And this controversy came about from from a student witness saying she was with the shooter, when shots got fired? _AFTER_ the fact?

was she not put on witness stand?!?!?

Well it wasn't much in the way of controversy. A blip on the radar really. It was just a claim that popped up

Pretty sure the shooter confessed but I'd have to go look again

A couple of the Vegas survivors also challenged the narrative. The issue is that witness testimony is shite

Same thing happens with most of the high profile police brutality/shooting cases. People claim shit that didn't happen, and they often claim it sincerely

forget about that.. HOW was a witness that claimed she was with an accused shooter, not put on witness stand??

That is impossible!

Probably because her testimony wasn't deemed relevant for either side's case

well that must mean she was either blind, psychotic, too mentally challenged, be considered as witness etc..

Ah there we go

Events were the other way around

And her testimony fit in

In a crisis situation it can be very difficult to keep straight what is happening.

But thought shots had come from the other end of the building

And basically that, yes

I've dealt with such confusion professionally when responding to a crisis or disaster

@DrYuriMom in such a situation you normally don't prioritize to get your ass in front of a cameria

We had a murder suicide come to the ED that we thought at first was a double murder with a free range shooter

Media comes around and interviews everyone

Lock down happened but we soon realized the police just didn't want to accept a mother murdered her son and then herself and the boyfriend was innocently walking a dog through it all.

It was a therapy inducing nightmare all around.

@DrYuriMom Mind telling me what city that was?

@DrYuriMom (i'm not calling you a liar, i'm just a bit shocked, and surprised, that such a situation could have such an impact on police as to be special memorable case)

That's a pretty fucked up case. It'd be fairly memorable I would think

aye, though not that unusual, sadly enough

But maybe it was an otherwise peaceful, low crime, area

its a pretty fucked up case that is not as uncommon as it should be

I either watch too much American news, or americans don't know what's going on in their country news-wise... I think i can pick tree such cases off the top of my head even :/ When a mother literally broiled her child in a oven :/

one case, the mother kept facebook messaging the father at work, as she was killing his son..texting "I think he's dead" at the end, and them some crazy shit.

Three is not very many in the grand scheme of things

There's also a huge difference between hearing about something and being, to some degree, involved in the incident

aye

fuck this is depressing, even to someone with dysthymia

skid it back to fake news! "Nintedo; It's _CAPTURED_ American children" https://youtu.be/yt4KG9ib8S4

Tbh the main thing is that we don't currently tackle mental illness/disorders in an especially productive manner for the most part. This is the case in both Canada and the US. Here a lot of people with debilitating mental illness end up on the streets

maybe you guys should consider that _that_ ends up costing more than therapy?

Oh it absolutely does

Doubly so when you consider non monetary costs

*the party that got us into this mess provincially is the one trying to make a platform out of fixing it*

it's monetary as well, if only as insurance bills for the citizens
