Should we hate a mentally ill person for doing what mentally ill people do??
Who's to blame for the violence that happened at VA Tech? Certainly it was the gunman who acted as a self appointed executioner but he was obviously mentally ill. It was apparent to those around him for a long time. He was treated for mental disorder on an out patient basis in the past. Someone who is mentally ill is NOT in their right mind. Can we totally denouce such a sick person when they had little control of their sick mind. Why was he released into society when the health records stated that he was a danger to himself and possibly others? Why was he allowed to continue in school when he was showing signs of mental illness? And why on God's earth was he able to buy weapons. It's time to reform some of the gun laws. Virginia does not barr someone who has been mentally ill from purchasing a gun if they have not been institutionalized. This makes no sense at all and now the commonwealth has paid for such poor laws with the lives of some of it's finest young citizens. Let's be realisitic, instead of hatred for a sick man who needed to be stopped before he got to the point of murder and suicide. Doesn't some of the blame lie on those who realized he was not "Normal" yet did nothing to deter his actions if he should go over the edge of sanity. What about the lawmakers and the gun dealers? I find it very disturbing when a psychotic is cursed by so many for doing what pshycotic sociopaths do! We need better screening methods in our colleges to find these people, get them help or put them where they are not a danger to themselves and others. What good is it doing nows to denounce and curse this young man when he obviously slipped through the cracks that should have stopped him before he acted on his mental instability. No one chooses to be deranged and mentally defective, it's a sickness that often ends in tragedy if ignored and untreated. Click here to post or read comments.
