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
