If Bloomberg’s deepest sympathies were with the family, he wouldn’t use this as an opportunity to get on his soapbox about gun control.

Anytime he feels people are watching news anywhere in the nation - there is bloomberg putting himself into it. He is so needy for some creditability yet doesn't even know all the facts in this case.

The most dangerous place ANYONE can be is between Bloomturd or Shroomer and a TV camera after a murder spree.

“He has a girlfriend and drives and labeled autistic?”

I believe it was reported (earlier here on FR) that the brother (Ryan) had said that he (Adam) had a “developmental disorder” and I also recall something called “Asperger’s” being mentioned.

A google of “Asperger” led to this URL:
http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/mental-health-aspergers-syndrome
…. which provides a detailed (2 pages) but easily read explanation of what that is, which seems to be related -remotely- to autism but in which the person may be quite functional, even moreso than someone with autism (specifically).

If that’s the case, Adam was probably reasonably able to drive, etc.

Again, he may have experienced “developmental” problems earlier on, but he seemed quite able to plan this and execute it.

Still a lot to be learned here. I sense it will be a few days before the whole story can be pieced together into a “followable timeline”.

A twenty-year-old—perhaps using his brother’s ID to get into bars?

Thank you. That makes more sense - that it may be Asperger’s.

I don't think it was meant as an explanation. It's just info the brother offered. The police ask for whatever he knows about his brother.

That’s exactly why we will never come up with a computer that matches the human brain because soooo many things can go wrong. We have intellect but at the price of instability. There are sooooo so so so so so many people I know that match all those symptoms you listed.
