Another thing I’ve been thinking about. What about having a group of law enforcement officials and mental health professionals that creep social media looking for these kind of posts like the shooter had posted. In many cases there are signs and hints online of what these kids are up to. Most are dealing with depression, many have photos with their weapons posted online. If the guns aren’t going away then maybe we need to have a group of professionals dedicated solely to looking for, tracking and eventually making contact with people that fit these sorts of profiles. I’m sure it would be an enormous task but it would be something, right? I think some of these shooters could be reached if officials were organized and actively looking for these kinds of things online.
I don’t know, maybe that’s an impossible thing. The internet is a big place.
