Post Traumatic Stress disorder has been mentioned as a factor in the mass shooting in California this week. The young man had seen action. However I read an article from a credible source that said his high school track coach said he had attacked her. She did not report it. That suggests to me that he had anger issues early on and could have had mental issues then.
Some things we will never know. It does seem that the moral fabric of our society is torn in a way that I have never realized or at least not been aware of in my long life. I don't know if it is how we are raising our children, handing them over early to others, or if it has to do with the enormous problem of drug addiction, or if we as a society have turned away from rules and are playing some game of see what I can get away with.
I am sure I am not alone in saying it breaks my heart.
