Why was the ladder there?

Good question. It doesn't make much sense. Why a gun? A car would have been substantially more efficient if I'm thinking darkly. It was a parade on a road. I don't think killers are obviously all that intelligent though. *Not promoting stuff like this, just stating the obvious.

Are we too quick to diagnose and medicate these days or is it the opposite, not enough people are being diagnosed and medicated?

I think that question starts with the understanding that more people are being diagnosed and medicated than ever before

But is our society causing more people to need diagnosis and medication than ever before?

Age 25 to have a gun.

YES! BECAUSE LV SHOOTER WAS 25 (+40)!!!!

There’s a reason a teenager cannot rent a car.

They found the brain isn’t fully developed in general before age 25.

Can't rent before 25, but can own before legal to drive.

We over medicate for profits. This is 100% true. Unruly 10 year old Billy punched a kid. He needs medicine for that now. I'm a firm believer that the medicine is worse than what the outcome would have been naturally.

Or in an extreme case a micro dose of shrooms or small dose of weed like 1-2mg would be better. Instead we pump kids full of shit that 99.9% of us have zero clue what it is or does because we've never had it. I'll never put something into my kids body that I haven't had unless it was for cancer or disease I've never had. Dosing a kid on some medicine you've never had yourself is dangerous in my opinion.

And no one saw a pink-haired dude climbing up a ladder with a long rifle or rifle in a bag?

I don't disagree. It's not a fathomable act. Even for those that are disgruntled. You die or end up in prison for life in these situations. I'd expect more from a retard to be honest. It either was forced or someone is that mentally ill that no one noticed. Tough to decide what it was either way.

Crimo threatened his family with a sword, police responded and siezed it, in April 2019.

In September 2019 he threatened suicide, almost 20 knives taken from him (he wasn't poor).

Repeal the LPS laws state-by-state.

Really hard to believe that dweeb was capable of it. He seemed to be a LARPer bouncing off the various insanities of the age. Perfect patsy, but still improbable shooter.

This. IMO

If you think that medical/psychiatric help can fix “mental illness” then I will ask the obvious question: are there more mentally ill people now as a percentage of the population than there were 100 years ago? Or are there just more people in general with no moral compass and no hope for a brighter future?

Our society is not building respect for human life, and there is little to indicate that things are going to improve, in fact if you think America (the idea of America as land of free and home of the brave) will ever rise to the heights attained by the previous generation then you must have cracked into Ceffer’s stash of Hopium. Until we start to value human life and human liberty above profits and sexual deviants we are digging our own graves.

Have an uncle who's lived in Highland Park forever. My aunt and cousin where at the parade, neither was hurt.

Have we established what meds he was on, and which three letter agency coached him?

Depends on where the ladder was located.
