    Bullshit. Mentally ill people rarely commit assassinations or mass shootings. That sort of thing requires planning and foresight; a degree of functioning in society that mentally ill people are rarely able to perform by definition.

    The perpetrators might be “crazy” in a colloquial sense, but so is the typical right-wing celebrity.

      Let’s drop all the bipolar people off their meds at the same time. Things are going to be either clean as hell or dangerous af. You agitate someone who took YEARS to figure out the right combo of meds by taking it away, I promise you will be afraid for your life.

        I was thinking of that guy when I added the “rarely”.

        Still, how crazy was he? He fell in “love” with an actress after seeing her in a movie. Then he took a cue from that movie and tried to assassinate the US president Ronald Reagan to impress her. Crazy. Delusional. But how crazy is that really in comparison to, say, what the current US president believes and does?

    ShinzoAbe.exe.

    Apparently his party/rule did have some sticking points.

    Wikipedia: […] the assassination was motivated by Abe’s ties with the Unification Church. This was the first assassination of a former Japanese prime minister since 1936. A polarizing figure in Japanese politics, Abe was praised by his supporters for strengthening Japan’s security and international stature, while opponents criticized him for his nationalistic policies and historical revisionism, which they view as threatening Japanese pacifism and damaging relations with China and South Korea.

    Encouraging mentally ill people to assassinate politicians is encouraging suicide.

        But you’re saying it would have good consequences for society if someone with no hope in life used what time they have left to do something big to a bad person. You should be careful about saying things like that online. Someone might do it because of what you said.
