Shooter was white male in his mid 20's, ex military who shared photos of his guns on facebook

So of course, Faux News had joined the dots and said this proves he was converted to
radical Islam and this is an international terrorist attack.

I personally thought its more likely to maybe be a PTS issue.

There are people who have romantic fixations on killing people. Thus, they buy instruments to do it efficiently. They exist and are mostly just leading ordinary lives. No dx necessary. We live in a country that glorifies violence, the people who commit it, and especially the most effective instruments.

only thoughts and prayers in the likely chance that a mass shooter is just an angry white man. Wouldn't want to have to walk back the thought that perhaps some action should be taken.
