Search Results: suicide attempts

He was shot by Kyle Rittenhouse when he attacked Rittenhouse. A convicted child sex abuser at age 18 (various sex acts with multiple underage boys), spent years in jail. In summary, the night he was shot... he was released from the mental institution, was not able to get his prescription for bi-polar disorder filled, homeless and probably hopeless. He'd just failed his 2nd suicide attempt not long before. Decided to go join in the "action" in his area.

Here's why I have some compassion...
* A common pattern of sex abusers is they were victims themselves. I consider that likely he was abused earlier in life and acting out the trauma.
* He was mentally ill (bi polar... can be attributed to prior traumas)... and obviously not getting help. Our system is often garbage... diagnose... find prescription to mask problem. Money and meds. It doesn't deal with root causes to heal the heart/soul, just masks them with meds that suspend a person in a broken emotional state. Traumatized children die young. I don't have facts... I have suspicions.

I have compassion for Jacob Blake, and the officer who shot him.

I wish there was a deeper analysis of what went wrong that lead up to these early deaths so we can correct the flaws in society. Toyota uses "Kanban" method to find and resolve root causes. We could do the same socially.

Having compassion does not undo his responsibility to behave. I find it perfectly reasonable Kyle shot him. Everyone has responsibility to manage their emotions.. and it is a major reason we have the social issues we have.

Compassion and responsibility... these might be some keys to cure to our ailing society.. before it is too late.
