People so much smarter than myself had responses to the CNN article. I post their comments as ANSWER... in Green. CNN article in Blue. My commentary in Black
Trump's language on school shooter's mental health could be harmful...
https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/22/health/trump-mental-illness-comments-bn/index.html
Ahhh let me count the way of hypocrisy:
In a tweet Thursday, President Donald Trump described someone who would shoot up a school as a "savage sicko."
ANSWER: The freaking guy just murdered 18 kids and you are worried about "stigmatizing some mental deranged people.
NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch described the gunman as "an insane monster" who is "nuts" and crazy." And at a White House briefing Thursday, the President again used the term "sicko."
ANSWER: Maybe Trump should have referred to him as a POS.
But then, CNN would probably come back to defend shit.
But having a mental health diagnosis does not mean he would become violent, many experts say.
Corrigan also points out that it's wrong for a politician to use someone like Cruz -- or Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza or any other school shooters -- to imply that someone with a mental illness diagnosis is more likely to be dangerous or violent.
ANSWER: Not everyone who has mental health problems goes on shooting rampages so don't generalize. Not everyone who owns a gun or supports the right to own a gun goes on a shooting rampage but DO generalize.
But having a mental health diagnosis does not mean he would become violent, many experts say. And although Trump has said he wants to focus on mental health to stop school shootings, calling Cruz a "sicko" doesn't help, those experts claim.
ANSWER: "shaming Trump for calling the Parkland shooter a “sicko” on the grounds that it’s stigmatizing to people with mental health problems who aren’t all mass shooters of children."
So hold on. It's unfair to call mentally ill folks who haven't shot up a school "sickos" but it's totally righteous to call NRA members who haven't shot up a school "murderers."
"When it comes to mental health, language really matters. This is not about being politically correct. It's about wanting to do everything we can to encourage people to get health treatment that works," said Ron Honberg, senior policy adviser with the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
ANSWER: "CNN has a whole story devoted to shaming Trump for calling the Parkland shooter a “sicko” on the grounds that it’s stigmatizing to people with mental health problems who aren’t all mass shooters of children."
Let me rephrase that in a way you will never see on CNN:
"CNN has a whole story devoted to shaming liberals for exploiting the Parkland shooting on the grounds that it’s stigmatizing to people who legally own guns who aren’t all mass shooters of children."
There are another 10 or so paragraphs to the article... I'll leave it at these... so many more though...
