That child could've be hit by this lunatic. I guess he felt threatened too?

"Some of the fatalities are children".
The level of violence in the USA is, at a minimum, concerning. To put it ridiculously mildly.

Every single time that something like this - or a mass shooting, etc. - happens, I seriously wonder if it still would have happened if the offender knew for certain that he and/or the act would be getting zero publicity out of it; that no news media would be reporting it.
Because I am convinced that the large majority of these acts are done to 'send a message' and to get attention paid to something or someone. Without publicity, it happens in a vacuum - so, if knowing that the 'message' would not get to anyone, I believe that the number of these events would be cut in half, at the very least.

Of course, that was more possible to accomplish before 'social media' - because today, even if the mainstream media don't give these bad people the publicity they seek, 'social media' will give it to them.
The bus was missed on this issue... sigh...

Why does domestic violence always seem to be in the background of men who do things like this? If he was still behind bars five people would be alive.

So far no one on the bird app has defined what Level 5 Supervision is in Wisconsin.

Maybe because it is a escalating process? First you beat your wife, then your wife and kids, then you graduate to total strangers?
(I am not joking, but I obviously have no idea nor training nor qualifications to answer your question).
