Topic	Andrew Yang speaks out against mentally ill people.
averagejoel 06/17/21 12:48:52 PM #31:	Tenlaar posted... What he said is "we have the right to walk the streets and not fear for our safety because a mentally ill person is going to lash out at us." What part of that statement is wrong? I'm not really interested in you going far beyond what he actually said and responding about things he didn't say. statements like that still contribute to stigmatization pertaining to mental health. for example: people with mental illnesses are not more likely than the general population to perpetrate violent crimes, but they are significantly more likely to be victims of violent crimes. --- peanut butter and dick <cite>averagejoel posted [p:955130807] in Andrew Yan...
