An Obstructed View

OUR VIEW: Mental health awareness, not guns, can prevent shootings [More]

So you're supposed to yell out "We understand that you're crazy!" and that'll stop things?

And speaking of nutty, this one really strikes me as a reality disconnect:

(Certainly the Kent State incident was also evidence of a national distress, but one we’re not likely to see again soon.)

Having experienced then and now, I wouldn't be so confident at predicting what "we're...likely to see again soon" under the current "national distress" level.
