Well when you put a stigma on mental health and you cause a lot of misery with your policies this will happen. Add in climate people are more aggressive when they are hot, and financial uncertainty this is a recipe for disaster.
Not to mention no universal healthcare for meds or doctors, and antiquated laws making it legally impossible for parents to help kids once they turn 18. If they have profound mental health disorders or addiction problems, they are fucked.
So many stories of people caring for their child with terrible health problems/addiction, only for them to fall through the cracks once they turn 18 and can’t care for themselves. :(
Oh man. This point hits home. Imagine being desperate enough to commit a crime because you are unable to afford healthcare and inmates have better programs than the general population.
A white male committing a crime drives less clicks. If a Muslim is in custody, we would be seeing more media coverage. If it’s white male in custody less coverage. Media cares about race/religion, I do not.
Its how the media works my dude. They’re mostly owned by fatcat billionaires. Its largely probably not even about clicks at this point as it is about finding groups to “other” your viewers/readers into being afraid of.
If people started hearing about how the largest demographics are going insane because rich people want more money then even the really racist people might start asking questions.
Maybe the reason that the news outlets are not chasing the reason for this crime is because of the race or religion of the man in question. Intra-race crimes get less clicks therefore less coverage.
Yeah, shooter here, stabber there… But nobody writes about their reasoning. Not so clickbaity? Or nobody can actually figure out why?

You can keep 'em on your medical insurance till they’re like 25 now.
Thanks Obama

Add in lead exposure to that list as well
Relevant video on the effects of lead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm_1XLKtGpI
Yeah but that mostly the Baby boomers issue. Explains a lot of what’s wrong with them. We now have forever chemicals and microplastics for rest of us.
At least the MicroPlastics don’t make us dumber like the lead. Just cancer 🤪
My guess is the suspect in custody is a white (likely Christian) male.
So you claim that being a white male is the reason, my racist “friend”?

Why did you bring up the race question then? I was talking about the reasons for the assault and the lack of public explanation of those reasons.

Oh, so you claim that those “outlets” report on the reasons in case of non-white offenders, hmm?
Inter-race crimes = more coverage = more investigative work as to motive
That’s not what he’s saying nor what happened here.
What happened is someone speculated it was a white Christian man.
That’s not reason. That’s rascism. Just because it’s against whites doesn’t mean it’s not racism.
No person should be profiles because of their skin color. no one.
But I claim that the reasons for these assaults have no coverage at all regardless of the race of assaulter or victims.
You mean discriminatory, not racist. It’s not possible to be racist towards white people in a country where white people are the oppressors.
You can see him in the parking lot video. The guy looks EXTREMELY disheveled. I’d be giving him a real wide berth if I were in a store with him.
