National Post- Accused Filipino festival killer was under supervision of mental health team, says ministry
The statement from British Columbia’s Ministry of Health says Adam Kai-Ji Lo was being followed closely under the Mental Health Act, and there was “no indication of violence” in his presentation to the health team.
Interim Vancouver Police Chief Steve Rai said the morning after the attack that the suspect had a “significant history of interactions with police and health-care professionals related to mental health.”

So killing all those people was a team effort.

The headline should read… “Health ‘Professionals’ Don’t Know Shit”
From the folks who released ‘Greyhound Bus Cannibal’ Vince Li.

It’s well past time that Health care ‘professionals’ be held accountable for their decisions.
Ok.. When you are out and about. Try and stand next to things that will kill the killers.. Like a big oak tree.. Or 4 steel pillars around a junction box.. You know, make sure its an accident..
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they tore up the floor
I am sure nuff not lonely
Just don’t get around much anymore
I may have taken liberties with that old chestnut, but the lyric is appropriate, eh?
I now get why Costco has those big pillar things at the entrance. I guess we need them on every street corner now, along with some Tesla charging stations.
What a time to be alive and old. Having a whale of a time in my garden, yo.
What are the kids he was on SSRI antidepressants? 100%, just like every other mass killer.
And the mental health team has been fired now right? At least suspended? No? Nothing? Fail.
No, they’re union members, they’ll work until they’re 60ish, then we’ll pay their pensions
Who watches the Watchmen?

The Clock Police.
I would suggest that having a significant history of interactions with police IS an “indication of violence.”
Not necessarily. Those interactions could have just been him threatening self-harm and someone called the cops, and the cops took him to hospital. Knew a young woman many years ago with Borderline Personality Disorder. She had had many such interactions with police, none of which were violent.
The Professionals Have Things Well In Hand.
Those are just an indication of how well managed he is. Works great, doesn’t it?
How much do you want to bet that this guy was being treated with an SSRI i.e.Prozac,Paxil).Its been linked with EVERY mass shooting for years.
This kind of issue/problem is becoming endemic. This Country has an awful lot of lawyers; thete is no good reason the issue cannot be addressed. Solutions should reflect the will, morals, values, ethics etc. of the citizens of the Country, not the ‘justice industry’. NCR is not acceptable. Revisit it, if desired every five or ten years.
The lack of will, morals, values, ethics etc. of the citizens of the country.
Yesterdays vote showed precisely that lack of.
So then … just as portrayed in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the automobile murderer was just a harmless, lovable, scamp of a mental patient. A mostly peaceful mental patient.
And what’s the government’s remedy? Lock up the mental patients? Don’t be silly … they’re launching a blue-ribbon study of how to lock-down all street gatherings. The SANE need to be locked up … while the insane run amok.
Glad someone finally noticed.
And, it is a “global” phenomenon.
Locking Down the law-abiding targets is always the solution.
