who the hell are the "experts"? whoever they are, they are trying to prove a squishy, PC, and ultimately silly point; "you're okay, I'm okay, and the mentally ill aren't bad people. kumbaya".
that's hardly the point. this is about public safety, not public health. no one is suggesting that we put all of the unbalanced people in camps, but insisting that there is no relationship between being emotionally unbalanced and going and a shooting spree is stupid and dangerous. and it flies in the face of observable reality.
Violent Acts Not Caused By Mental Disorders, Experts SayAs a lot of the media has been discussing issues of mental health lately, largely due to the shooting spree by Jared Loughner, many experts have spoken out about various aspects of mental illness and the individuals who may be affected with some type of mental disorder.
While no official reports have released the mental state of Jared Loughner, discussions of mental illness are largely speculation. However, some mental health experts claim that individuals who have mental health disorders are no more likely than people who do not have a disorder to commit acts of violence.
The National Institute of Mental Health has released statistics claiming 25 percent of individuals over the age of 18 experience symptoms that could be classified in some type of mental disorder.
