Velshi is being very dishonest when one considers the fact that it is countries like Japan, Hungary, and Germany that have among the highest suicide rates in the world.
I recently read an article on Japanese youth suicide that discussed things such as about 4600 young Japanese between ages 10 and 21 kill themselves on average per year and that the start of the school year and the national high school exam time are the worst times for this. It would take more that 250 mass school shootings (like Columbine or Stoneman) per year for the United States to equal the Japanese youth suicide number. Another not entirely uncommon thing to take place in Japan involves men coming home from work only to find that the wife has taken her life as well as those of the kids.
In the United States we have suicide by needle. Drug overdoses by opioids — a class of drugs that includes prescription painkillers as well as heroin and potent synthetic versions like fentanyl—killed 64,070 Americans in 2016, a 21 percent increase over the previous year. These deaths exceeded the 40,327 motor vehicle deaths in 2016. This number also exceeds the 58,200 American lives lost for the entire Vietnam War!! This goes on even when the illegal use of these drugs is a felony.
Where are the huge ‘do something’ demonstrations wanting an end to these suicide by needle deaths?
