Sick yes.
The lack of situational awareness got me in that video. Sure the cameraman had his back turned, but you see the gun out and pointed, but a fair bit of time before the shooter starts shooting. The person being interviewed paying attention to her peripheral vision might have noticed and reacted, and possibly the newswoman might have noticed as well though her angle is steeper away from the shooter. Also, if the guy was a former station employee and had known issues might one of the two from the station noticed him hanging around and kept an eye on him?
I'm not blaming the victims for such a terrible crime committed by another person who is the one bearing full blame. It just brings to mind several of the recent and past threads about situational awareness.
Condolences to the family and friends of those shot. Truly sad that the politicians and anti-constitutionalist are so fast to bath themselves in the blood of innocents to push their agenda.
I can add to that, It's obvious for the employer to quote that "he had issues" I would expect that, after all they want no blame in this.
So what I mean by that is the hostile unprofessional greedy employers. I have seen sane men go insane because of the work environment. I've seen employees sacrifice personal time from Birthdays/anniversaries & vacations to work for their company, be there for them for years!
My employer I have been here for 25 years and I have seen them drop dedicated employees of 12 plus years and it's awful the mental things they do to these people. From asking them to put family time on hold, to insult their language barrier, make fun of their short vocabulary, not agree with their dress attire. Promotions passed up because his hair was to long, you name it. Then top it off with a greedy boss. Yea I have seen good people go insane from the mental abuse from bad employers that will not take any blame in why someone is angry all the time.
just had a 17 year veteran here at work that put in 70+ plus hours a week during busy seasons, sacrificed B-day, gave up vacation time and he gets Diabetes and has a bad 2 month ordeal of learning how to treat it. This guy misses 2 times a week it seemed, but that was what he was remembered by, and was termed from a job he needed and insurance to help. I will always be worried that this man could convince himself that he has the perfect reason to come back and end a few lives in his opinion.
Point is, what this man did was wrong and evil, but keep an open mind and not be surprised as to why he got this way. Employers can be cold and horrible!
Condolences to the family.
