| Topic | An FBI Study shows that WHITE MALE SHOOTERS are NOT Raging LUNATICS!! |
| DarthGravid 06/23/18 12:14:04 AM #3: | Committing to carrying out a mass shooting is not a rational or "normal" thought. Something is wrong, somewhere in that persons mind. The "25% diagnosed as mentally ill" statistic troubles me. It that diagnosed before the attack? Or is it a combination of before and after? You cannot diagnose a dead person as mentally ill, and quite a few of these shooters do not survive the event. Then you have to account for the legal system. Prosecutors do not go out of their way to get "guilty by reason of insanity" pleas, especially when it's a clear, easy path to a conviction. Another problem is that District Attorneys are elected officials, and letting a mass shooter off with an insanity plea could cost them an election. The public demands "blood for blood" in these cases. And if that wasn't enough, it can take years to properly diagnose mental illness. The people demand swift justice. This leads to a rushed conclusion, that is most likely incorrect. TLDR : The first paragraph covers the main point, the rest is fleshing it out. --- Torn between two minds. Is either correct? Perhaps together.....but how? Can it be done? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
