All people who are mentally I’ll do not commit acts of violence HOWEVER most acts of violence ARE COMMITTED by someone who is mentally ill!!
Most of the high profile murderers in the news over the past 15 years or so were taking harmful drugs before being diagnosed as being mentally ill. There was a time when mentally ill people committed fewer violent crimes per capital than sane people, but that was when most of them hadn’t been abusing drugs or taking wrongfully prescribed drugs first. It was commonly known in general/introductory psych. classes through the 1980s.
Not sure why your reply to my statement regarding “mental illness” requires anger. This (your first comment): “Mental illness is the root of EVIL!!” is very different from the one you just replied to me (2nd comment): “All people who are mentally ill do not commit acts of violence HOWEVER most acts of violence ARE committed by someone who is mentally ill !!”—a) Your first statement implied that mental illness is the cause of all evil- that is not a true statement- evil and mental illness are NOT same-, and your comment disparages ANYONE who has struggled with a mental illness. b) Your 2nd comment is more accurate- many, (but not all nevertheless) acts of violence are done by someone with a mental illness but the converse simply is not true. I do understand that you are VERY angry with the shooter AND very angry that this happened at all (more appropriate place for your anger to be directed- rather than at anyone who has ever had a mental illness, or at me). I’m angry it happened as well-
