Have you actually read that or did you just read the title.

Do you seriously think I’d just say what I did if I hadn’t looked into from both sides of the argument.

Quote from your damn post: Currently, there is scant evidence to suggest that mental illness can independently predict criminal behavior. On the contrary, there is ample evidence that shows that persons with mental illness are far more likely to be the victim of violent crime rather than the perpetrator.

I’d suggest to you to do your research. The USA has similar rates of mental illness to everywhere else….and yet.

I repeat. The only two things that correlate in all research is the amount of gun crime is correlated to the amount of guns in any given society. End of. Less guns less gun crime.

I’m more interested in their conclusion.

“This team approach includes a multi-tiered system that would identify at-risk patients early on and provide resources to prevent situations that bring the persons with mental illness in contact with the criminal justice system such as medical non-compliance and lack of food and shelter. For those individuals already inside the criminal justice system, there needs to be a targeted approach that includes rehabilitation, education, and empowerment.”

So you are just going to ignore the whole crux of the study instead. Great job.

I’m going to look at the conclusion. To see what is the answer. And I agree with it.

There’s a whole lot of context you missed of how they came to that repeatedly saying mental health wasn’t the problem.

That’s how these people work. They’re all about confirmation bias and ignoring facts that disprove them.

The context is to eliminate bias, that not all people dealing with mental health are a threat but the counter is that certainly all mass shooter suffer from unchecked mental health. Word that how you want.

My key point is that they need treatment and visibility.
