Speaking of Hit Lists, when one of my daughters worked as a manager of a small healthcare facility she was on a "Hit List" of one of the female employees she managed.
It was handled internally and she was investigated/terminated without incident.
This employee actually liked my daughter, but added her to her hit list as she rejected her sexual advances, she rejected her Facebook friend requests and catfishing friend requests.
She had no previous criminal record, nor history of violence, however she frequently talked about suicide and murder, but only with Discord users, not Facebook friends.
Password protected and formatted/deleted data recovery revealed more disturbing behavior.
Another female employee of a Walmart store where my daughter worked made a Hit List of co-workers as well.
She told several co-workers she planned to shoot them and that she had a gun in her vehicle.
When she was taken into custody police found targets with bullet holes in them as she'd been practicing.
I believe she was from Schenectady, one of Upstate New York's most dangerous cities.

I believe she was from Schenectady, one of Upstate New York's most dangerous cities. Targets are supposed to have bullet holes in them. That's what they're for. All gun owners should be practicing. Taking the existence of targets with bullet holes in them as some kind of negative sign is just the usual paranoid delusional thinking that we're always seeing from gun control freaks. |

Harris County Medical Examiner agreed. But, so far, they haven't filed any additional charges. So far, only tampering with a corpse. Harris County District Attorney is busier than a one-armed paper hanger.

Sunday at Memorial City Mall in Houston, a young man jumped up on a table in the food court and expressed the desire to commit suicide. Then, he threw a bag he had on the floor.
A lot of rumors went around the mall (first that there was an active shooter, then that somebody set off fireworks in the mall, then somebody was injured but not from fireworks or shooting) and people panicked. The mall ended out emptying out and being closed for the rest of the day.
The latest is that the authorities have a blurry picture of the young man and they want to interview him.

Had a case in Metro Houston where a driver was stopped by a deputy constable, and he started shooting because "the voices in his head told him to."
He is being charged with attempted capital murder of a peace officer.
Fortunately, the deputy was wearing a bulletproof vest and only had bruises.
Another crazy driving around Texas going the wrong way on a one-way street in the middle of the night with his headlights off.

Sneakers, another reason for mental health background checks not only for guns, but a driver's license. Of course it mill not stop all the them from driving or getting a gun, but makes prosecution so much easier when they violate the law. High priced lawyers cannot get them off on a mental health defense.

This weekend a man recently released from state prison committed suicide by gun in a convenience store parking lot after a standoff with police.
Apparently they'd stolen a vehicle and gun from a home near my daughter's summer home.
My aunt and cousins heard the shot, however thought it was fireworks on the lake.

In July 2014, a man (the ex-husband of the wife's sister) shot seven members of the Stay family of Spring. Six died. The then fifteen-year-old survivor testified in court. The defense attorney admits the perp did it, but was insane at the time. The court date has been reset twenty times, and it finally came to trial. The perp was crazy enough to drive from California to Texas to go on a shooting spree. And premeditated enough to have him bring a FedEx Home Delivery uniform with him (former employee). The prosecution has not yet taken the death penalty off of the table.

Seems that our President now admits to a mental health issues and wants more institutions. I agree with him on that issue which is something I said in many of the years that I was teaching school. However, the Special Ed community disagreed with me and the administration both told me to not speak out on the issue. Let's see what happens.
