayhem with firearms.
This kind of thing should happen once in a century. In the US, it’s a daily occurrence.

Narcissism and anger issues. Basically a personality disorder as opposed to some serious mental illness.

It was still a missed opportunity to avert this tragedy. Any contact I had with the mental health industry has been a poor experience. Maybe I’ve been unlucky, but it seems you have to have money in this country to get a shrink worth a dam.
