Mass Violence in America: the All Inclusive Thread

[Teelie]

The only issue with suicides and such is you never really get a proper why, except for "mental illness".

The favorite scapegoat of guns rights activists. Blame mental illness, not the actual insane number of guns everywhere in the country.

They blame mental illness, and vote against any funding for mental healthcare.

I don't get why that even happens. They pay for dentists and eye doctors, but not shrinks. Who saves more lives? Shrinks do.

566 mass shootings this year. What are we even doing?

I didn't know they were that common. More than 1 a day.

They clearly don't. The data pretty strongly shows our problem has more to do with all those pesky guns lying around.

Beavercreek Walmart mass shooting: 4 injured

 

[blueharvest]

At least no one died this time. Four people taken to the hospital. Sounds like they'll be okay.

 

[squeekness]

What is it about Walmart that makes people just want to shoot them up? Isn't this the third or fourth one now?
