Re: OP all-purpose response (Re: Mass shootings and The Mentally Ill)

[(Anonymous)]

And people are able to make the crucial distinction between mentally ill people and people who do mass shootings, because one of the important points to be made is that mental health issues are fairly pervasive, and it's your brother, it's your sister, it's your mother, and it calls for compassion. And people who aren't making ridiculous comments on news sites, or posting on far-right paranoiac blogs, can see that.

Okay well on a similar vein how many people have been keeping gay marriage illegal because they think "every gay man is a pedophile" or that it will lead to people marrying their dogs? I've heard both those arguments over and over and over and over and they're both ridiculous but there's apparently enough people who believe these ridiculous ideas that gay marriage is still illegal in most places.

Frankly, I don't trust that the "people who aren't making ridiculous comments on news sites" are any better than the ones who Are making ridiculous comments, because it's a mob mentality. Mentally ill people are a scapegoat right now, something to point fingers at so they feel better about themselves and have something to blame for a senseless violent act.
