Gun violence & Hate crime in the United States - Sticky

[Davey Crockett]

The chat group which I belong to is made up of mostly retired police officers. We've been discussing this evening:

Armed bystander fatally shoots suspected teen gunman after 3 children, 1 adult killed at Oregon school: feds

Three children and a teacher were killed after a gunman forced his way into Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, by firing at locked doors.

What we all suspect is the kid is not a Trump supporter, MAGA, or right-wing extremist. If the shooter was, it would have been all over the news.

Their assessment is either trans or on mood altering drugs or perhaps both. And, there is likely a manifesto.

A tragedy. No word about any SSRI drugs prescribed. Did catch an anonymous comment on a local FB group Griffin was allegedly using street drugs. (Can see that as a real possibility)

Update: Griffin's father is from the Siletz Tribe. Digging deeper, appears drug trafficking is a major problem with this tribe.

August 3, 2018..... Griffin's mother....

DUII — Shauntai May Nickerson, 35, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants at 1:37 a.m. July 29, in the 900 block of NE Warner Place.

Then add in the fact he was a special ed student.

I can't get invested into these tragic stories because the politicians and pharmaceutical elites that did this will never face justice.
