Sexually frustrated shooter kills seven

[GommeInc]

If he has Asperger's, I'm surprised he didn't have a social worker with him. Usually people with Aspergers needs help, because it's with the rationalization, right?
I only know a vague understanding of Asperger's...

Essentially yes, or good parents/guardians who will look after them. Sufferers shouldn't be left alone, especially ones who don't appear to have been taught how to behave in public. This seems to have been brewing for years. What's more is they failed to inform the police that he had it which could have saved a lot of lives or at least a lot of time.

That's sad, to be fair. Maybe with this media outburst in regards to this person will change how we help lower the risk of future situations like this one.
I have met people with Aspergers and they have dealt very well with crowds, and in public. I guess you're right- Those who work those people suffering from aspergers it's how they help teach them to act.

Again, a very sad situation.

Indeed, once they figure out how to act the symptoms become near enough non-existent. I've had to deal with people with Aspergers and autism in general, from school to now and essentially it's just a lot of patience and re-assurance.

Any medical articles will tell friends, relatives and guardians to keep a watchful eye on their behaviour and to not really leave them on their own. Why his parents thought he needed a car and chucked loads of things at him such as money was only going to make it worse as this will only lead people with the disorder to think this is normal and therefore can have anything they want. It's textbook that he would end up having problems with social interactions thinking people will interact with him, or in this case - women will flock to him, was only going to be foreseeable.

Maybe his parents were unaware of what aspergers were, or they were ignorant to it. Doctors must have told him, and for his parents to neglect that really is sad.
Most reasons that they must of thrown the money and vehicle at him was to keep him "occupied", and never thought it was an issue..
Aspergers and Autism is very similar in that they need special attention (I know Autism because my sister works with those with autism and she brings them home to interact with the family.. which is kind of cool).. none of those people look like they would hurt a fly.
Series of events most likely brought him to where we was, and yeah.

He had Asperger's, any parent with any number of braincells would know to keep a watchful eye over their children who have the disorder. Asperger's doesn't disappear when you reach the age of 22, it's incurable. I'm shocked you've never heard of it :/

What part of my post has lead you to believe i've never heard of Aspergers? Having Aspergers doesn't somehow enable his parents to magically stop him from making his own choices as an adult.

Interesting video onthe topic. Sorry if it's already been posted. I haven't been following the thread

Pretty much all of it where you ignore he has Aspergers and also where you think it is acceptable for parents to ignore their children who have the disorder. Having the disorder doesn't stop him from making decisions (seeing as he drove a car and shot dead people makes it pretty obvious so not sure why you said that), but parents are always advised to keep a watchful eye because of the dire issue of maybe this happening. The fact you ignore everything I've said about the parents:

1) Not informing the authorities
2) Having him live away from home
3) Chucking cars and money at him making him think he was entitled to everything.
4) Generally shrugging off the videos as being "worrying" without really taking any action themselves other than phoning the police suggesting "he's not their problem" given the fact they under 1)

...suggests you are not aware of the syndrome and what is expected of families, schools, friends and authorities when dealing with these issues.

It wouldn't surprise me they were embarrassed of the disorder and just let him run riot - ignorant of what the world might do to him and eventually led him to act.

I watched about a minute and decided she's a stupid girl trying to get some popularity out of a far complex issue than her mind can digest. "You want madness? This is madness!" and she asks "If he was mentally ill or had something wrong is yet to be seen". Clearly she's not read any article. She then goes on some neo-feministic rampage of self-righteousness. Yet to see her mention any sort of disorder and.... I've given up. She started talking about how masculinity refers to the social expectations that anyone with a penis is raised with. Sexist idiot. She also thinks masculinity is reserved for heterosexual males and that all straight men repress their feelings. Loads of blanket, tarring with the same brush statements for an already non-credible person.

Slap round the face, F- try again another day.

Okay so I've not read all these posts am I missing something? He was Autistic but I know lots of people who are Autistic who have their own life and are fine. I know an Autistic person who runs his own company for example. Autistic people are often just like me and you they just see things sometimes slightly different but that doesn't mean they don't know right from wrong.

You watched about a minute? She didn't say most of what you've mentioned until later in the video lol. As I said, I haven't read the debate you've all been having but are you one of the people who are saying "oh he did it because he has Aspergers"?

Guys please do not post video's of violence. It's really terrific or put it in a spoiler even.
Personally I am disgusted by the whole situation because nobody deserves to die I hope they've got the shooter and locked him up for good this is just .. really horrific. When I first heard I actually like felt something bad inside me I basically just felt so like wow. It really shocked me irregardless this person should have had control and stability.
