I'm glad you deleted the part of your post where you talked about my math & trash opinions. That was definitely smart on your part. It's marginal compared to the likelihood for future violent behavior when underlying factors are also taken into account. For example, 10% of people with both...

The title of this thread is mass killings. Not gun violence by mentally ill individuals that results in suicides. Why would American media outlets overstate the amount of mass shootings in America, but understate it for everywhere else in the world?? What do you think their motive would be for...

I never knew the NCBI was a repository for spurious information & pseudo science. How foolish of me to think papers written by PHDs and researchers, actually had valid findings 🤷‍♂️ The difference in the rate of violence amongst those who are mentally ill, compared to those who are sane, is...

Exactly. Many of these people are getting entangled in cycles of gun violence because of geography or retaliation. Simply based on where you live could put you in direct conflict with adjacent blocks or warring factions even if you don't have gang affiliation.

That's because increasing spending on mental health as a percentage of the national budget is not going to help reduce this country's gun violence epidemic, in any meaningful way whatsoever. That's just a myth that continues to get perpetuated by gun right advocates. The same story applies to...

The morons in this thread who continue to blame gun violence on mental health, are suffering from illusory truth. Smh There is simply no factual link between mental illness and violence against others. In fact, individuals with mental health disorders are more likely to be victims of a violent...
