“Experts say”
Fact check: experts don’t exist other than the one’s working in MBC’s
News Room.
But the Left is eager to create many more crazy people with their Woke crappola.
They are impossible to prevent unless you want to preemptively lock down everyone in a little cell.
People can be totally evil and unpredictable. Shall we incarcerate everyone we think might commit a crime?
Best we can do is reduce and minimize. Make schools secure like an airport. Armed security that actually does their job. Social policy that discourages fatherless households. Open carry, in the secured schools too. Involuntary commitment for people who are out of touch with reality. Punishment for actual threats of violence.
As tragic as these events are, far more are killed by youth gangs in our inner cities than die in mass shootings in a school. Yet the former is never discussed.
I see three basic approaches:
1) Help PEOPLE get the mental health care they need.
2) Help PEOPLE make safer schools and protect themselves inside the schools.
3) Help GOVERNMENT take away our God-given rights by confiscating our guns.
2 of these ideas seem sensible to me.
1 of these ideas is the only thing the media and the politicians want to consider.
It is impossible to “prevent” these shootings. The solution lies in how to deal with them when they happen.
The “mental health community” has caused enormous damage in the past 50 years.
this is straight up Bull sh!#. My b.s. alarm went off so loud it hurt my head!! there is a mental illness(es)involved in anyone who murders another.
not everyone who is unbalanced is a murderer, but every murderer is unbalanced.
Bring me a person who shot at another that wasnt unbalanced unless it was clearly self defense.

Mental health services, and prison systems are the first agencies that Democrats historically defund. They choose to close psych centers and prisons, and toss residents, and inmates back onto the streets. And these days, Democrats aren’t interested in locking people up for their crimes. By releasing perps, even violent ones, within hours of their arrests, they keep the jail and prison populations down, and they then claim that crime has actually gone down.
If someone, a student, anyone, wants t kill people and doesn’t have ‘access’ to a gun they will use anything they can, They will use a car, a knife, make a bomb, etc., there are many ways to commit a mass killing and history proves you don’t need a gun to do it. The left has an agenda and that is to remove guns from everyone but law enforcement, politicians, the wealthy, celebrities, and of course criminals so naturally they say there is nothing that will be effective without taking guns from the unwashed proletariat so they can’t defend themselves.
“Less than 10 percent of shootings nationwide involve a suspect who has a mental illness, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.”
If this sentence where laying in my cats litter box he’d still be in there trying to cover it.
Who said it was easy
Just shows that Democrats aren’t serious about solving the problem.
They are serious about Conservatives not having the means to defend themselves.
I don’t think it’s so much a mental health problem as a social one. If school shootings were “unknown” then they wouldn’t suddenly become known because someone was having a mental health crisis. The problem is that our society craves notoriety and attention. Famous people, some of them famous just because they’re...well, famous...Paris Hilton comes to mind, have massive social media followings. People with weak egos crave the attention they’d get if something they do goes viral. If they have no talent, then the only thing they can do is something disgusting. The more disturbing, the better. That’s the crux of the problem. The first step in bringing this under control is to take that fame and notoriety away from them. No names of any shooters ever. I don’t see that happening in our present society.
Mandatory once a year psych checks for all kids starting in 8th grade. Anyone deemed unstable is flagged and referred to a mandatory professional evaluation.
And being unsure what sex you are should be an automatic flag.
Maybe they could actually try it? All of these deranged adolescent males were practically screaming their intentions, either on social media or conversations or even in schools. None of them seem to have gotten more than the most minimal “help” and some didn’t get any at all.
We need to go back to long-term involuntary commitments in residential facilities for adolescent mental health care. And the justice system, what little remains of it, has to start doing its job and getting these crazy kids off the streets and out of the schools.
“Blaming mental health is a deflection from the fact that gun control is a necessary part of prevention.”
Corrected to:
“Blaming firearms is a deflection from the fact that mental health control is a necessary part of prevention.”
Think about it. Sandy Hook and Uvalde.
The warning flags were there but were ignored.
Similar warning signals are being ignored in other communities right now.
I’m not sure the “mental heath community” can solve anything. Almost every mass school shooter has been on psycho drugs. Not sure about this one, I wonder if we will know.
