This thread is moving too fast.
Is anyone else pissed that they're interviewing the kids that were in the school?
Leave them alone. GOD!

Some woman on sky news (author / journalist) trying psycho analyse the shooter
She says its because there's some sort of masculinity crisis in the west because there are no jobs etc WTF

Imagine that... dude with same name, age, and location as was being reported.
The one now in Custody?
Yeah. It's his brother.

Yeah. Seems shitty to plaster his face all over everything if he has no involvement. I just saw a video of him being cuffed and stuffed

What the fuck is this? Then how the hell was he so calm in responding to his facebook comments?

My girlfriend is a kindergarten teacher, this scares the shit out of me. You'd think someone would be safe in a class full of fucking 4 year olds 
The news channels are just a reflection of what we want to hear and see. They exist the way they do now because we tune in to this kind of stuff and they make money off of it. The most any individual can do is stop watching the likes of CNN and Fox. If you want proper news reporting, you'd have to get a publicly funded station in the same vein as the BBC or at the very least, only watch what is substantial.
I've personally stopped paying attention to the 24/7 news networks and even the regular evening broadcasts. I think I've better off for it.

Still doesn't excuse the fact that the media jumped to conclusions. They lucked out that the guy was related to the story.
Dr. Drew used to be cool on Loveline. Maybe it was Adam Carolla that made him cool though, I don't know.

So he somehow helped out his bro? They said the shooter was dead.

Probably because he didn't know his brother was the murderer at the time.

Yes I'm watching this and I'm getting pissed off.
Also saying it's the job the press to figure out what happened.
Errr no.

He had no idea what his brother did apparently.
He probably was still getting wind of the news, but it's pretty suspect having your family being established at the school already.
They are just bringing him in for questioning. My post up above kind of sticks out in something like this.

Probably did not yet know the police wanted to take him in custody.

Yeah, so I guess he came home from work to find out he was actually involved in this tragedy, just not how people thought.
Or was he actually involved? Im gonna guess they are arresting him just to be safe for the moment.

Agreed.
This is so beyond the pale, and its been a long time coming. Something was going to happen to slap us all across the face.

Yup, insane
Looks like it. Man, this is insane.
Its going to be rough for him. Everyone thinking HE was the shooter, finding out it was his brother that killed his parents and a room full of kids... ugh.

I dunno about lucking out, if he's not involved in anyway other than being related to the guy who actually did the killings, it's still going to be a matter of slander that they plastered his name and picture everywhere.
Exactly this.
Unfortunately, mass murderers are horribly understudied when compared to serial murderers so we don't have a whole lot of information on them. Generally, though there is evidence of a long periods of despair or depression and these people usually feel like their lives are failures and there is little to no chance for them improving.
The targets of their spree are usually people they blame for their discontent or are symbolic of it. That's why I think that we may find some unfortunate stories down the line if the murderer was, indeed, going after his family. I won't suggest how children tied into the murderers thinking at the time but the association of his mother working with them may be a factor.
Someone mentioned the mental health issues should be a talking point after these and I'd have to agree. The fact that these people are generally isolated and have no social support systems seems to play a large part in their psychological state leading up to the killings. The stigma attached to mental health is something that really needs to be addressed so more people seek help or are sent for help.

That is just terrible. This story gets worse by the hour. I can't even begin to fathom how he may have felt when everything became clear to him.

That's what it looks like, but I'm not assuming anything until the entire mess is cleared up by the actual police department and not the media reporting.

sounds like it, well i mean it could have been a different ryan, but adam was the shooter and ryan is the older brother
report was that adam had his brothers ID, which is all sorts of messed up (i mean it all is but..)

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
I've been reading this thread, following the news
"I'm Out"
I'm not giving the media fucking ratings and hits, so much fucking stupidity going on
I'll wait patiently and get the facts a few days later when everything has been checked
Every fucking channel is reporting and regurgitating the same nonsense
Now they have stand-by child psychologists diagnosing kids on this tragedy, which isn't even 8 hours old... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU Journalism
I'm out, I'm sad as fuck, but I have the option to tune out, I'm doing so
I urge you to do the same
Tragedy has happened, better to go do something else, if you have kids, be with them and enjoy the day/night
Not helping posting misinformation or just posting you've cried 8 times, doesn't really help
