    I hate that mental health is so inaccessible. Couple that with a dying human habitat, no future prospects and an abundance of fire arms, this is what you get.

    After the Madison shooting, a separate social media user noted their association and tweeted at the FBI, accusing Henderson and others of having prior warning. They “need to be locked up,” the poster said, “no questions asked.”

    The FBI declined to comment. After Henderson’s attack, social media users returned to the tweet: “hey so this guy literally just ended up calling a future school shooter a month ahead of time and the FBI did nothing about it.”

    This is so frustrating. Random twitter users can track and identify these fucking right wing lunatics better than our own alphabet agencies. And LEO once again proves completely useless.

      They are just continuing to break the social contract: they aren’t protecting us, they’re repressing us.

      Can they do it better or do they just make the effort?

      They’re only useless if you assume their purpose is to protect or help the public in any way. That’s not what they are for. The system is working as intended.

      The thing is, you can’t arrest people for potential future crimes (if they haven’t published concrete plans to do it anywhere). Unless the guy outright stated he was going to shoot up a school, there’s really nothing you can do, unless you want the FBI to start rounding up everyone that’s messaged anyone after they’ve done a crime.

        You sure as fuck can get them to keep an eye on such people if they were willing to do so.

          They only keep an eye on civil rights protestors and police accountability activists. You don’t want to give them more tools to do that.

            Using the same tools these non-cops are using anyway? Because that’s what happened. Non-cops were able to figure this out and keep tabs on these people without some sort of secret surveillance network.

            So many people see the world in black and white terms.

      The teenage girl shooter at the Christian school wasn’t right wing. And the African American shooter at Antioch was all kinds of messed up, if the manifesto that surfaced is true.

          I remember a classmate of mine in college thought Bill O’Reilly was “a flaming liberal”. They grew up in the nazi part of Idaho tho, so compared to my roommate Bill O’Reilly was.
