lupin_bebop Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 17 is the last official count I saw. Too bad no one is actually going to try and solve shit. America definitely holds the record for amount of mass killings in 45 days, though. USA! USA! USA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsar4 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 10th Anniversary of the shooting at Cole Hall, Northern Illinois University. Yesterday, a Chicago Police Commander was gunned down by a guy who was wearing a body armor vest at the State of Illinois Building/Thompson Center. The guy's gun had a 30 round clip. The Commander was off-duty, heard the call nearby & went to assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or society could start to focus more on mental illness, something that alot of people like to glaze over when there is discussion about it. More funding, and more regulation on guns could help in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bipolar and schizophrenia for example.... most of these people are harmless they wouldn't touch a fly. Same with major depression, anxiety, etc.. I don't know exactly why people commit these acts, it may be connected to mental health but its not the mental health itself.... Hitler for example didn't have a 'mental health issue' he was a psychopath. I don't know if I got my point across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it takes a village to blame the government in the aftermath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the usually brings up a great point, in the beginning of their illness things can be fine, but as time progresses ignoring syptoms, they can grow into a deeper hatred. No human is stagnant, people change as they grow, and people isolated for a very long time can react in very violent ways, do I mean all people? No, I mean the ones who suffer from various illness and can do down different paths, including violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of our nations government shut down so many mental health programs in the 80s and there hasn't been real funding for it since. It's awlful how people ignoring this problem, it also leads an increase to the homeless population too. We find so many excuses to make tax cuts but never stop and think how it will affect the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People knew his adoptive father died when he was 4. People knew his adoptive mother died last month of the flu. People saw other things. Only one person raised a red flag, because of a post on social media & sent the screenshot to the FBI. They couldn't find the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimModSponges Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 You know whats a big red flag? Saying you could shoot people in the middle of fifth avenue and would suffer no consequences. Wait, no, thats not a red flag: its a red hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government needs to start setting priorities before either reducing or increasing taxes. Infrastructure, mental health programs, etc. should be placed above funding public television or other non essentials. Budgeting a government should be like budgeting a household, except on a grand scale. I mean, pay the utility bills before paying to paint the dining room. Pay for mental health services before deciding what to spend on PBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
