Iirc, that day that we were at that house, one of us called the owner and LE talked to them and gave them an option of directly releasing the dog, or they'd file charges. They felt that was the quickest way to get the dog out of there. It was winter, no food, no water, and no shelter, patches of hair gone, and a rack of bones. I was honestly ticked at the neighbor b/c the dog did not get that way overnight, and then out there yelling at us. Our shelter has a skeleton crew but I have to give them credit, they work hard, and rarely ever have to euth, unless it's just for mercy.
You are correct. There is no cure for a personality disorder. However, they can change themselves. If consequences of an action(s) become uncomfortable for them, they will change that behaviour(s). However, they may repeat that action, many times, (because they must), before the consequences become so uncomfortable for them that they change that behaviour(s). At least this is how it has been explained to me, in layman's terms. :sigh:
From what I understand, he shot DK at least once, maybe twice but the shots were not lethal, it was after that DK then shot himself.

Access to gunsI wonder why the US is the leader ?
I do not think violent video games are positive for any reason.
Why do you feel males in other countries are not shooting people all of the time? The same and even worse video games than in the US are available
Guns really do not decide by themselves to shoot people.Access to guns

The US has at least TRIPLE the amount of guns per person as every other country in the world.

Thank you for advocating for this person.There isn't a ICD10 for pure evil, but I'm with other posters that believe it is evil in some people. I believe in mental illnesses, and have had a range of different diagnosis in people that I'm close with. Sadly, in every single case that I'm aware of, the help needed is severely lacking. Like three different times in two different emergencies rooms, I've been with someone having an anxiety attack, with hyperventilation and the person unresponsive to commands. Each time the patient was put in an area with lots of people, THE HALLWAY!, to 'shame them' into stopping the attack. Naturally that only makes the attack worse, but neither hospital would listen and I did file a grievence but to my knowledge nothing was done. They refused to give a STAT dose of Ativan, or Valium to stop the attack, they refused to prescribe anything at all. Sooo tonight, I've spent the last 5 hrs with another person, not going to the darn hospital, and within the last hour, they finally went to sleep after exhaustion from the anxiety attack. This should NOT be the way!
Google patient shot in Lynchburg VA emergency room....same place I've dealt with. Person was in a crisis, parent brought them in, I think it was 7hrs later, STILL in the ER, patient became combative, tried to remove security officers taser, and was shot. The man is now paralyzed for life, and of course all the physical illnesses have now compounded his mental ones....
THIS are of health we need lots more funding, and a major overhaul! I don't know if it's lack of knowledge, lack of compassion, feeling those of us with mental health needs are lesser than in society, or what the heck is wrong...but it is.
The person today? Had been without their meds for almost 3 days, and yet, was at the darn doc office TODAY, and the office was going to call in their scripts instead of handing them a written script. The scripts weren't called in. The person went to the office today, missing work, because the script was suppose to have been called in Tues, wasn't, and then yesterday they called and complained and was told the script would be faxed over, it wasn't. So I ended up having to call the on call doctor, explaining that the meds missed were not meds that should be abruptly stopped and the condition the patient was in. Thankfully she called in the scripts to another pharmacy that was still open, and I picked them up Completely could have been avoided...

Everytown or the Brady Foundation may have those statistics online for you.I've got an angle I've been thinking about for a while which requires more research on my part.
What percentage of the last 20 mass shooters were in their 20s (and early 30s)? I know that the Vegas Shooter and the Planned Parenthood shooter were older, but it seems many of these guys are in their 20s?
(Eta: not necessarily....)
Thats what I said earlier and all the signs are there that this is what he was, even without a formal assessment. Look up anti social personality disorder in the DSM V and it will list much of what is known about him. Stating this is likely the case or labeling wont shut down discussion. IMO he was what he was and stating he likely was a psychopath changes nothing but at least gives a starting point into trying understand the hows and whys this happened. In order to do that you have to understand their unique reasoning. Thats my take anyway
So he got suspended for horseplay, but not groping a girl.Four allegations of sexual abuse, harassment made against Sutherland Springs gunman
http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/lo...-of-sexual-abuse-harassment-made-12338750.php
'He harassed me any time I was in school'
Another woman, choosing to go by her middle name Alexandra, told mySA.com, Kelley shoved and groped her in the halls at New Braunfels High School during her 2008-2009 freshman year. He would make lewd comments toward her, and "slapped" her buttocks at least once, Alexandra said.
Alexandra's mother, Gail F., said her daughter disclosed the harassment to her in 2008 and they reported it to the high school.
"He harassed me any time I was in school," Alexandra said. "I reported what I could to the school, but nothing was ever done."
NBISD Director of Communications Rebecca Villarreal said she had no way of confirming Alexandra's claim. The alleged harassment occurred under a previous administrator and no report appears in school records provided by the district by mySA.
Under stress from a constant barrage of comments and unwanted touches, Alexandra said she began to suffer from memory loss. Alexandra left the school in spring 2010.
A discipline report obtained by mySA.com from NBISD shows Kelley was put in out-of-school suspension six times between 2004 and 2009 for various offenses including, horse play, possession/sale of drugs, profane language and insubordination.
Kelley graduated from New Braunfels High School in 2009 and began service in the U.S. Air Force on Jan. 5, 2010, according to records.
Devin Kelley clearly has behavioral problems. He is a clear cut bully. That is not surprising. Omar Mateen and Eric Harris had history of bullying.
Bullying is likely a factor as they can have history of violence.
Read about what has been done and still continues to be done to Native Americans, Read about slavery in the US. Read about Papua New Guiana today. Read about the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico right now.
Were the men who raped their slaves such as Thomas Jefferson evil?
I have not heard of this neurotransmitter test. I have heard of the DNA testing to find what meds are more likely to work and which ones may make it worse. But for some reason it's being poo-pooed a lot in articles because we don't have enough evidence yet that it works - but we do have anecdotal evidence. Well, if insurance paid for the darn test, we'd find out more, and it would be cost effective because it could avoid inpatient treatment and hospital trips when the meds go very wrong. Saves the patient years of 6 month experiments on this and that psych med.Oh it was horrible I retired in 05 but man the stuff I saw i am sure it much worse now days
a real sad part of this (there are only a few ) but there are thirty day injectables for some suffering with schizophrenia
its expensive but think about quality of life the overall costs related with repeated admits for 24-72 hrs
one injection every 30 days insurance won't cover it
what a waste -- both in terms of life and money but no
most of the stuff out there is garbage.
that too is sad
controversial yes -- but at least it something -- neurotransmitter testing
they kits you can now buy yourself
hey if your serotonin comes in low and your on a med that lowers serotonin ...........
IMO if one can afford it do it -- at least it gives a bit of direction
Docs don't endorse it quietly (In western countries), think -- if they could get closer to managing ones neurotransmitters visits could be spaced out
after my doc got me situated my reg doc prescribes -- i dont need to go in every 30 days be asked if i feel like killing myself or people and handed a Rx for $80
so many of the docs I worked with could care less -- its legal drug dealing IMO I did have the pleasure of working alongside some awesome ones also
i did it twice ,years ago, about 6 months apart one urine and one mouth and the results correlated
big pharm know most of them do little -- do we see endless commercials for a new kind of insulin?
Nope - cause it works
Big pharm is a racket imo --- and this was before they got allowed to advertise
you would not (I think its a lot better nowadays -- they are prohibited) believe the stuff drug reps would do
cater lunches -- a new med comes out and then they would pay for the doc and his family to go on vacation if they flipped enough pts over to the new one
and I was the one that lived the nightmares these people went thro while going thro med changes
and hey as a society we are paying for our societies indifference to mental illness
I think there are correlations on my end - career and not buying into god stuff -- i don't think people are "born" evil
its neurotransmitters and environmental imo
we still have not learned about the intensity of religion in his upbringing - I think it is going to be profound stuff in terms of his earlier years
jmo I think we are going to find a very bible thumping shame based family system as it relates to religion.
I think that a lot of that might have resulted in his profound and enduring mental problems being viewed as a choice as opposed to an illness
I keep getting like a lot of knife pulling on his family kinda stuff
i think he has been a scary person for a long long long time
I would like to know his meds history
jmo
Not just with medications - always therapy in conjunction, but specific symptoms of certain disorders can be treated with medications.
