Our current government and its predecessors decided "we're putting too many people in prison" without considering that those in prison may have actually deserved their sentences.

Rather than the soft touch psychiatry... any other suggestions? The Venus project had a totally different outlook than prison, where free sex is provided... it's possible that many consider that a bonus, plus free food, no bills to pay... it obviously doesn't really deter many people who want to commit murder

    Thank you for your insight Dr Grande .Even If Ryan isn't psychotic and is a narcissist ,I still think people should still be aware that a surprising amount of people are unaware of marijuana induced psychosis, including extreme paranoia .Having watched a relative of mine turn from a sweet young man into someone absolutely altered from his first experience, into a severely mentally disturbed and often dangerous individual , gripped by delusions , shame and rage , I can only conclude some drugs are like Russian roulette ! I hope in the future genetic markers will reveal those that would be vulnerable....in the case of Ryan as a narcissist, I wonder if the drugs and alcohol he took magnified or exacerbated his narcissistic traits ; in effect adding more fuel to an already dangerous fire ....this is a truly horrible case.

No matter how much a person receives, they want more. It seems this could have been a mass shooting. I’m glad he was caught before he acted again.

    ohhhh.. vulnerable/covert narcissists have turned out to be the worst to shake in my own life. I unfortunately have an ex (now a friend) who just spent the last 4-5 years trying to lose our mutual friend as a roommate. the guy was neglected by his parents as a young child and he was honestly great to be around in his 20s, but he developed this uncanny ability to get other people to feel sorry for and make excuses for him as his life started to stagnate. fast forward to his late 30s and he's deeply alcoholic and somehow gets away with playing Destiny 2 all day (one of the top 10 players, deadass! lmao) and bringing girls home to sleep with during a pandemic and not having to pay rent or get a job because everyone feels so bad his life was so hard. they had to kick him out 2 or 3 times before it finally stuck but my ex is FINALLY getting his own life on track now. he basically got set back years by this 'friend'. it even broke up his years-long relationship, and trust me when I say this was the first time this ex had really been on the right track in a long time. so it really sucked to watch.

    Dr. Grande, thank you for another of your usual excellent evaluations of criminal behavior. In case my question is noticed, should punishments be different for people who are properly, carefully diagnosed as having mental illnesses (particularly non-curable types). In your analysis of this case, for example, you recommend against releasing Grantham based on a possible vulnerable narcissist diagnosis, which could lead to his potentially committing more violent crimes if/when released from his current prison sentence. Are such mental health issues taken into consideration by the justice systems already (it seems they are not, or at least not in this case); if not, shouldn't they be considered; can punishments be of differing degrees based on (proper) diagnosis, ... etc. ...

    maybe he blamed his mother for his father leaving. as someone in their 20s who lost their parent, this is the first time I've chosen to deal with the events leading up to my parents death and what played a role and how I feel about it. he probably thinks if his mom wasn't the way she was, he would have a father. I observe the same situation in my relatives, I would never understand why a father wouldn't want to see his children despite the relationship not working out, but having experienced their mother, I can see how much stress it can lead to to deal with the failed relationship to get to their kids. once the kids are grown they are convinced they don't need their father, it's "too late" but it takes two to repair lost time, Ultimately I am a happier person since forgiving my remaining parent for the pain they caused my deceased parent, it wasn't intentional, but going forward, I refrain from starting my own family because broken people can only break other people, and innocent lives like children deserve better than to experience toxicity of adult relationships. it is a shame he couldn't bare the pain. I am in pain but I know it didn't happen in a day, so it'll take time to heal, and I'm willing to do that if it means pain didn't kill me, I want to pass in peace.
