Sometimes if they're really busy with people having strokes/heart attacks/broken bones, car wrecks/being abused/etc, so their frustration with calls that shouldn't be coming to them bleeds through. Though I understand why that person called 911, they should have called the police department directly. 911 is for when you're in immediate danger. To me, her tone of voice said " is anyone bleeding, injured, or on fire? Is someone directly threatening you? If the answer to these questions is 'no', then you should have called the non-emergency line.:"

One correction to this report. Victim Tiana Caruthers did not make a full recovery. She suffers daily from the effects of being shot . She needs help walking, has metal rods in her body and many other injuries that are permanent , endures physical pain everyday in addition to the PTSD she suffers. So many times in mass shootings people often forget about the surviving victims. Just because they did not die, doesn't mean they are going about their life without extreme difficulty. God bless this woman and the other surviving victims

[@Anomalocaria]

i was diagnosed with schizophrenia at twenty one and i've been around people in various stages of treatment for psychotic illnesses ever since. i've got to say, there's nothing particularly _unbelievable_ about the story he initially gave investigators. maybe it sounded ridiculous and cliche to a lot of people, but delusional thinking tends to wear some common motifs in my experience. religion and demons, technology and surveillance, federal and corporate conspiracies, none of these things have been the least bit out of place at some group therapy meetings i've attended. i've personally spent more time discussing mind control than i care to admit. and i couldn't understand a damn word he was saying in the courtroom, which also isn't out of place in clinical settings. if he faked that shit, he did it well. he had me going. on the other hand - he swapped cars. he was lucid enough to know that what he was doing was wrong, that his now damaged vehicle would identify him, he was lucid enough to come up with a solution, and he was lucid enough to _lie_ about why he was picking customers up in a different car ... and typically people don't just flit back and forth between lucid and psychotic in a matter of minutes. when you're wound up, you're wound up for hours. _days,_ even.

[@amandastakeonit7402]

I hear you, as a caregiver and a psychology student! I agree the courtroom rant was real, he wasn't trying to upset her but the more upset and the louder she got the worse he got. It seems peopel think that you are all in or all out but that's not usually how it works with the mind. As a matter of fact none at all in my studies thus far and in my experience.

[@attorneycarissa]

Thank you for sharing your insight and experience. I don't think most people understand what schizophrenia is and how it presents.

[@mimisezlol]

I hope your schizophrenia isn't giving you too much trouble these days. Also, I love your username!

[@titaniumvulpes]

I've noticed that 99% of people who try to go the insanity plea route say the exact same thing, "The Voices told me to do it" with absolutely no other context because that's all they know about schizophrenia, the fact this guy had such a _specific_ reasoning honestly makes me more inclined to believe him. Even if he had no prior reported mental health issues, it took 10 years for me to get diagnosed after I first started showing symptoms, so who knows how long he might've had issues that went unseen. Still, like you said, he was definitely lucid enough to make logical decisions during the spree. It's not like that case of the mother whose baby died because she had a psychotic break and dissociated so hard she was basically stood unconscious in one place pushing him in a swing for three days straight. He knew what he was doing was wrong or he wouldn't have had the presence of mind to evade police.

[@ravenillusion2596]

I used to have a friend that had schizophrenia he would mellow out on weed. He was a cool dude he moved to another state and lost contact with him i miss em.

Hence why the term "he/she snapped..." is often used. For no apparent reason they suddenly do a 180. Talking to a shrink a while back, he explained to me that men "in general" are not allowed to cry, show weakness, be sad or depressed. We feel pressured to keep that cool/tough/leveled image, hence we channel those feelings into anger. Cause that is allowed!!! Inside many feel lonely, misunderstood and frustrated... especially those with too few friends. But we keep on accumulating frustration inside like a boiler until it bursts someway or another. So he says that many men are potential time bombs, some snap, some get pretty sick, some abandon their families searching for adventure...

I try to tell everything my parents. I'm depressed, 33, useless and I wish I was never born. Only thing keeping me alive are my primal self-preservation insticts, fear of death. I say to myself I didn't exist for 13,5 billion years and I was fine (if we count time from the big bang). I tell myself this, yet I can't bring to kill myself, I'm too afraid. But there are dark things, even I don't wish to speak off, not to my family, not here. It's all those pills that keep fuking up my brain. And lately I had a falling out with my family, I live with them, but sometimes I wish for something bad to happen, genuinely and that made me always scared, not anymore, at least not how it used to. But after a while I feel very guilty for having such thoughts. I hate society, an accident (let's call it that) and high school made me into who I am today, a useless parasite, because the accident made ugly as hell, to the point people laughed. You know you see people and you don't give it a second thought? Well, you'd stop to look at, or rather stare at me, this is how ugly I am. My only hope is a surgical operation to correct my face, otherwise I can forget socializing ever with other people, not to mention women. Though I gotta say this pandemic has one good thing going for it: I can wear a mask and people will never see my face, I act normal with with a mask and I can finally see so much more, after having for 16 years to hide my hideous face under a hood and a cap, lowering my face down as much as possible (meaning to not look suspicious, but I do unfortunately). I was diagnosed of course with bdd (which is bs) and depression, the latter I agree with. Some people hide their feelings very well, they have dark thoughts regarding future, existential crisis, middle age crisis, financial issues, work related, colleagues, partners, family etc. I'm sure there are many more people that everyone knows as normal, but in reality are like this, they are just very strong-willed and they don't talk about their dark thoughts. Having no history of mental illness, I doubt it, it was just not reported or he wasn't showing any signs outside of his body/mind. He may have been a victim of something very awful and we will never know about, like rape for example: he might have been assaulted and it scarred him, so much in fact he just thought: ef it, killed people, then maybe regretted it, but it was too late.

How did the app "make him do it", if he told his wife to watch the news while he was at home and NOT the app?

[@ktsmttt3174]

As a dispatcher this call annoyed the piss out of me. I know we need to verify if the caller wants to have an officer meet with them to make a report or not but her wording sucked. Instead she could have said "we're informing our officers to look for the driver. Do you want an officer to meet with you?" Also, the general information gathering was poor.

It feels like people called into a dispatcher that was in the middle of a real nail biter of a game of candy crush.

[@astoldbynickgerr]

I hope that dispatcher lost their job.

God dammit people stop calling!! Who cares about a psycho driving around the city erratically. I’m busy.

These types of cases are honestly the scariest to me... Someone who appears completely normal, just starts choosing victims at random with no motive.

[@mghorvath79]

Yes and it can happen to any one of us is what makes it even scarier.

[@tacokoneko]

one of the most insane people ive seen on this show tbh, no motive no planning no history, apparently hallucinates satan who possesses him. demons are real, the modern term is "brain tumor"

This cases aways reminds me somehow to Boomtown Rats: "I Dont Like Mondays" "........ And he can see no reasons 'Cause there are no reasons What reason do you need to be shown? Tell me why? I don't like Mondays. Tell me why? I don't like Mondays. Tell me why? I don't like Mondays. I want to shoot The whole day down. ........."
