"Thoughts and Prayers"

Farts are just as cheap but you know they're there.
 
Agreed.

Universal mental health care, on demand, without apology.

That's the only solution.

Voluntary or mandatory? Institutionalized or free-range? How many of which medications, and who pays and profits? The development of major tranquilizers emptied many mental hospitals, putting medicated loonies into their communities. We see how well that's worked. What to expect next?
 
You're right, I should just tell people to go fuck themselves whenever a tragedy happens to them.

Voluntary except in extreme cases, which would have to come with adequate safeguards and checks and balances.

No profit.

Med-based treatment alone doesn't work. Comprehensive and holistic mental health care, for everyone. That's the only solution.
 
Jesus Dicker, you're really hung up on the mental health bit.

Why not just have mandatory mental health screening at various age thresholds? Those that don't meet certain guidelines are then assigned to various treatment regimens. Drugs only, out patient (with or without drugs), and institutionalized. And just to make certain those that are prescribed drugs take them, they have to show up at a local, and conveniently located, dispensary at an assigned time.

BUT

Who writes the guide lines and who administers the tests?
 
The go to when the shooter is not Muslim (we need a ban), an immigrant (secure our borders), or black (we need more police to the inner cities to tame these thugs).

Predictable.

...and when they are Muslim, the next move is to "condemn these acts of terrorism".

Wow, that'll show 'em.

Russian diaspora who live in the US and Putin
are greatful to you for advocating in their behalf.

As are all other White European immigrants.

Amen!
Hypoxia, preach it!!
Question Everything!!!
 
So, We are saying people with mental issues will go and seek help before they go off the deep end. The answer is no. Most of these people never show signs of this “type” of behavior before the act. Yes maybe they show signs they may be disgruntled, a loner or some other ”. But very few have ever gone to seek professional help. The only people that may have a real clue would be family or friends. Even then (like the Las Vegas shooter) they seem off but harmless. Better Health care is not an answer. The real issue is, Just like terrorist (we will not go Muslim and profile in that way that is not politically correct) they feel the greater good or a cleansing needs to be done. In their mind they are not crazy or wrong. This simply has to be done.

Just a thought.

Oh yes and on the “thoughts and prayers part” Yes you are right we should just say “sorry you child/mother/sister/brother/husband was killed just shot. But really you should just get over it and call your Congressman so he can make hollow promises about how to deal with all this. Even thou there is nothing they can do to stop crazy or religious convictions. Yep sounds much better than Thoughts and prayers”
