Yeah, shooter here, stabber there... But nobody writes about their reasoning. Not so clickbaity? Or nobody can actually figure out why?
- Well when you put a stigma on mental health and you cause a lot of misery with your policies this will happen. Add in climate people are more aggressive when they are hot, and financial uncertainty this is a recipe for disaster.
  
  Add in lead exposure to that list as well
  Relevant video on the effects of lead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm_1XLKtGpI
  
  Not to mention no universal healthcare for meds or doctors, and antiquated laws making it legally impossible for parents to help kids once they turn 18. If they have profound mental health disorders or addiction problems, they are fucked.
  So many stories of people caring for their child with terrible health problems/addiction, only for them to fall through the cracks once they turn 18 and can't care for themselves. :(
- My guess is the suspect in custody is a white (likely Christian) male.

  So you claim that being a white male is the reason, my racist "friend"?
- You can see him in the parking lot video. The guy looks EXTREMELY disheveled. I'd be giving him a real wide berth if I were in a store with him.
The only person in USA without a gun.
- Times are getting tough for sure.
  
  Truly a sign of the times when a mass shooter can't even afford a firearm
  In the aaaarms of an angel
- The guy seems very proactive. 11 people? Where they sleeping? Maybe they're all waiting in line and the guy jumped on a rolling cart. Then with a swift arcade style motion of the arm....stabby stab stab!...11 people stabbed.
  Wouldn't each person scream like a deranged goat? So you would hear an incoming cart (at which point I would turn around to see) then aaah! Eeeh! Ouch! Whataaaah! Jada Jada Jada... You're screaming.
  
  He was dressed as a greeter, as people would leave the store he would check their receipt and give one quick shank.
What is the motive behind this?
- Slashing prices.
  
  Too soon.
- Not clear at this point, but they are apparently pursuing terrorism charges. That suggests that the police have some idea why he did it.
How many were stabbed at walmart and how many at man in custody? (My brain had way too much trouble with this headline for a few seconds).
Oh, it’s in Traverse City? Yeah I’d probably go insane if I lived up there, too. Shit’s wildly expensive and everyone’s conservative AF. Beautiful city though.
