Occasionally and not rushed to completion is the fact this man asked for mental health help and did not get it.
A news report showed an entire floor of inmates locked up indefinately in a Florida Jail with shortages of beds, running water and these men have not been charged. These conditions they were living in were sub human.

They are in for mental illness.
Florida has dedicated money to the separation of the mentally ill from the criminals.

Retrospective hypotheticals are of little use to anybody. The answer is maybe.
Answer by crabby_blindguy3
In all probablility if the VT shooter had gotten help, those 30+ people would still be alive. Nor is this a new realization. Even back in the 19th century, as prt fof the "Second Great Awakening" Christians instituted state reforms that established asylums for the mentally ill, instead of treatingthem like criminals.
Today, the fake "Christians" like Bush have stripped funding for mental health programs, including those for people in prison. And wonder why the crime rate is rising and why incidents like VT are on the rise. Perhaps they should try looking at the successes of LIBERAL Christians in the past, like those of that "Awakening" 150 years ago.
Or maybe just read the Sermon on the MOunt.

I agree with the first response, it is hard to "guess" if the medical treatment would prevent the tragedy. Mental illness is just unpredictable and no one can say for sure. But the gun issue and how easy it was for him to get his hand on one is alarming and could reasonably be avoided, that's why people focus on it instead.

When Al Gore was elected President he had a great plan for helping the mentally ill. Sadly Commander Bush installed himself as President.
I knew the VT shooter, Cho, in high school. He was very quiet. He kept to himself. He read comic books. He was very timid. I had to stand up for him against a ton of jerk jocks. It caused a few fights for me.
It's sad what those future frat jerks did to him.
I don't doubt for an instance that spoiled white jocks are to blame for him going nuts.
