@dewdawotts
there is a sickening amount of cases where adults are made aware of children's mental health issues and yet they do nothing about it
@astroblemeRC
The mother knew all the issues and drove him to a gun store, fearing he would commit suicide and allowed him to purchase a firearm.... I think the mother might be a major factor to the issue.
@schtew.
8:13 from ages 3-12 my little brother would punch me, bite me, pull handfuls of hair from my scalp, scratch me, and hit me with objects almost daily... he (finally) went to a psychologist at age 14 and they determined there is nothing wrong with him......... sometimes i wonder wtf psychs for adolescents are actually doing
@VeganLiberation762
I am truly baffled as to how this was allowed to happen in the first place. This person was reported to police repeatedly and showed several warning signs
@nicolegrace188
im sorry but the mannequin hanging in his closet sent chills down my spine. how could his mom ignore such a red flag.
@stateparker87
The system failed all of those people. Shout out to Judy for being so brave and getting all of those people hidden even when it was possible she would be shot. Just horrifying
@scott8919
Mom: "My son has mental issues." Also mom: drives kid to gun shop to buy gun
@AmyStackAmyEmily
What angers me is that a lot of psychologists, etc. don't take things like this seriously, and then seem genuinely surprised that a tragedy like this takes place.
@yezki8
"I don't want to WASTE MY TIME doing something like that. ITS A HASSLE" This is a clear red flag. Brandon's first argument on that is not about humanity or the unthinkable, but he said he "has no time" or too lazy to do it. He doesn't understand morale and emotion, so he express his excuse with a logical explanation. A clear sign of sociopathic disorder
@smidgen
Ugh. "because of the company's no cell phone policy in certain areas of the building, some victims were unable to call for help" hits like a punch in the gut..
@LottieTrueman
Nah bro even put my little pony stickers on his guns....how can u be obsessed with a show about love, kindness and friendship and not learn anything??
@co10urs_72
the fact his condition was so bad that he decided to kill multiple people including himself over applejack is shocking. The more shocking part is that nobody handled his condition properly.
@peterburman5193
There was a guy who lived in a dorm across from me who was obsessed with My Little Pony. Less than two weeks into the freshman semester, he got rejected by a girl and promptly threatened to bomb our school. Needless to say he got booted out pretty quickly.
@John-mm2yl
That employee feeling bad for the guy who was there for only a week is so sad. Rip to all these victims.
@rai4119
That flying into a rage in the middle of a water fight? I work at a clinic with children with developmental disabilities, and it is EXACTLY like that if the child lacks functional communication skills and uses physical aggression as their main coping mechanism. I've been scratched, bitten, kicked, for doing something as simple as "it's time to go potty!" or "Let me wipe your nose!"
@sarahdedrick79
Does nobody think that a kid wearing 3 pairs of shorts at a time might have been sexually abused? That's pretty common knowledge that kids that feel the need to layer like that tend to have someone around them usually at home that is abusing them...
@MrWarners14
Depression, anxiety and My Little Pony don’t inherently cause people to be killers. He was clearly an unhinged individual with no respect for human life. He obviously didn’t take any of the valuable lessons from the show seriously because despite his obsession, he clearly needed help for other more serious mental reasons. It’s completely shameful what he did. A horrible tragedy.
@boyapollo808
This is insane. There were red flags EVERYWHERE. The mother and psychologists failed that kid. He literally f*cking told them he was a danger. Absolutely tragic. My heart goes to the victims and their families.
@viveillyvi
This reminds me of a case at my school: the year aftee i graduated (2021), a 13 year old attacked a classmate with a knife. The boy was severely injured but thankfully, he survived and they managed to hold the attacker in the classroom until the police arrived. The judge basically told him "ur a bad boy dont do that again" Nothing happened. No prison since you cant go to prison wih 13 in germany, but also no psychatry or anything. 2 Weeks later he murdered a 12 year old in the woods with a knife. This could have been so easily prevented. The worst thing is, I heard of him being set free again and my friends and I were certain he would try to do it again but we couldnt do anything about it. It was so obvious something really bad was going to happen but the peole who could actually do something about it just didnt care. Its a lot more shocking to hear a story like this in germany because that stuff doesnt happen here so often (e.g. there were 8 school shootings in germany since its founding)
