I doubt that any amount of mental health intervention would have prevented this guy from doing what he did.

Watching his videos, it was clear to me that he was completely off the reservation.

I know it's horrible what happened, but I couldn't help but chuckle every few seconds while watching that video. Even knowing that he actually went through with it, it felt like it was a parody of how some people think.

EDIT: If I watched the video first, without context, I almost definitely would have thought it was satire.

I really liked chemdas idea of seeing specific therapists before getting a gun. Really wish that could actually happen.

So sick of people using 'mental illness' to let this guy off the hook. Stop throwing people with mental illness under the bus. We have all been rejected in some way or another. This guy is just a narcissistic spoilt little brat who wanted everything handed to him, including sex. That's all there is to it.

It was clear to me too. Proper mental healthcare would probably have included some involuntary time in a psych ward.

I'm a fan of both podcasts.

Let me say this about it. Patrice being shady isn't just limited to her taking money. It is her mouth, (and what comes out of it) that is the real problem.

If someone is being shady to everyone BUT you, then do the math. It's just a matter of time.

I read the whole thing. You are right, it's all chilling. Thank you for taking the time.

This guy was a murderous psycho. That his psychosis fixated on misogyny simply isn't relevant. The killers in Newtown and Aurora fixated on little kids and Batman fans.

There's an issue here in common, murderous psychos with guns, and our country is not protecting us from them. In this particular case though, the body count was quite high even without guns.

motive is relevant.

I talked to her and she won't be on the show any more. This all sucks. Before this it was kinda like being friends with two people who didn't like each other. I don't think anyone should be looking at us sideways because we had no way of knowing folks were gonna accuse her of thousands of dollars of theft in the last two days.

I feel bad for all involved. I don't want any drama with Keith or Chemda who I have a ton of respect for. Hopefully they understand we weren't trying to be shady or confrontational by having her own to shoot the shit about Game of Thrones.

I know our fans will miss her being on that segment as it is probably our most popular show of the week but it's not worth it if we're adding to any drama for KATG or KATG nation.

KATG is the closest thing we have to podcast parents so I apologize if this rubbed anyone the wrong way but hopefully people can understand.

I started listening to this show because of Patrice who I met through Cole (that part I don't regret but I regret encountering her). I did remember purchasing a round at a bar once and thought nothing of it. It's normal for my friends to buy rounds for each other but she never had for me.

What I was pissed at: I started seeing a guy who I think she also found hot and were among their friends. She admitted to me that she would do all sorts of things with him if she had the chance. However, I didn't admit to her that we were seeing each other.

I believe that she started a rumour telling him that I said certain things about him and his art, that I hadn't, to break us up when she noticed we were dating. I never found the truth about it but he came to me pretty upset about the lies that caused him not to talk to me up to this day.

I definitely believe she started it since she was the only one who knew we were dating at the time.

Months later after she got her friends to stop talking to me (Cole and Tameeka), she saw me at West 4 stop and fakely said hi and went away. Then one more time at a social media party (yea those that EVERYONE gets invited to when you have Klout) she completely ignored me.

I'm so happy this came into light because I never believed any of her fast-talking and lies. Also, never understood why her blog looked like a non-writer for a writer. She asked me to help her set up ads on her tumblr once (because I'm a developer and I had placed them on mine). So happy that I didn't help.

I just regretted that I stopped interacting with the great people that I met through her—Cole included and I feel bad about that (and unfortunately, I almost stopped listening to this show because I assumed everyone around her was like her—glad I hadn't).

This was therapeutic thanks!
