when people look at some wheelchair user who can move legs / stand / walk / ambulatory / etc, n they respond with “not all wheelchair user paralyzed,” then if do “educational” post, often go on explain how don’t have (traumatic) spinal cord injury / SCI

often with attitude “paralysis / SCI (to them same thing) so well known well understood accommodated accepted visible”

which. in isolation, “not all wheelchair user paralyzed” & “not all wheelchair user have (traumatic) SCI” objectively true.

but it’s like. the utter confidence in their complete ignorance of paralysis and SCI, & ignorance of their ignorance, conflating paralysis always = SCI, & that both always mean cannot move leg at all. all while treating paralysis & SCI as this most understood disability / wheelchair using reason they a victim of.

as in like. if someone give you shit about be in wheelchair but move leg & you want educate. tell them some wheelchair user can move leg. not “not all wheelchair user paralyzed” because some people paralyzed can also move leg. saying latter only show your ignorance about paralysis, while throw ppl w paralysis under bus

don’t have any kind paralysis so maybe worst person make this post but

did you know SCI & paralysis not the same. did you know can have leg paralysis without traumatic SCI through some sort physical injury. multiple sclerosis, ALS, FND, tumor, paraneoplastic syndrome, cerebral palsy etc can all cause paralysis. n many more

did you know paralysis can be monoplegia (one limb), paraplegia (both legs), diplegia (same area both side of body), hemiplegia (one side of body), & quadriplegia (all limbs). as in, yes, some people may have paralysis but still can move legs because at least one leg not affected.

n

did you know (depending on how categorize) there two types of spinal cord injury. complete & incomplete. people w incomplete SCI, brain can still send some signals below SCI site & so have some feeling and/or function.

did you know some people w SCI can move legs, including involuntary spasms (tho sometimes can be on purpose triggered by doing certain things if learn trigger).

did you know some w incomplete SCI can voluntarily move legs. can walk with mobility aids. can walk without mobility aids. can be ambulatory wheelchair user. some use their spasm to stand. n they still considered have (incomplete) SCI & paralysis.

if you didn’t know these then maybe SCI & paralysis not as well understood well accepted disorder as you think & treat it as.

(also did you know, can be non ambulatory wheelchair user without have paralysis. suprise)

(tried double triple confirm facts, but, people w paralysis, if say anything wrong please do kindly correct. cognitive + language communication disability often mix up things)

GOOD DAY TO EVERYONE !

Greetings!

My name is Osito, and i've been feeling very sick lately 🤧.

After my human mom took me to several vets, ran many tests, and bought me a lot of medicine , yesterday I was finally diagnosed with a neurological problem, left vestibular syndrome. It is treatable, yes, but i need to get an urgent MRI to discard tumors or strokes. My hooman mom doesn't have much money left since she's been unemployed for a while, and the money she earns from commissions isn't enough for this exam.

She can't do more commissions right now because she already has so many ( thank you people 🙏❤️), and during the day she takes care of me and my grandma , who is chronically ill and at night she work doing comissions and illustrations too! So please help me to  afford this examen wich is a cerebral MRI and it cost 413,83 USD ( 417.000 CLP) 

HELP ME TO REACH THE GOAL !

You can donate by paypal wich is

https://www.paypal.me/sashimiprince26

Or by kofi wich is

I will attach the exam prescription and the price of the MRI

Please share ❤️❤️❤️ me, my grandma and my hooman mum will be very grateful ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Writing Notes: Coma

Coma - (from the Greek word ‘‘koma,’’ meaning deep sleep)

A state of extreme unresponsiveness, in which an individual exhibits no voluntary movement or behavior.

In a deep coma, even painful stimuli (actions which, when performed on a healthy individual, result in reactions) are unable to affect any response, and normal reflexes may be lost.

Coma is the result of something that interferes with the functioning of the cerebral cortex and/or the functioning of the structures that make up the RAS. In fact, a huge and varied number of conditions can result in coma. A good way of categorizing these conditions is to consider the anatomic and the metabolic causes of coma:

Anatomic causes of coma are those conditions that disrupt the normal physical architecture of the brain structures responsible for consciousness, either at the level of the cerebal cortex or the brainstem.

Metabolic causes of coma consist of those conditions that change the chemical environment of the brain, thereby adversely affecting function.

As in any neurologic condition, history and examination form the cornerstone of diagnosis when the patient is in a coma; however, history must be obtained from family, friends, or EMS.

The Glasgow Coma Scale is a system of examining a comatose patient.

It is helpful for evaluating the depth of the coma, tracking the patient’s progress, and predicting (somewhat) the ultimate outcome of the coma.

It assigns a different number of points for exam results in three different categories:

opening the eyes,

verbal response (using words or voice to respond), and

motor response (moving a part of the body).

Fifteen is the largest possible number of total points, indicating the highest level of functioning.

The highest level of functioning would be demonstrated by an individual who spontaneously opens his/her eyes, gives appropriate answers to questions about his/her situation, and can carry out a command (such as ‘‘move your leg’’ or ‘‘nod your head’’).

Three is the least possible number of total points and would be given to a patient for whom not even a painful stimulus is sufficient to provoke a response.

In the middle are those patients who may be able to respond, but who require an intense or painful stimulus, and whose response may demonstrate some degree of brain malfunctioning (such as a person whose only response to pain in a limb is to bend that limb in toward the body).

When performed as part of the admission examination, a Glasgow score of three to five points often suggests that the patient has likely suffered fatal brain damage, while eight or more points indicates that the patient’s chances for recovery are good.

Expansion of the pupils and respiratory pattern are also important.

Metabolic causes of coma are diagnosed from blood work and urinalysis to evaluate blood chemistry, drug screen, and blood cell abnormalities that may indicate infection.

Anatomic causes of coma are diagnosed from CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans.

Coma is a medical emergency, and attention must first be directed to maintaining the patient’s respiration and circulation, using intubation and ventilation, administration of intravenous fluids or blood as needed, and other supportive care.

If head trama has not been excluded, the neck should be stabilized in the event of fracture.

It is obviously extremely important for a physician to determine quickly the cause of a coma, so that potentially reversible conditions are treated immediately. For example, an infection may be treated with antibiotics; a brain tumor may be removed; and brain swelling from an injury can be reduced with certain medications.

Various metabolic disorders can be addressed by supplying the individual with the correct amount of oxygen, glucose, or sodium; by treating the underlying disease in liver disease, asthma, or diabetes; and by halting seizures with medication.

Because of their low incidence of side effects and potential for prompt reversal of coma in certain conditions, glucose, the Bvitamin thiamine, and Narcan (to counteract any narcotic-type drugs) are routinely given.

[cripplecharacters]

I’m making a backstory / writing fic about a minor character from a show. In her promo images, she had what looked like a lower leg / ankle brace, as well as a walking stick. In her few appearances, it turned out these were just decorative (not a brace, just an odd shoe). I was thinking of writing her as disabled in a fic, however there are 2 problems. One, I don’t know how she was disabled. What sort of problems require a brace? Two, I’m not disabled. Is it okay to make this change?

Hey!

I think it's fine to make an already existing character disabled. Especially if you're doing it for the reason you said and not for the way too common "angst because disability is so sad and tragic" reasons.

The type of ankle/calf brace you're describing would probably be what we call an ankle-foot-orthosis (AFO for short), but I can't tell you 100% without knowing how exactly it looks like. This is the most common type of orthosis. A lot of people use it.

For younger people; cerebral palsy will be the most common reason they are used, and by a wide margin. A stroke or a brain injury (traumatic, or infectious like encephalitis) could also cause it. Someone with late onset spinal muscular atrophy could also use AFOs or KAFOs (K for knee, they go above it), same for people who have low level spinal cord damage (e.g. multiple sclerosis, lumbar SCI, polio etc.). A tumor in either brain or spine could also require braces long-term.

If you specifically want her to have one orthosis and not two, you should probably look into hemiplegia/hemiparesis. All three of the first suggestions above could cause it, as well as conditions like Brown-Séquard syndrome.

All of the above would make sense for using a cane as well. I hope this helps,

[lovesturni0l0s]

since apparently this needs to be cleared up if you support any form of ableism fuck off 😁

obviously there are certain groups of people who can reclaim slurs, however that does not give them the right to hurtfully direct them at someone else.

almost my entire life i have grown up around people with disabilities and special needs. i have two younger cousins with down syndrome one who also has cerebral palsy caused by a brain tumor that was supposed to kill her before she turned one, she is now almost ten. but more closely my younger brother who is adopted and has very severe fetal alcohol syndrome disorder or FASD. i have spent my almost entire life watching how he’s struggled and how he’s been treated because of his disability and making fun of anything like that or jokingly using that slur will not be tolerated. it breaks my fucking heart watching my own family struggle and be treated differently because of their disabilities and if you think a word used to attack them is funny i don’t fuck with you

also i don’t know how you can claim to be a fan of someone and talk about them in such a hateful manner, like that really doesn’t make sense to me so maybe look inside and see why it seems ok to you

again any form of hate or ableism will not be tolerated here, ever. go touch some fkn grass and stop being hateful

Neoplasms of the CNS

This is going to be a long one, so I apologize. This topic can be kinda boring and difficult, but it's good to know for anyone in med school. A lot of this stuff is also pretty high-yield for boards, so yay.

I'm going to go over a lot of different types, give you some basic facts, and show (and tell) you what it looks like. Hope you have a fun time reading :D

Glial Tumors

Glial cells are little helper cells in the brain. Gliomas are tumors made of these cells. You have three subtypes: pilocytic astrocytomas, diffuse low-grade gliomas (low grade astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas), and malignant gliomas (anaplastic astrocytomas and glioblastomas). Glioblastomas are the most aggressive gliomas.

Pilocytic astrocytomas are the most common primary brain tumor in children. They are well-circumscribed and grow very slowly. They prefer the cerebellum and brainstem. Their most distinguishing feature are the Rosenthal fibers (pilocytic means fiber) and red inclusions. These can usually be treated with resection alone. Look how pretty it is:

Low grade gliomas are the majority of adult brain tumors. They are infiltrating and are WHO grade 2-4. Both diffuse astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas are going to be basically in the middle of the brain. Oligodendrogliomas prefer white matter of the cerebral hemispheres and infiltrate to the cortex. Microcalcifications are common. Oligodendrogliomas have a "fried egg" and "chickenwire" appearance, but this is usually stated as uniform cells with clear cytoplasm and branching, delicate blood vessels on board exams.

Diffuse astrocytomas show irregular, angulated, and hyperchromatic nuclei, and have a tendency to recur, spread, and progress to higher stages.

Now to the malignant gliomas. Malignant astrocytomas are the most common primary brain tumor in adults. You'll see a hypercellular glioma with poorly differentiated astrocytes. It tends to recue, and shows significant nuclear atypia and miotic activity (it's dividing!!). These can develop from other types of astrocytomas or de novo. They usually progress to glioblastoma.

Glioblastomas are the most common and most malignant gliomas. They are poorly defined, infiltrating, and will distort the brain. Some people say they look like butterflies on MRI (I say these people are full of shit). You'll see serphintine or psuedopalisading necrosis and microvascular proliferation. The morphology of the cells is highly variable (from giant and bizarre to small and tightly packed). There is about a one year median survival from disgnosis.

Medulloblastomas

This is the most malignant brain tumor in children, and is only found in the cerebellum (by definition, obviously). All of them are WHO grade IV. The classic (aka the kind on board exams) is composed of sheets of densly packed cells with round to oval nuclei (or sometimes carrot-shaped lol), and little cytoplasm. They are poorly differentiated and primitive. In 40% of them, there are Homer-Wright (neuroblastic) rosettes (circled below).

Sometimes you see spinal drop metastasis of these, which means the tumor has spread to the spinal cord. This will show up as a "sugar coated" spinal cord on MRI. If the tumor compresses the 4th ventricle, you'll also see increased intracranial pressure.

Ependymomas

These are slow-growing tumors that originate from either the walls of the ventricles or the spinal canal. In kids, they're usually in the brain. In adults, they're usually in the spine. There are like nine subtypes, but the most common feature on histology is perivasuclar psuedorosettes. They have a poor prognosis.

Choroid Plexus Papillomas

These come from the cuboidal cells of the choroid plexus within the ventricles (the things that make CSF). 85% are in kids less than 5 years old, and most are found in the lateral ventricles. They look like cauliflower. Under the microscope, they show papillary structure with delicate fibrovascular cores, with a cuboidal lining. Complete resection is the main treatment.

Neuronal Tumors

We're only gonna talk about gangliocytomas, gangliogliomas, and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors, but there are other types. Gangliocytomas are the most common tumors associated with chronic temporal lobe epilepsy, but they are rare overall. They show prominent single nucleoli and cytoplasmic basophilic Nissl substance. They also may have pilocytic elements. They may progress to gangliogliomas.

Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors are low-grade tumors that are seen in kids. Usually they cause seizures. You'll see multinodular lesions in the cortices (usually temporal). Histology looks like prominent clusters of oligodendroglial-like cells, which seem to float in cystic spaces. Resection is the treatment, and usually stops the seizures.

Meningiomas

These are the most common benign tumors in adults, with resection being the primary treatment (unless they're radiation-induced, those fuckers are aggressive). These are attached to the dura mater and compress the brain without invading it. The meningothelial subtype is the only one you need to know the histology of. It has characteristic whorls (can be mineralized) called psammoma bodies. Grossly, they look like an egg yolk.

Primary CNS Lymphomas

PCNSL are usually diffuse large B-call lymphomas. Therefore, they express CD markers. Grossly, they are circumscribed and somewhat necrotic. On histology, they have lymphoid-appearing cells around blood vessels. They're honestly not that interesting in my opinion.

Craniopharyngiomas

These are benign and their origin has to do with some embryology I don't care to explain here. They have neuroendocrine effects, and can usually not be reached for resection, and are therefore considered a lifelong illness. They're usually cystic, solid, and calcified all at once (yum). They are separated into adamantinomatous (kids and adults) and papillary (only in adults). You'll see palisading epithelial cells and wet keratin.

CNS Metastasis

Most common tumor of the CNS, and can occur at any age. Lung cancer is the most common primary tumor. You're going to see edema, and usually they lodge at the gray-white junction. They will be well circumcised and will have histology consistent with the primary lesion.

Peripheral Tumors

We got Schwannomas, Neurofibromas, and Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). Schwannomas are painless and slow rowing, and just kinda look like a round knot on a nerve. Histologically, they are biphasic, with Antoni A (tight) and Antoni B (loose) areas. You'll also see nuclear palisading with Verocay bodies.

Neurofibromas are either solitary or plexiform. They will present with pain and loss of function. On histology, you'll see myxomatous matric and collagen fibrils leading to intense staining with reticulin.

MPNSTs are highly malignant and aggressive, and are difficult to diagnose. Grossly, you'll see necrosis. Histologically, you'll see hypercellularity, atypia, and pleomorphism.

Neurocutaneous Syndromes

You got neurofibromatosis 1 and 2, tuberous sclerosis, and Von Hippel Lindau disease. With NF1, you have a mutation on chromosome 17, which causes dark skin spots, cutaneous neurofibromas, Lisch nodules on the iris, optic gliomas, seizures, etc.

NF2 is from chromosome 22, and the patient will also sometimes have meningiomas and ependymomas. The biggest thing is bilateral vestibular schwannomas, causing hearing loss, vertigo, and facial weakness. Also common are juvenile cataracts.

Tuberous sclerosis is a disorder of cellular differentiation and proliferation. You'll see ash leaf spots, facial and fingernail angiofibromas, shagreen patches, heart tumors, renal tumor, retinal tumor, lung tumor, epilepsy, etc.

Von Hippel Lindau disease is caused by a deletion on chromosome 3. It is characterized by hemangioblastomas in the retina and CNS. You'll see symptoms from local mass effect and hemorrhage. Patient may also have renal cysts, pheochromocytomas, or pancreatic tumors.

And that's all the ones I want do, I'm not interested in going neuro, so I won't get into the dirty details. They don't really matter unless you want to be a brain surgeon or something.

i cannot bear the pain. it is an embarrassment. i am a fool. how could i have done this. i wont hold back. i cannot lie. my entire life is filled with pain and regret. i’ve been given a horrible hand. i hate i have to make myself withstand it. i hate i have to be strong and bear the sorrows. i am not a victim. i refuse to make myself wallow in pity. i’ve written it before. i have spoken about how you’d never expect me to have lived the life i did. abused at 3, abused continually through adolescence. my entire childhood, sexualized. the one person, never believing me. my believer and confidant, my one true hero, died in a horrific accident. she was taken too soon. but it’s also gods time. this is probably where i developed chronic vaginal pain and back pain. from being penetrated at 3. i remember this all. i remember the day. i never, ever blocked it out. i had a baby sister shortly after and i remember her birth too. it was normal to me. 3. from then on, just abused myself the way i was abused as a toddler, as a child. went on to be abused by others as well. seek out thrills and “exciting” life of drugs, sex work, partying, addiction, homelessness, eventually loneliness. i pulled myself out of all of this by myself. i picked myself up. i got myself a career. i found what worked for me. i eventually went on to travel more. met someone who i loved endlessly. had their child. turned extremely abusive as the pregnancy began. and what’s cruel is, he comforted me in all my miscarriages. i had a traumatic one, where i saw the sac. it was large and i was 12 weeks along. he helped me tremendously. only to slam my head into a window and break my tooth out. it was a porcelain tooth anyway. still. my tumors and pelvic inflammation from when i was a toddler grew even larger in my uterus and pelvic floor. my entire pregnancy was agony. i even struggled with wanting to get an abortion. but i didn’t really want that. i really wanted my baby. i had dreams of him, and truth be told. i thought id miscarry. even ultrasound i expected the “im so sorry” but i eventually got to end mark. and i wanted this baby so bad i prayed for it. i almost died during labor. preterm laboring for lord knows how long. leaking fluid and my stomach clenching with each contraction. i almost died on the OR table. so did my baby. he suffered loss of oxygen and by the absolute grace of god, he came out only having minimal damage. we are on our way for testing for cerebral palsy. he has seizures, and nystagmus. he’s technically blind and developmentally delayed. but he’s so intelligent. singing to sade at just 2 years old. he’s very musically inclined. he’s a miracle. i saw angels surrounding me on the or table. i saw lights. i felt angels talking to me. nurses laughing at me. i remember so vividly. all i wanted was for my baby’s father to reach out and hold me. what a common theme. just wanting to be held. i had the worst time breastfeeding and horrible panic attacks over formula feeding. don’t care what anyone says about formula. i hated it. i switched to goats milk at 6 months old. and donated breast milk. he never slept, in fact, he was a “colicky” baby. he was angry. looking back, i had no idea he had brain damage. the only thing i noticed immediately were the eyes. the nystagmus. diagnosed retina damaged due to non delayed cord clamping. resulting in the nystagmus. tried fighting a case. completely dismissed because i had no money for a lawyer. no legal backup. the caused so many interventions. pitocin should be illegal to gove to women. induction due to preterm labor should be banned. i’m not even making a harsh claim. against all odds, i feel my child saved my life. my baby is 3. the age i was changing diapers, feeding my sister, abused. i remember it so vividly. i couldn’t imagine this life for my son. he’s so happy and so full of bliss. no matter what. i pray to god we make it thru. no evil intentions shall prevail. for the lord has me. i don’t feel scared saying anything. because the lord has me.

i looked at my blog from years ago. when i was a sex worker, when i was trafficked around and raped by several men, they shoved money in my mouth and spit on my face. they tormented me and told me my life was worthless. all for the “kink” i was a sex worker at 15, meeting up with men. men in the military, police men, hospital workers, pediatricians. the worst one was a dentist who paid for my dental pictures and teeth work. it was so insane. he literally went mia one day and could never find him. all these men told me they loved i was underaged. they knew. that’s why they were around me. and even more strange, i would go in public with these people. i would drink, smoke, do all these things in public with no ID, no hope, no anything. it truly makes you wonder how these things can even exist? the world has always been so gray and cruel to me. i know the advantages people in power get. i know the world is ran by filthy, nasty people. men and women. i know i felt like cattle. i knew they knew i was just “waste” i could die and no one would even bat an eye. i was homeless. but to everyone else, i was just a “runaway” i could of seriously been hurt. i don’t even know what happened when i would pass out. even more curiously, i never blacked out. no on alcohol, not on xanax, or mdma, or acid, or mushrooms, or coke. i was always so very aware of what was happening. and i took a lot. just crunching on 5-10 bars 2x a night. what is that? i can only think of it as it is happening in my head right now. what is that? what kind of life is that? i know that when i got older, past 13-16, men loved hearing how damaged i was they got off to it. i took the attention as love. oh these men want to hear me and listen to me. i became a mute at what?? 18. i was institutionalized and drugged at the mental hospitals. i struggled with panic attacks my whole life. different ones too. i feel like im floating talking about this. i’ve never typed it out. i’ve always written it down. i have a son who loves me very much and i love him very much. he is the light in such a dark place

my boyfriend broke up with me because i’m too negative. i had just taken my son to the cancer specialist and eye doctor. i was so overwhelmed with everything. all i wanted was a big hug and kiss. instead. he treated me like an anomaly. he treated me like i was insane. all these men. they look past men. all these men, they only see value in me when i give them my fake little happy faces. what if i told u i loved life. but i’m tormented. i have flashbacks every single day. i am not healed, i am only existing in such a world that i can’t even believe to be real. the only thing in my entire life, that has ever grounded me, that has ever felt real, are the words my son says to me. my son. the only thing that feels real. i feel pain in every fiber of my being. i feel it so deeply. i haven’t slept in days. i cannot eat. i am getting sick, throwing up and shaking. i can tell ive lost weight, in just 2 days? i was happy and eating before. this person gave me such clarity and hope. i thought i had an angel by my side. i thought the world wasn’t as cruel as it is. i thought i found true and honest love. i thought i was to marry him. the way my son would look at him and love him. they way my son grew with this person by them. only to be terrible betrayed. are all men like this. is this how my life is to be. i want only the best for my son. i will be going to school soon and finding a job thru my degree. i hope i make enough. it doesn’t need to be a lot. just enough for my son to be okay and know i did this all for him. because he’s the most important person in the world. i would lose all my color and oxygen to give him it all. he is my rock in this world and nothing will ever change that. i hope and pray no evil intentions prevail. he is the best thing to ever happen to me. he is why i still try. he is the reason. i dreamt about him before i ever had him. voices in my head told me he would protect me and that this is the life. voices in my head tell me i chose this life in particular. i am so glad i did. if it meant i got to meet my beautiful son.

[armatofu]

Fofó, nacido como Alfonso Aragón Bermúdez (Puente de Vallecas, Madrid, 08 de febrero de 1923 - Madrid, 22 de junio de 1976), fue un payaso y cantante español.

Fue miembro de los célebres Los payasos de la tele.

Nació en el Puente de Vallecas, en el seno de una familia de tradición circense.

Era hijo de Emilio Aragón Foureaux, conocido como Emig y sobrino de Pompoff y Thedy.

Su madre la acróbata ecuestre Rocío Bermúdez Contreras.

Cuando era muy joven, se unió a sus hermanos Gabriel y Emilio para formar el trío Gaby, Fofó y Miliki.

Comenzaron a trabajar como trío durante los años 1930 y se mantuvieron durante varias temporadas en el Circo Price de Madrid.

En 1946, tras la muerte de su padre, Fofó y sus hermanos abandonaron España y tras una estancia en México, recalaron en Cuba (donde nacerían sus hijos, Fofito y Rody, y donde debutarían en la televisión).

En los años siguientes, su espectáculo televisivo alcanzó un éxito considerable, y trabajaron en distintos países de América: Puerto Rico, Estados Unidos, Venezuela, y Argentina, entre otros.

Fofó y sus hermanos regresaron a España en 1972, y al año siguiente pusieron en marcha el famoso programa El Gran Circo de TVE.

Se hicieron figuritas, juguetes y llaveros con los hermanos Aragón.

En pleno éxito, el 22 de junio de 1976, Fofó murió a causa de una hepatitis B, al parecer contraída por la transfusión sanguínea recibida semanas antes en una operación exitosa de un tumor cerebral benigno.

Su fallecimiento supuso una auténtica conmoción en el país, por lo querido del personaje y lo inesperado de la noticia.

A couple of questions?

If you were trapped in a room for 24h whould you rather be with a mass shooter or a serial killer?

What do you think Eric"s and Dylans reaction to Dylans 20th birthday aka 9/11?

Any thoughts on Ethan Crumbley and the whole trial?

How much did Whitmans tumor play into the shooting in your personal opinion?

Thank you ! This is a fun ask to write about.

1. Mass shooter lmao

Because it's likely an avoidant teenage boy with emotional issues or a dude still stuck in his prepubescence stage in the room and that makes two of us. It would just be awkward. What are they gonna do, shoot me? The situation can be diffused by conversing the many reasons why that's unethical. It would either lead to us settling it out and no one gets hurt or a fist fight to the death after they won't listen so I grab their gun and beat them up with it

2. They'd either be excited or curious

If they hadn't grown over their edgy misanthrope phase then I think those boneheads would celebrate by lighting up fireworks and snickering like Beevus and Butthead. If they have matured, then I think they would see it as interesting, perhaps even research about it and follow the news. Maybe they'll also turn it into an inside gag where they think it's coincidental or something.

3. His parents are neglectful

I do believe his parents deserved to be incarcerated for involuntary man-slaughter because then again Ethan was still under their responsibility. The fact that a kid as young as 15 had perpetrated such an attack already speaks volumes on the neglect and parental duty his parents underperformed in, even failed. It's reckless for anyone to allow their child, who is clearly underaged, to have such easy access to firearms. Plus, I find it rather odd that his parents would deny to disclose documents and records that could provide more insight on his mental health and upbringing. It's pretty shady to do not help your son and instead allow him to speak for himself without solid and backed-up proof. It just makes it look like they don't want to talk about the reasons as to why their son had done such a crime, maybe it's because they play a role in that.

4. I think it amplified his already declining mental state

My brother who's in physiotherapy helped me on this so props to him

Charles has a malignant tumor (cancerous) located in his dietemporal lobe, which affects his thalamus. The thalamus is crucial for relaying motor and sensory information from the brain to the body, and it processes all information before transmitting it to the cerebral cortex. The thalamus is also connected to the limbic system, which is involved in processing and regulating emotions. As a result, the tumor has the ability to amplify his violent tendencies and emotional irregularities, impacting both his emotional state and his body's physiological responses to threats and aggression.

While the tumor may have contributed to his violent behavior, it's likely not the sole cause. Charles endured a childhood of abuse, which may have already significantly impacted his mental health. The tumor likely worsened his pre-existing mental issues, hindering him from properly coping and regulating his emotions.
