Editor:
Another mass killing by a mentally ill young man! He had a form of autism along with a mental illness and he was able to buy guns to kill innocent people who represented ones who rejected him. Why wasn’t a background check done? Didn’t his parents know he was dangerous? When are we going to confine mentally ill dangerous people and supervise their medication?! They need supervision. He wouldn’t take the pills.
Most of the mental hospitals in this country closed years ago and the mass killings have increased. We’re all at risk.
We need to contact our representatives and insist laws change back to being able to confine the dangerously mentally ill!
