The problem with "clear warning signs" of impending tragedy is that sometimes they're false alarms, and now you've ruined someone's day to the fullest extent of the law.

Now that's a warning sign.

Day? I’m pretty sure it would at least ruin their month. But, you know, one person’s shitty month is definitely worth several people’s lives, so either be sure, or try reporting it to someone other than the police, like a school psychiatrist or the closest you can get in your situation

That's just calling the cops with extra steps lol.

But my point is that if I were annoyed enough with society to consider logging myself or others out of life, being forcibly exposed to the worst society has to offer would really help the decision making process.

Oh, that went entirely over my head, lol.
