14 Children and Teacher Killed in Texas Elementary School Shooting

[unsunghero]

I’ve said before “mental health” is meant for people that are honest and voluntary to get help about their problems

Someone who intends to do a mass killing is not going to be honest about it with mental health professionals because they know we have a duty to warn and will try to prevent it. We don’t hook people up to polygraph machines, those machines aren’t even all that accurate to begin with. We don’t have human lie detector superpowers

The only shooters the mental health system can stop are people who are either too dumb (and you have to be REALLY dumb for this, because most mass shooters are already low IQ), or too psychotic to lie to a professional

So just like those proposing gun laws, what change to our mental health system could stop this shooter? Even if he was posting hateful and weird shit online, are we to lock him up in a facility that doesn’t exist anymore for the rest of his life? If we could do that for him, why don’t we do it for all the psychotic dangerous homeless people out there? The reason is because it’s. too. costly.
