Stop Making Mental Illness the Blame for Mass Shootings

The land of the free and the home of the brave while it is brave it is by no means free.

While we once glorified the United States of America this land is by no means united, my friends.

The price we pay for our freedom is living with the possibility of domestic terrorism and white supremacy.

In the words of Childish Gambino, “This is America”.

With two back-to-back mass shootings in 24 hours over the weekend, the question everyone is asking is what is the blame?

If you ask President Trump, he will say mental illness and violent video games are the blame.

However if you ask an expert in medicine, psychology and mental health they will tell you mental illness is NOT the blame.
