On another note about this and his video. I think HQ, actives and alum advisors should take this time to review and if necessary write policies in regard to sorority houses that might prevent what his initial plan had been, which was kill a house full of women. I think all too often sorority house doors are opened for people who might seem "familiar" but necessarily known to the girl who is answering the door. How common would it be for an active to open the door to a "regular" looking guy who says, I am here to pick up "Betty Sue Sorority Sister" and have the door swung open for him. The loss of these two beautiful Tri Delta women is tragic enough but add an entire chapter to that mix and it would be something the greek community has never had to deal with. I hate to think of treating sorority house like jails with gates and locks, but what is the cost if security is not at a level to stop someone like this?
This young man wanted to kill. The fact that he killed so few when his goal was so many is a bit of blessing. But it serves as a stern warning, that today's youth are either under self inflicted pressures or outside pressures and that mental health issues are on a rapid inclines across the nation. This is a mental health issue. His mental health, the viewpoint of mental illness how police should identify and deal with it, and the little say parents have of "adult" dependent children when they feel these adult children need help. Maybe these victims will not die in vain and real change can be made.
