Quote: A psychiatrist who had treated the man accused of killing 12 in a July cinema massacre in Colorado had before warned police he was a danger to the public. Newly released court documents show Dr Lynne Fenton told police of threatening text messages James Holmes sent after he stopped attending counselling. Mr Holmes, 25, is charged with multiple counts of murder in the attack during a premier of a Batman film. Prosecutors have rejected a guilty plea and seek the death penalty. The trial had been scheduled for August, but a judge has pushed it back to February 2014. Burned bills In an affidavit taken after the shooting and unsealed on Thursday, University of Colorado Denver police Officer Lynn Whitten told investigators that Dr Fenton had contacted her in June. Dr Fenton was following a legal requirement to report a specific threat to authorities, according to the document. Ms Whitten said the psychiatrist was making the report "due to homicidal statements [Mr Holmes] had made" and that Dr Fenton said he sent threatening text messages to her after he stopped attending counselling sessions.

Quote:And your solution to places of worship getting shot-up? How about movie theaters? Public outdoor events?
Quote:Also, since your answers (when you post any) to, well, whatever else you've posted on, seem to be - 'the system will take care of it'...

Quote:- Require states to send data on involuntary committments to be included in the NICS system. - Require mental health professionals to warn of patients who they consider are showing homicidal behavior (And, in light of the article I cited in this post, requiring police to act on them). - Train school counselers to recognize signs of dangerous behavior. - Implement programs to reduce bullying in schools. - Stricter penalties and more prosecution of illegal and straw purchases.

That you didn't like my answer doesn't really faze me one bit. So ban the sale of assault weapons and large magazines is your plan? Your whole plan? Ban the weapons used in less than 1/3 of 1 percent of homicides? http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8 and the magazines you yourself note don't help a shooter fire much faster?

Quote:Also, be a dear and find where I've posted what you claim I've posted "Whereas you believe that banning the sale of "assault weapons" (whatever those are this week), and large capacity magazines will allow the 'system' to take care of it."

Quote:I noticed you had nothing to say about places or worship, outdoor public gatherings, movie theaters and the like. Or deaths by onesies and twosies like a lot of gang violence.
Quote:"... I've been making for the last few months ..." Really? Links, quotes, cites - you know, all the stuff you insist other people provide.
