    School Shooting in Chardon, OH. Shooter was a social outcast, bullied...

    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-57386487-504083/second-victim-of-chardon-high-school-shooting-rampage-russell-king-jr-dies-in-hospital/

     

    Being in the Northeast of Ohio this strikes "close to home".

     

    As soon as I heard, I had suspicions it was likely the work of a tortured soul lashing out at soceity using the only form of expression he had ever been taught: violence.

     

    Yet another example of how imperative it is we raise future humans not to speak that language, as it were.

    About the author: Dr. Frank Ochberg is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Michigan State University and former Associate Director of the National Institute of Mental Health.

    Why does America lead the world in school shootings?

    There is no single, certain answer to these questions. The possible factors include failure by classmates, parents and school officials to see the warning signs; bullying and revenge; serious mental illness; violent role models; drugs; access to guns, and a culture that condones extremism.

    What could possibly be the problem, I wonder?

    I wonder how likely it is he was taking psychotropic medication...
