big difference between Loner and Troubled Loner. look at the things they found in this guy's room...hard to believe that none of this was spilling out into the parents' world.
they all lived in the same house for 23 years.
you are assuming he could have passed tests if he wanted to...what makes you so sure?
the core of this is that he never was tested, the parents never took the time or thought their child's actions were that suspect.
of course "it couldn't be my child, he was always such a nice boy" man that is a load of crap sentiment that has been flung around since day one about murderers and psychos.
whether it was denial or neglect, since this guy was still living with his parents they should be held responsible for never having his mental status evaluated.
blaming gun control or the lack thereof is a deflection.
