Brother of that mentally ill Gun man at the School is a Fool

[JI7]

he is on piers morgan. he is upset Obama called up and thanked the woman who talked his brother out of doing anything any harm. he said Obama should do something to help mentally ill people instead of calling her up and how a lot of people have probably already tahnked her. he complained about the race card after piers morgan brought up how there has been a pattern of young mentally ill and mostly white guys in these mass hootings. he said gun control would not do anything because people will get guns and they come from somewhere else.

he doesn't sound like some hateful bigot. but he sounds like he isn't very smart and is repeating things he heard from bigots around him.

1. That man is a fool

What that woman did was simply amazing and heroic. He should be thanking that woman for keeping his brother out of prison for life or killing himself and having to live with the stigma of a mass murderer for a brother.

2. Didn't see the interview but I can see where he's coming from

We need a major overhaul of mental health services in this country with more psychologists and less psychiatrists. Prescription medication seems to be the be all/end all these days and some of these medications may be causing more problems then they are solving. Insurers need to be forced to cover therapy sessions for longer periods with the same or smaller co-pays that physician visits receive.

I doubt the President can get any major reform through the current congress but he could start a dialog on the subject to get more people talking about it. You can remove all the guns from the country but it will not stop the pain and suffering that these individuals are going through.

3. That would simply be another conversation

with people who don't give a shit about other people. Throw it on the pile with the conversation about jobs, economy, healthcare, immigration, banks run amuck, voting rights being trampled, the minimum wage joke, tax reform, and on and on and on.

4. the problem was he seemed dismissive of her and annoyed by giving her thanks, when piers

tried to talk to him it wasn't as if he had a lot to discuss about metnal health issues and what to do to get help for people. and he complained about the race card.

i guess you have to see the interview to get what i'm saying.

5. Your probably right, I'm missing the context.

But I have nothing against the President thanking her and the bravery it took to do what she did. The brother sounds like someone who has some bigotry or racism in him if what you're saying is correct. The race card was not necessary but I wonder if there is a correlation between race and access to healthcare where whites are more likely to receive psychotropic medications regardless of whether they need them or not (acting up in class, medicate them) and these mass shootings.

7. So why didn't he seek mental health treatment for the gunman rather than the police

when said brother attacked him?

6. He's upset that the president thanked

someone, the hero? Oh brother. He's probably thinking that gays getting married wrecks his life, also.
A fool.
