Mark Becker's parents describe their son's mental-health problems and the downward spiral that led to the shooting death of Ed Thomas - ESPN

Wow...so many times it looks like this could have been avoided. Long, but good read.

Boy, that was a tough read. This story brings to light why Mark needs to be in a hospital environment. I can't help feeling sorry for him.

 

[The_Architect]

Wow, what a read.

 

[CyPride]

sad all the way around.

This is really well written. Truly tells a lot of the story. He truly was a great kid, smiled all the time, loved his family and his big brother a lot. Part of me wishes he would be going to a mental facility, but also see the other side as well.

It makes you understand and feel very sorry for Mark Becker. The guy was obviously very ill. Frankly, the guy belongs in a hospital not a jail.

So long as the guy never steps foot in public again I'd have no problem with him going to a mental health facility.
