Cause of Mass Shootings Mental Health?
by blondie ini have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.
i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.
it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

They (were trained) to harbor an "us and them" mentality. I know I'm stereotyping, but their level of hatred to the Arabs is extreme. Google "one shot two kills".
It's not ok to brag about killing a mother and unborn child with one bullet. That's just one example, it's a deep rooted problem. (in Israel)

Agree with BK's assessment from being there. These are some points I think should be taken into consideration.
On top of being disorganized, many are highly emotional. This adds to it being disjointed.
IMO, I think they are justified in disrupting the meeting for purely selfish and cathartic reasons (you tube aside). I base this on the principle of silencing/not believing allegations of abuse. This can drive people over the edge. I would expect to see more of this as more people exit, and would presume the videos alone could play a part in some waking up.
Add the two witness rule, to witnesses don't lie, and the kid has an active imagination, and abuse is silenced. So, yes this organization is so destructive that it deserves no respect.

An 80 year-old man goes to the doctor for his annual check-up, and gets a clean bill of health. "Everything looks great," says the doctor, "What's your secret?" "I have a personal relationship with God" answers the patient, "In fact, every night, when I get up to use the bathroom, he turns the light on and the off when I'm done." "Wow that's incredible," exclaims the doctor. Later that day, the doctor calls the man's wife just to confirm the story about the man's personal relationship with God. "Does God really turn the bathroom light on and off for your husband?" he asks. "Aw Jeez," answers the wife, "He's peeing in the refrigerator again." -

Fearing for life is not a valid argument for being a Christian. A Christian is suppose to go to death (or shunning) to do the "right thing" for his fellow man. It is only after that when the matter is left in Jehovah's hands.
Ok, you can go back to putting your fingers in your ears and saying "LALALALALALALA"
