Both as a Buddhist and as someone with mental health issues.

Like you, I wonder what if...what if he had been helped when he showed violent reactions before? What if he had been able to get the meds he needed, the counseling he needed, what if...

That he was a Buddhist is less important than that he was a human. That is all that matters.
