That's what I was thinking.
We have pwd claiming here that this will give a deranged person or two a "reason" to go on a killing spree. I see it as giving the vast majority of the non-deranged to see how warning signs were treated with apathy. I see it as the vast majority of non-deranged looking at this, saying something like: "you know, I know that person I see around is weird, and I didn't *think* he'd *hurt* anyone, and I didn't want to get involved......but after this, I will get involved." This may be the very coverage that might be pushing those to get more involved across the country, including law enforcement.
