I heard he was on antidepressants that cause out breaks like this. Either way I do think that people should have done is something before hand. It's not hard to tell if someone is crazy.
And if you are going die---if someone is pointing a gun at you---then aren't you going to, at all costs, try to stop him. I mean tackle him from behind or something?

People who are psychotic have delusions. A simplistic explanation is that the brain has an excess of the neurotransmitter dopamine in relation to serotonin, norepinephrine and other neurotransmitters. Anti-psychotic drugs alter the metabolism of these brain neurotransmitters. A psychiatrist (who is a medical doctor) prescribes medication for patients that have mental illness. Many patients do not have further delusions if they take the anti-psychotic medication as prescribed every day. Although they are still mentally ill. They are able to function in a job or school. If he stops taking the medication, the delusions will return.
It is like a person with hypertension who takes medication. He still has the problem but the medication "controls" the hypertension (high blood pressure). It he stops taking the medication, the blood pressure will go back to being abnormally high.
No one is "locked up" when they are children for being a psycho.
Anita Godfrey, president of the Mental Health Association of Broward County, said that many people recovering from mental illness lead productive lives. "Mental illness alone is not a predictor of violent crime," she said.
Godfrey noted that the onset of serious mental illness often occurs between ages 17 and 24. In many cases, the person refuses to believe he is ill and does not comply with treatment or medication.

the problem is trying to figure out if someone is just a psycho or someone that can be helped.
there are plenty of people that come off similar to the way cho did but people where able to help them.
and there where those that couldn't be saved.

he was being treated for something last year and diagnosed to be a danger to himself and others. My guess is that he was schiz but didn't take his meds. Often in mental health patients stop taking their meds when they think they are better. But with this kind of illness you can't really do that. The other thing is that somewhere in his life must have been some kind of taunting going on about his social status otherwise where did the hatred to the rich come from?

As a matter of fact, if he would have gone to counselling and he did have paranoid schizophrenia (psychosis), there are treatments/drugs that are very effective and are 100% safe. But since he didn't undergo therapy or receive treatment, this is the outcome. Keep in mind psychosis is developed in the brain and has nothing to do with being teased or bullied, it's a mental illness.

people who are true phycos or criminal master minds , make sure they slip through the net and dont want any to suspect anything so they can give you the shock factor. they make sure to maintain a low profile , so they can be free to execute their final plan.
im a psycho too! thats how i know, im not the kind to hurt other people tho , thats not my style.

How do you make a psycho, though?
My guess is that by teasing and bullying him through grade school, high school, and college, he became a psycho.
Do you have your answer now?

He should've been banned from the college and locked up in a funny farm.
