Why aren’t we talking about this??!!

this is important!

We know why.

It doesn’t fit the narrative..

Can we get this dude a kickstarter to raise enough for a high-end meal and cab fare for him and his family? He clearly deserves it.

(Marine Corps Times article) (CBS news story)

“By creating the exit, Yousuf estimated that about 70 people were able to get out of the nightclub safely.” He saved 70 people. That’s 70 more people that could have died that night. This is so important.

Don’t armchair diagnose mass shooters and other killers. The misconception that all violent people must be mentally ill (and the following conclusion that all mentally ill people must be dangerous) has horrible real life consequences for visibly mentally ill people.

Schizophrenic people are 14 times more likely to be a victim of a violent crime than committing one because people assume that we’re homicidal and dangerous and may react very negatively to visibly mentally ill behavior, partly due to all the media portrayals of schizophrenics as violent killers.

50% of people killed by police are disabled or mentally ill (and the victims are disproportionately black or other people of color) because the unusual behavior of visibly disabled and visibly mentally ill people is read as inherently threathening and dangerous.

Please consider the real life consequences of reinforcing the association between mental illness and violence – people are dying because y’all want to blame all evil in the world on severe mental illness so that you can clearly separate yourself from it. You’re harming an already extremely vulnerable and marginalized group of people and it’s time to stop!

I encourage people who aren’t schizophrenic to reblog this. These stereotypes are literally getting people killed and I’ve seen no awareness around this on this website.

5 people were just shot and killed in a Maryland newsroom

https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/maryland-newspaper-shooting/index.html

I’m gonna fucking cry

they just recovered a possible explosive device.

if that is an actual bomb, this was a fucking targeted attack on journalists

HE MUTILATED HIS FINGERS TO AVOID ID

I am convinced this was a targeted attack on journalists oh my fucking god

police just confirmed it was a targeted attack. the suspect is a white male who used smoke grenades when entering and shot through the glass and then killed newsroom employees with his shotgun.

they received social media threats prior

the guy who did it had tried to sue them for defamation after they ran a column about him harassing a woman and causing her to lose her job.

once again, a mass shooter is linked to abuse of women
