So is this the usual "white skin? Yes:Mental health issue; No: Terrorist" thing?

Update

30-year-old Kai-Ji Adam Lo was charged with eight counts of murder in relation to the crash at the Lapu Lapu Festival on Saturday.

It's the usual healthcare system drives person completely insane. CEOs get huge bonuses.

Lo did not have previous criminal charges against him, but a troubled family history. His brother was murdered last year, and Lo condemned the “senseless act of violence” when he launched a GoFundMe donation campaign...

A few months later, in August, he reportedly again asked for donations, this time for his mother who had attempted suicide and needed hospitalization for a month.

A relative of Lo had contacted a local hospital’s psychiatric ward barely hours before the attack because of his worsening mental health, Vancouver Sun reported.
