Mental Health is not the issue in shooting a gun.

Mental health doesn't keep anyone from killing. The problem is the guns. One of the things gun owners know is that they can be killed by their own weapons. That is what happened in this case.

The children were slaughtered. They were slaughtered. They weren't slaughtered by anything else, but, guns. They were slaughtered. Making summations about this being a mental health issue is disrespecting their deaths.

Mental Illness is not a cultural issue. Mental illness is a medical problem. Medical problems are a SYMPTOM of a culture but is not the culture itself. If people smoke tobacco, they get lung cancer. If they indulge in a culture of violence they seek weapons.

These 'experts' about how 19 year olds often manifest their schizophrenia which has been latent all those years are wrong. The brain at that age is undergoing changes and those changes allow all sorts of behavior. Any parent of a nineteen year old knows how difficult they can be.

Schizophrenia occurs in many, many cultures. It is not an American phenomena. Japan has people with schizophrenia, they don't go around slaughtering children.

Aspergers is not the issue. Absolutely not the issue and the media needs to stop victimizing those with Asperger Syndrome.

The very good evidence will be interesting, but, there will no reason for the slaughter. There is no reason, expect, there are too many guns on the street. If the shooter's mother didn't own and brandish guns as a center to her joy, she'd be alive right now. She might still have a difficult son to deal with, but, she would be alive. Somehow that isn't suppose to mean something? Either a nation values the lives of their citizens or it doesn't. These deaths could have been prevented but wasn't.

The media in the USA has a lot to do with these events.

In his weekly radio and Internet speech, (click here) Obama also repeated a message he put forth on Friday, just hours after one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history, on the need to set aside politics and "take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this."

But Obama went no further than that, and again stopped short of specifically calling for tighter gun-control laws....

What does a journalist think "take meaningful action to prevent" means? It means there needs to be less accessibility to guns. But, yet they'll try to steer the dialogue of the nation into issues with mental health all the time. They target the 'actor' and not the weapon. They do that in support of gun lobbyists. There is a segment I listened to about how this was schizophrenia mixed with bi-polar disorder that pulled the trigger when the journalist knew absolutely nothing about the 'personality disordered' young man.

KTLA's Rick Chambers allows fantasy to exist about a shooter (click here). It is an amazing segment. Chambers wants to make basket cases of parents in targeting the mother for the problem with the shooter.

...The shootings took place in two first-grade classrooms around 9:30 a.m., sources said, and one witness said she believed as many as 100 rounds had been fired. All of the adults and 18 of the children were pronounced dead at the school. Two more students died at a hospital. A single victim was injured but not killed....

The undermining of decency in the USA occurs over our media and it is a parent's worst nightmare. The mother owned guns legally under the laws of the USA as they exist. The fact of the matter is the young man had access to weapons that were legally within our society. If the availability were not there, twenty children and the adults that loved them would still be alive today. It is access that is the problem and nothing less. 

The culture of violence that exists in the USA is horrible. It was spawned about a decade ago and it is among the worst civilized cultures on Earth. Whatever happened to Lassie?

The culture is violent, the media supports that culture even by introducing fantastical imagineering into the dialogue of the country among adult viewers. That is what is so amazing about Chamber's trip into the unknown. It was to build a fantasy of explanation around the shooter as if it is he we can all control. That is nonsense and to feed that garbage to an adult audience to attempt to steer the course of the country in limiting access to guns is not only an ethics issue, but, it has to be some sort of tort in the law.

Propaganda is a lie. Chambers manufactured a lie for his viewing audience and then stands on it to state, "The nation needs to focus on mental health." He might be right, but, it is the sick media that needs the most help.

Why? Why? Why?

Why? Because the guy had a guns, that's why!

Last night was nearly laughable on Anderson Cooper 360 if the tragedy wasn't so heinous. He stated, "We are not going to talk about the gunman...blah, blah, blah." And then he goes on talking about the gunman. During the time he was talking about the gunman he was stating "We are not going to talk about the gunman." He ranks right up there with Chambers with the issue of propaganda and misdirecting the focus of violence in the USA to continue to justify it. Cooper should be asking those parents, the parents of Columbine and all the shootings since Columbine how they see violence and the free flow of guns in the USA. That would be an improvement!

There are a lot of gunmen in the USA. There are a lot of deaths EVERYDAY in the USA. Try talking about that and then just maybe the propaganda will stop and the killing will, too.
