So what if the school had taken further action due to the report filed? Had the school interevned due to his depression and attention seeking comments, he probably would have just viewed it as the school making another attempt to... bring him down, keep him out of nursing school, whatever. From the sounds of his letter, it appears to me that he had gotten a feeling like everyone was out to get him.

Definately a waste. Coulda, shoulda, woulda......

It is easy to identify people who are paranoid. However, only a very small number of those people are actually dangerous. NO ONE, can really say which people are going to go off and which are not. Warning signs are increasing isolation and aggitation. Buying a gun is a bad sign, making threats is a bad sign. There are plenty of people who act like this and talk like this and never do anything. They create this fantasy world in which others are responsible for their problems. It is an escape for them to avoid taking responsiblity for their troubles, it is what blocks them from making progress. It is USA, the goverment, the aliens or the nursing professor, the guy down the street or Walt Disney. It is never them causing their own problems. If we had adequate mental health care in this country, most people in this state of mind would recieve attention. Events like this would be much less frequent. I refuse to blame the victims. PS This tirade failed to mention that many people turn to street drugs to help them deal with their mental state, needless to say things only get worse.

well said oramar. Ive had experiences with a person like that. nothing thay do is their fault. always looking over there sholder. and boy do they hold a grudge. If you have a bad day, and we have all had those days ware you just say something you didnt mean, they never forget. It could be 4 years later and they would remember and be spitefull because of it. boy you hit the nail on the head.

Walt Disney! I like that. He DID kill Bambi's mom, after all.
