Does seem odd that there was not something filed to create a red flag when he bought a gun. Heck, I was threatened with arrest just for talking back to a city cop.
The 39 calls were over a 7 year period which means they started when he was around 10-11-12 etc. The stories I’ve read do not say he was the instigator of the disturbances. He may have been a victim of abuse, or, raised by parents who assaulted each other often. Or maybe he was a victim/witness for the first 30 calls and then a participant once he got old enough to hit back.
In any case I can’t help but wonder even if it was not this killer, but if the cops had arrested his dad or brother or mother and prosecuted them and stripped them of their rights if that wouldn’t possibly be a life lesson to change the course of his life. Or maybe he would have been taken in by CPS even if only temporary - again, a shock that might change the course of one’s life.. It’s all speculation I know but it seems we can be pissed at FBI for many good reasons right now, but there may also be a breakdown inside the local LE agencies as well.
This story is heart wrenching as it is. If we find out this kid was abused/beaten by his parents it would only make it more tortured. I would not excuse this murder one iota even if he was abused as a child. He is murdering scum. But it would certainly just pile on the anguish to know of a kid raised in suffering and how this contributes to sociopathy.
