If you speak up to a person with a mental illness you might be the one getting whacked.

I do support the notion and there are plenty out there that need help. But I am curious as to what brought this up now?

Here I was hoping it was a reference to all the mass killings of the genetically modified animals that's bred for the sole purpose of the McRib.

Murder has been going on since the beginning of time.

It's human nature, no?

Same here... D:

with his Uzi, and wounded her 15-year-old sister, Imelda, and an 11-year-old named Aurora Peña with the same weapon. Peña—initially wounded in the leg—had been shielded by her pregnant aunt, 18-year-old Jackie Reyes. In her later accounts of the incident, Peña said she felt her aunt's body "bucking and jerking" as Reyes was shot 48 times with the Uzi.

Yeah... we need weapons like this in the hands of civilians. To keep the government from tyranny or some such nonsense. :rolleyes:

Wow:

Several family members of those killed, along with survivors of the massacre, filed suit against the McDonald's Corporation and the local franchisee.

And:

In the weeks following the massacre, Huberty's wife and daughters stayed with a family friend. Amidst impromptu protests from some residents, Etna received the first payout from the survivor's fund.[35] In 1986, she unsuccessfully sued both McDonald's and Babcock and Wilcox, his longtime former employer, in an Ohio state court for $5 million.

What a horrible memory. I was living in San Diego back then, and had eaten at that McD's several times. There are nuts everywhere, but it seems that California has more than their fair share of them.

The victims were all Mexicans.

Did he have a grudge against Mexicans?

Except that he was from Ohio. Why do so many crazy people seem to come from Ohio?

OP,

Between this thread and your abortion post in the Hume thread, I am beginning to think you are a very negative person and just like so shock people.

I have trouble deciding whether people who keep blaming the tool and not the problem of mental illness for these kinds of mass murders are just flat out stupid or delusional.

Sixty Minutes did a segment a while back about how so many of the recent mass shootings were by undiagnosed and untreated schizophrenics like Jared Loughner.
