How can the treacherous media claim the shooter had PTSD?

yes they seem to be going down that road. to protect this piece of crap. BUT REMEMBER what 0 said when push comes to shove he will stand with his muslim brothers. its just coming to fruition. how sad is this country. its unreal.

There is a such thing as contact PTSD. I know someone who had a total breakdown due to this. She worked with rape survivors and other victims for two years, hearing all the horrible things that happened to them. Her job entailed getting all the nasty details. One day she just flipped and was curled in a ball crying for about two months. She ended up quitting her job and was in really bad shape for a few years. She was never able to return to that line of work. She now shares her experience with others to make sure people know the warning signs, how to take care of themselves (get counseling!) to help keep it from happening to others in her former line of work.

Just because he was Islamic doesn't mean he was a terrorist. Sometimes people wig out for totally personal reasons. Sometimes they are related to religion (there have been a number of Christians who have done the same thing in recent years - such as the guy in Colorado who shot-up his former missionary training seminary and the church in Colorado Springs) and sometimes they are related to other stuff (Columbine/ bullying, postal workers/work politics).

This seems more like a personal revenge insanity thing (he simply heard too much about the horrors of war) more than terrorism.

You know PTSD isn't always caused by war, or whatever. Drug addiction, sexual abuse, war, even seeing your dead uncle in a casket can cause it.

Just a heads up. It's hard to tell how some of these freaks minds work.

I don't think he could get PTSD, he is an Army Officer Psychiatrist, he would never go into any type of situation that could cause a problem.

How can you claim otherwise? Do you have a PHd in psychiatry? Then how are you qualified to make any judgement about the alleged shooters mental state?
