You know too many people have been conditioned to believe they can act on emotions as if they are the only person that matters. You can’t risk other lives and blame mental health or trauma. You live in a society of people. Act accordingly. There will always be consequences This is unacceptable and unfortunate. I am glad the children, hospital staff, and police are safe
Yeah let’s fire shots and the district is 500ft away 🤨🤨🤦🏿♂️
@HpFish07 right.:
Not everything but a Lot of things stim from some mental health issue., not an excuse an unfortunate reality.,
Go have your head examined.
Mental illness may be an explanation, but it is NEVER an excuse. I’ve known many mentally ill people, and none of them are firing shots near children’s hospitals.
