You said it quite well.
Our instant news feeds allow us to hear of things that would have taken days to get into the local paper that was the news source in the past and few stories got repeated from far away.
There have always been mentally ill people who have done terrible things and unless mental health help is available and is not considered something that stigmatizes people so they will not ask for help these things will continue.
One other thing that has increased the numbers killed by these sick people is the availability of machines to do the harm to others easily and without much muss for the perpetrator.
A person would not have been very successful in running people down with horses and wagons or a single shot gun.
Another factor is the way people and in too many cases politicians stir up hatred for 'the other' which they then downplay the worth of these 'others' which makes people think these 'others' are less than human and so easier to justify killing.
It's not the stigmatization why they don't get help, it's that they think everyone else is wrong and they are right. It's the roller coaster effect of emotion that is addicting, and the stabilization that is boring. It's the side effects of the drugs they don't think they need. It's the laws that protect them....
" it ain't against the law to be crazy." I've heard it repeatedly. It's ok, until it's not. And people get hurt when it's not.... this the cycle which our society needs to understand is not ok. It not ok for the law to step in after people are hurt. It's the laws job to secure the situation before people get hurt...... but that's not how it's setup currently. You'd be surprised how many people will enable a loved ones actions. Look no further than an alcoholic, he she surrounds themselves with enablers.
Holding people accountable for their actions is held as being judgmental in our society.
Our society is enabling crap parents. And crappy people to keep doing crappy things. We'd rather lock up the weed smokers than the child molesters. Go to jail for 500 years for stealing money, but maybe a couple years for rape.....
If you haven't been around mental illness, and im not talking about the slow but happy kind, Im talking about the "I see people who want to kill" kind, you should keep your opinions to yourself as your spreading false ideas that are setting society backwords....... or at least educate yourself with knowledge and experience before producing an opinion.
Us with experience and knowledge would appreciate it.
Thank you. |
