El Paso attack: Suspect's mother 'phoned police before shooting'
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49275721?ocid=global_bbccom_email_08082019_top+news+stories
there were signs of concern in both situations...........and yet.........
If the police did not want to deal with it.......they have the responsibility to refer the call to a service that is able to do so. The police could do well with some classes on sensitivity and how to LISTEN..
Seems that both could have been prevented.......
......and so until the next mass shooting......
People need to know who to call first so they call the cops instead of contacting one of numerous agencies who can get the ball rolling in the right direction. It's not hard to have a 72hr time out signed sealed and delivered.

Superior man believed he was acting on Trump's orders in attacking boy for wearing hat during national anthem

The attorney for a 39-year-old man charged with assaulting a child who didn't take his hat off for the national anthem says his client, compromised by a traumatic brain injury, believes he was acting on an order from President Donald Trump.

Superior resident Curt Brockway was charged Monday with felony assault on a minor. His defense attorney, Lance Jasper, told the Missoulian Wednesday the president's "rhetoric" contributed to the U.S. Army veteran's disposition when he choke-slammed a 13-year-old, fracturing his skull, at the Mineral County fairgrounds on Aug. 3.

"His commander in chief is telling people that if they kneel, they should be fired, or if they burn a flag, they should be punished," Jasper said. "He certainly didn't understand it was a crime."

Trump claims strong congressional support for strengthening background checks for gun buys, at odds with GOP statements


��I think we can do very meaningful background checks,�� President Trump told reporters shortly before departing for campaign fundraisers in New York. The president and Congress are under intense pressure to act after two mass shootings this past weekend left 31 dead and dozens injured.

In response, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Kentucky Republican has not endorsed any legislation at this point.

"The research is absolutely clear," Maté says. "The more inequality in a society, the more hate, the more dysfunction, the more mental illness, the more physical illness." It should come as no surprise, then, that we see more addiction and more mass shootings since "the inequality is rising all the time." Violence against racial, ethnic, or religious groups "is a manifestation of a society that foments division amongst people and sets people against each other."
