Sometimes, I don't think there's really much that can be done differently when someone is wired that way. When I listened to BK's dad during the traffic stop -- I got the clear impression that he was trying to talk-up his son because he feared the reaction his son would have after they drove off. Like he had to moderate the discussion to keep BK from going dark. MOOSo what makes BK different? What intervention, program, redirection could modeled him differently. You're right, there are lots of being bearing countless diagnoses, disorders, unique-orders who might remain on the periphery but would never even think of hurting anyone else. I feel for his parents, who must have thought he finally launched, a PhD program, a job as a TA, living on his own. But he was brooding. Plotting. Planning.
And now four young adults are dead.
Sad really, that that's what he picked to aspire to.
Why, just why?

But, for sure, his parents probably thought (or hoped) that he'd finally found his niche and that he would finally outgrow his demons. I feel sorry for his family and for the families of the victims.
