    I was thinking it’d be good for the cops to “corner him” and then for him to take his own life with one of the guns his father gave him back. Kind of a form of poetic justice for the father being such a dumb as.

    I love my boys. But if they were like that, a gun is the last thing I would think about giving them.
    The father needs to be charged as an accessory.

    ... anyone notice the CBS report that said the shooters girl friend was one of the injured victims shot in the leg.

    It gets more interesting. Waffle House (WH) has a national gun free policy and in the last incident (armed robbery attempt, Charlston SC, 2015) took issue with the security guard patron who stopped the shooting and saved lives with his CC. Only cops are allowed to be armed per WH policy. WH still defended it's inane policy in wake of the security guard saving lives.

    Now the interesting part, Tennessee recently enacted a state law that places liability squarely on the business if said business chooses to placard as a gun free zone. OK, I'm no lawyer and I didn't sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night but if one of the killed or injured was a legal CC, then Waffle House inc. may have a new owner...

    Sad that the parents did not get the boy help.

    Sure confirms why people should go concealed carry, though. At least have a fighting chance to stop it instead of waiting for the mag to empty.

    Sadly there is often no recourse to get nutjobs like him help. Mental health pros and his parents needed to get him committed when he tried to kill Trump. That was his ticket to the looney bin, and nobody made sure it happened.
