The children were slaughtered. They were slaughtered. They weren't slaughtered by anything else, but, guns. They were slaughtered. Making summations about this being a mental health issue is disrespecting their deaths.
Mental Illness is not a cultural issue. Mental illness is a medical problem. Medical problems are a SYMPTOM of a culture but is not the culture itself. If people smoke tobacco, they get lung cancer. If they indulge in a culture of violence they seek weapons.
These 'experts' about how 19 year olds often manifest their schizophrenia which has been latent all those years are wrong. The brain at that age is undergoing changes and those changes allow all sorts of behavior. Any parent of a nineteen year old knows how difficult they can be.
Schizophrenia occurs in many, many cultures. It is not an American phenomena. Japan has people with schizophrenia, they don't go around slaughtering children.
Aspergers is not the issue. Absolutely not the issue and the media needs to stop victimizing those with Asperger Syndrome.
The very good evidence will be interesting, but, there will no reason for the slaughter. There is no reason, expect, there are too many guns on the street. If the shooter's mother didn't own and brandish guns as a center to her joy, she'd be alive right now. She might still have a difficult son to deal with, but, she would be alive. Somehow that isn't suppose to mean something? Either a nation values the lives of their citizens or it doesn't. These deaths could have been prevented but wasn't.
