I do a little volunteering with the homeless and I have seen those suffering from schizophrenia go into the hospital for 24 hours to stabilize. They usually go to another facility after that for up to two weeks to completely sort out their medication. I don’t know anything about this shooter but a short stay in the hospital isn’t unusual.
In the past our news consumption was far less. Limited to the daily newspaper or radio show or tv show the news did not dominate our day. Now we have unlimited news, we can click forever, seeing disaster after disaster until we are immune to feelings of sympathy or we become stuck in the muck of outrage or depression. We can use this forum in any way we want within the rules but I would suggest we can find more to do than simply list every shooting we can find across the world. Maybe we need a sticky called “todays shooting outrage” so those interested can post there.
I agree. I see a lot of outrage, but individuals other than Lemon Drop don't seem to personally be making any effort, based on self reporting.
