Sup with people wanting to injure others to bring notice to their suffering?

SUNNYVALE — A government defense auditor who served as an Army gunner in the Iraq war drove into a crowd of pedestrians in a busy Sunnyvale intersection Tuesday, apparently intentionally, injuring eight people including three children. An eyewitness to the crash said the man stumbled out of his car ranting, “I love you, Jesus.”


And when a parent feels this.. please call the police

His brother said Peoples had shown signs of post-traumatic stress disorder after returning from Iraq and had at one point been hospitalized for psychiatric issues. The brother said that their mother had spoken to Isaiah the day before the attack and said he seemed about to have “another one of those episodes.”


A war veteran who had been hospitalized for pyschiatric issues is having another one of those days... How many are out there suffering like this man

Vets shouldn't be dying in a VA parking lot

Existing mental health services for vets are clearly insufficient. From 2001 to 2014, vet suicides have jumped 32 percent. The problem is only going to get worse.

Too many VA facilities simply don't have enough staff to provide personalized care. Therapists are badly outnumbered and vets are hurried through their offices.

Sometimes, staffing shortages force facilities to simply turn vets away, leading to the grotesque phenomenon of desperate soldiers killing themselves on VA grounds.

One 51-year-old Persian Gulf War veteran set himself on fire in front of a New Jersey VA clinic after a canceled appointment (Vet set himself on fire after long VA waits, appointment cancellation, investigation finds). Another veteran shot himself in the waiting room of a VA medical center. A 76-year-old vet shot himself in the parking lot of his Long Island VA facility because "he went to the ER and was denied service," as a hospital employee explained to The New York Times.

He hoped the people he ran over were Muslims

Didn't get enough kills in the war?


Let's hope he wasn't a MAGAman

Was the synagogue killer a MAGAman?

PTSD needs to be moved to a higher priority. I can only imagine what happens to a person who actually knew he took a life. It has to play on the psyche
