[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 342247"] Yep, so sad. Apparently the guy was a genius (well, he was at Tech after all, right), but also a tortured soul. Tried to commit suicide a couple years ago and had battled mental illness for a long time. I feel sad for his family but for the officers involved too. Seems like a valid shoot from everything I could see. Sure, it didn't have to happen, but the entire series of events was caused by the kid. From interviews I've read with his friends and his Mom, they enabled at least part of his mental illness. His Mom said he wanted to be referred to as "they", so in her statements she says things like "they seemed to be doing fine" and so on. What in the name of Sam Hill?! To be at one of the premier science schools in the nation and to deny science is a toxic mix. Enabling this type of behavior may seem irrelevant, tangential, and inconsequential, but I believe it is a small window into the larger issue - that he was not getting the help and treatment that he needed.
