Well Davy, as far as I heard, she told her higher ups that if he wasn't expelled from her class she'd consider resigning.....and then, he was taught one on one by some prof chick named lucinda.
Yes he had a history, was treated and released.
This kind of insane explosion can never be policed, unless of course we want to become a police state where everyone is watched because a few wackos lurk amongst us.
I wish this young man could have gotten what he needed. But most professional "counselors" don't know what a person whose come to this needs. They can't relate, they don't get it, the depth, the urgency of the need. They don't want to believe that anger can create violent, insane, killer monsters on their watch, especially if it's close to 5 and time to go home or go have a fancy beer. Their bosses tell them to minimize minimize minimize response. I know this because even a few years ago, when I worked in a domestic violence crisis center, the "county counselors" were always minimizing what I interpreted as a huge need, and they would leave these poor unstable people to their own devices. They had no compassion or understanding of the depth of emotion. It really used to piss me off how lame these so called educated, and certainly way overpaid people were. I saw their methods backfire on more than one tearful occasion.
I believe that anger untended for a long long period of time can create this in all of us, we are all capable of it and perhaps this is why we can't get enough of it when someone actually acts it out. I believe that there is alot more anger like this brewing in our midst. It's terrifying. But the fires are being stoked with losses for many. Foreclosures after big happy promises of the American dream, job cuts, pension thefts, a war that the majority hates, a world that sees America as ignorant. We still live in the "strict father" mode in this country, which is, of course obsolete. For example, to think that old idiot farts (male and female) still think that abortion should be illegal, and yet viagra should be free. Give me a fucking break!!!! It's unreal!
Yadda yadda yadda. There's more to be mad about than happy about for many people, and that my dear is DANGEROUS. Especially when the have nots way way outnumber the haves.
Watch yere back buddy....and try to evoke love every minute, especially
if you sense someone is frustrated, or feeling unloved and hopeless or angry and alone. Give it to them. Go the extra mile, so what if you miss some of your favorite tv show....or dinner. We need to feed each other love and kindness. Lots of it. A thanksgiving feast of it, before it slips away entirely.
Hell, why not?
