The YouTube Shooter Defied Identity Stereotypes - Can We Talk About Mental Illness Now?
We’re wasting a lot of time and energy pointing to something that’s not to blame for murders. Whether it be the gun, the gender, or the NRA, we spend a inordinate amount of time we could be using more wisely to get down to the real cause of many a murder, and that’s mental illness.
Everyone from celebrities to the random Twitter user immediately broke out into finger pointing the moment the shooting was announced. So many predictions from the gender, to the skin color, to their political affiliation was blamed.
All of them were mistaken when it turned out that the shooter was an anti-capitalist, Hitler quoting Iranian woman who was also a militant PETA activist that made the most cringe-worthy music videos.

That tweet aged real fast.
Posted in response to the tweet, “If this shooter at YouTube isn’t a white male with far-right leanings, I’ll eat my f–ing hat….”

Gun grabbers will point out that the firearm is the connection that links them all, and that this is the culprit for all the pain and suffering. That’s like saying the chisel is responsible for the sculptors statue, or that the rain cloud is responsible for getting you wet. The sculptor had an artistic drive, and the cloud only released water due to a build up of precipitation.
The gun was the tool used to commit the murder, but in the absence of guns, a person intent on killing someone will reach for the next available tool. It might be a knife, or a hammer, or a screwdriver. No matter how you swing it, a killer who wants to kill will find a way to kill.
This was recently proven as London, a place where even the police don’t carry firearms, surpassed New York in murders due to a string of knife attacks.
So guns do not connect the murders after all. But there are base line behaviors that cause these violent tendencies.
There are societal pressures that definitely cause murders, such as the kind seen as a result of gang violence and drug deals. Then there are those that typically come with mass shootings, mental illness.
The sad thing is, we still haven’t probed deeper into what kind of mental illnesses trigger murder, but they’re there waiting for us to discover. We waste so much time blaming things that have little to do with the murder out of fear and agenda driven misreporting that the public knows very little about the warning signs. And as we stew in our own ignorance, we also shun the most effective means of stopping these murders out of blind fear.
How many lives have been lost because the rules prevented someone from coming to the rescue with a firearm? How many kids would be at home with their parents now if we had paid attention to the bold and loud warning signs that gun-free zones do not stop guns and haven’t for decades?
We are wasting time, and we’re wasting lives in order to avoid arriving at an inevitable conclusion. Guns are not the problem here. The problem is somewhere in the mind, and we need to probe deeper into these problems and bring them into the light.

what about a talk about gun regulation?
Guns regulation can reduce gun related deaths. not Murders, since you can murder people without guns No one states that without guns there will be less murders
No doubt there would be less deaths if guns were more regulated. Guns make murder far more convenient. With the rise to more and more powerfull guns on the open market, deaths have increased. Back in the days of the snub nosed 38 being used to knock over gas stations and machine guns in the hands of bank robbers being rare, murders were far less.
It is a hell of a lot easier to send a projectire through the air at high velocity and kill someone 100′ away than it is to throw a rock that far and bean somebody.
Imagine some nut case on the roof of a building hurling rocks at random strangers in a crowd. The damage pales next to that which could be dolled out with an semi-automatic rifle.
A liberal kills another liberal because of their liberal policy. Some things never change.
Youtard forgets the work some people put in their videos and then discards them like rubbish. Yeah, you piss some people off.
she’s finally a ‘youtube’ celebrity whether she really killed herself on site or not , still no word out of coroner’s office

SOLUTION:
It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns.
We don’t need gun control, we need Democrat control.
Guns don’t kill people, Democrats do!
Yeah Gomer, its’ those damn libs who are responsible for the worlds ills.
Learn to think for yourself, turn AM talk radio off.
