Thousand Oaks gunman went from Marine vet to mass shooter. (Insightful Facebook Post)
KRTV ^ | Nov 9, 2018

Authorities have identified a Facebook post believed to have been made by the shooter around the time of the attack, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the ongoing investigation.

In it, the writer says: “I hope people call me insane… (laughing emojis).. wouldn’t that just be a big ball of irony? Yeah.. I’m insane, but the only thing you people do after these shootings is ‘hopes and prayers’.. or ‘keep you in my thoughts’… every time… and wonder why these keep happening…”

When CNN read the post to a friend of Long’s, who did not want to be publicly identified, the friend said, “That does not sound like Ian to me at all. I don’t know what was going through his head when he wrote this. It must have been terrible.”

Maybe it’s a hoax. Or a hack.

Why do they keep happening? Because we emptied the asylums and let doped up crazies walk among us. A better question would be WHY DIDN’T THIS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, 60 YEARS AGO, WHEN SCHOOL BOYS HAD THEIR GUNS IN SCHOOL? If you voted for the liberals who emptied the asylums, drove God out of the public square, destroyed traditional morality and the Family THEN YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

The mother of one of the dead railed against thoughts and prayers too and demanded gun control.

Lock up the loonies.

Yeah, that was always a Riddle to me as to why people didn’t always go killing people when there were far more lenient gun rules.

Someone really needs to look into his intake of anti-anxiety mood-altering drugs. So far, I see no mention of it, nor of his combat experience if any. Psychotropic drugs have figured in all these shootings, including the Las Vegas one. Who is going to let us know about this apct in this one? Big pharma?

It’s fascinating that we are experiencing exactly what the Apostle says will happen to a society that rejects God. Romans 1.

Someone should point out to her that it was someone on her very own team who killed her son/daughter, not a gun.

When an adult goes for a mass killing, there is frequently a military connection. Start with Charles Whitman, and track it forward.

“Lock up the loonies”

The obvious ones, yes, but it’s expensive and easy to “lock up” people that are in fact harmless to society.

How about armed citizens who could kill a shooter on the spot. Simpler and cheaper.

the pills don’t cure them. they make them pass for normal until they don’t

unfit to own a gun, probably not a good idea to let them run around loose on society either

"Yeah, that was always a Riddle to me as to why people didn’t always go killing people when there were far more lenient gun rules."

Most of us had parents who didn't separate easily back then, because most parents didn't drink much, do drugs or look for sex elsewhere.

I have my doubts on PTSD being related or if the murderer even had it. He freaked out and violently attacked his track coach in high school. He served one tour in Afghanistan. What specifically happened which could cause PTSD? Or did he just have an ordinary tour and was already a borderline nutball? How is it that thousands of veterans that have PTSD don’t go on murderous rampages? Idiot reporters are smearing every veteran with this guy’s madness.

and locked up doesn’t have to mean an institution.

Put them at home with a legal guardian.

If they cannot be held accountable for their actions by reason of insanity, then they cannot be out and about unsupervised.

These all started at the time the "magic bullet" (supposedly) drugs were introduced and psychos were loosed en masse from the centers meant to keep them out of circulation.

Haven't you figured that out yet? If not, you're not alone. To begin to overcome this state of suffering because of information withheld by the mental health industry, Read Robert Whitaker's "Mad in America" ans "Anatomy of an Epidemic", and visit his web site:

Consider what was done to Kavanaugh. We had a real good look at the root of the problem right there. And look at something else that really made those harpies mad: Justice Kavanaugh’s wife and kids, with him and close to him.

The problem was called misogamy in better days (used in English in the 1650s). Look it up.
