mental illness is tricky to diagnose & to treat. it does rely strongly on the mentally ill to be fully honest about it. this dumbass didnt want to address it & let his illness get the better of him in a lonely moment.
but making a blanket ban on anyone who may or does exhibit any mental illness is a fools errand. most people are not clinically insane. many people are temporarily depressed due to seasons, job, wife etc. lots of doctors analyzed adam lanza. that didnt prevent tragedy, nobody saw it coming. Just like nobody saw this coming.
there is no good solution to mental illness. really need the patient to make the effort to get diagnosed, take meds avoid triggers etc. hard to do, & impossible for outside people to assess danger. the deadliest people are the quiet ones, not the obvious nutjobs.
