Heavily-armed man kills himself, rather than shoot up Colorado amusement park, authorities say

The American social safety net fails again. At least this time it was mostly contained.

Condolences to those who will remember him.

Sucks that he got to that point, but props for not going through with his plan.

Sounds like the good guy with the gun was the bad guy with the gun this time.

Charles Whitman — Texas Sniper. Killed 14 people in 1966. Autopsy found a brain tumor pressing the amygdala, which presumably caused uncontrollable "fight or flight" response.

A message saying, “I am not a killer, I just want to get into the caves,” was written on a wall of the women’s bathroom where the man was found lying on the floor, according to Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario. Nearby, officers found a handgun and explosive devices, some real and some fake, he added.

Geez :(

The weapons found on Medina were ghost guns, which do not have serial numbers and therefore cannot be traced. His clothing had patches and emblems that gave the appearance of Medina being associated with law enforcement.

To think he had all those guns and couldn't even stop one bad guy with a gun from killing him. Sad.

It's pretty fucked up that this is considered the good ending.

Jesus H Fucking Christ just give up the guns, you idiots

The good ending, I suppose?

When someone’s mind allows them to believe the options are to either commit a terrorist attack or to off themself, it sounds like cult behavior more than mental health to me

Holy shit, there's a mountaintop amusement park?

"In 2021, $68,000 in fines were levied against the park, where a 6-year-old Colorado Springs girl was killed on one of the rides over that Labor Day weekend."

Why include this? Word count?

Is this like a satire site?

why not just suicide at home? like, why get all dressed up in tac gear, then off yourself in a relatively public space? oh sure, mental illness, but... why not just stay home?
