re: How do we stop mentally ill people from doing heinous things to innocent people?

If they are mentally ill, how are you scaring and reasoning with them? Like taking guns away from law abiding citizens while criminals have them.

Did you not read my post. No more reasoning.

Only way to stop it, is to make examples out situations like this when they arise.


Hang the perp after cutting off the hand he pulled the trigger with.

People need to be afraid what happens if they are captured after committing a murder.

Prison is not scary enough

so your solution to the problem of people killing people for being/thinking differently than them is to get rid of all the people that think differently than you? doesn't that make you part of the problem we are trying to figure out how to fix

Clearly, these people (the left) cannot coexist with people who think differently than them. The right isn’t violent. There is no solution or middle ground.

People openly cheered when a guy assassinated the CEO of one of the largest companies in the United States. Unfortunately, violence is no longer seen as a negative to get viewpoints heard. Buckle up, because we more mentally ill than ever before and today's political landscape is an absolute pressure cooker. A person would have to be a fool to not see this for what it is, the beginning of a wild ride.

we need to bring back asylums

You can't

So your response to people who you claim are unreasonable is to refuse to engage in discourse and just ship them off? Think you’re failing to see why this makes no sense. Also can we as a whole quit acting like one singular wacko on either side of the political spectrum speaks for every single individual on that particular side.

Again, one side stands for lunacy, death, destruction, and immorality. They claim to be tolerant yet have least diverse thought as a party than Republicans. If someone from the Democrat party isn’t in lock step with the group, they are ostracized. There is no middle ground. Literally nothing can be done when one side resorts to fighting and violence when they can’t win on logic.

Divvying it up into left or right when talking about someone who is truly mentally ill is such a misnomer. Y'all have no idea.

At the end of the day, if you're going to institutionalize people for predicted behaviors, there's going to have to be an acceptance of treading on personal freedoms. And that's why it's almost impossible to long-term institutionalize people BEFORE they commit a heinous act.

Now, you can certainly make the argument that the system needs to be addressed when it comes to recidivism of potential crime/acts.

You are correct.
These insane acts of public violence, mass shootings, school shootings etc.. went into overdrive along with the internet and social media.

By putting them down when they are discovered to be a lost cause

Truly, human to human. I hope that you can find it within yourself to get out and talk to people of all beliefs. And have genuine conversations and see how and why people think the way they do. You may even learn something about yourself. Some things you may find your values and beliefs to be justified and with some others you may see it in a new light. My friend it sounds like you’ve fallen into a political echo chamber trap.
