So, what did this mentally ill child shoot the other children with? Depression?
Somebody can be mentally ill and premeditate a crime, but an insanty plea has a high threshhold involving a lack of awareness of wrong-doing at the time of the crime.
I agree with you, however, in as much as being mentally ill is not a crime, nor the primary cause of the crime.
We have security measures in schools after the Dunblane massacre in 1996 which was perpetrated by an adult. Gates are now locked and there are keypad locks on school buildings. I've not heard of school shooting drills.
Prior to Dunblane, our only other school shooting was in 1850.
There was a college incident earlier this year where two teachers sustained relatively minor knife wounds tackling a student who waved a gun about in one hand and held a knife in the other, shouting for other students to run away.
We have plenty of mentally ill school students and people in the general population, but very few guns, or mass shootings, ergo the issue is opportunity, not mental illness.
Hopefully they will figure out the insanity of the issue.
Don't know the story aside what is posted here so, my opinions are baseless.
