"someone with a mental illness is very unlikely to commit a crime"

wait, wtf did i just hear

What would Africa have been like if it weren't colonised and slaves not taken?

Lupita Nyong'o is a very intelligent woman who articulates well but I'm sceptical of the belief that Africa could have been Europe or America had it not been for whitey's taking all the resources.

She's right, just looking at it like an idiot. I don't care what % of mentally ill people commit crimes, i care what % of school shooters are mentally ill.


that guy who said they "proved the 2nd ammendment doesnt cover assault weapons in maryland" was a real trip

If it wasn't colonised and slaves weren't taken and it was left to develop internally without the benefits of cultural exchanges like europe/asia had, then they'd all be living in mud huts right now. The memes true at least
Its the same deal with native americans above the mesoamerican line and aboriginals. Human cultural development happened in a very short span of biological history, we are about 100 generations removed from the bronze age and now we fly spaceships, but homo erectus diverged about 70000 generations ago. Mediterranean and asian cultures had the benefits of thousands of years of cultural upheavals and exchanges to rapidly civilize, while sub-saharan africa and other more isolated cultures lagged far behind in development.
When the american indians were building cliff palace in mesa verde, thomas aquinas was penning Summa Theologiae at Orvieto. Granted as far as that comparison goes the cathedral didn't go up for another hundred years, but Cologne was "contemporary" so let me cite that

i personally think every highschool should have the same security as colleges do.

my college had armed campus security. they patrolled the perimeter in their tiny little white pickup trucks 24/7. also you'd see them randomly walk by and check classrooms every now and then. i always saw one or two every day

my highschool just had a couple fat security officers wobbling around thinking their hot shit on their walkie talkies. and then 1 safety officer who just chatted to kids in the cafeteria for an hour and left.

not a permanent solution to this issue, but it's something i think could be added as an additional layer.

usa school shootings are similar to DDOS/DOS attacks. you can never really mitigate the attack (deranged person inflicting evil) -- but the more layers you have to prevent it (ddos filtered IP, drop all ports, but only allow certain ones, rate limiting, software level firewall, etc, etc), can help.

I agree and hope the layers rhetoric becomes more common!

you could provide alien technology to every african to fulfill their every need in an instant, they'd still shit in the streets and the pic below would still be the everyday norm

Clearly Africans are just a lower breed of animal. Subhuman. I mean that's what you're saying isn't it?

Depends on the mental illness. I have really bad anxiety and I am extremely unlikely to commit a crime because of the stress it would cause me.
