He's going to be locked up for the rest of his life. That's a good thing. But the REAL tragedy here is that this seriously mentally-ill man was allowed easy access to GUNS and then shot 19 people, killing 6 of them and crtically wounding others BEFORE he recieved the attention and care he so desperately needed. THAT should be unacceptable to Us as a society! As per the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)...For NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, what happened in Tucson is all too familiar. Even during the the best of economic times, youth and adults living with mental illness struggle to access essential mental health services and supports. Services are often unavailable or inaccessible for those who need them the most. One in 17 people in America lives with a serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, major depression, or bipolar disorder. About one in 10 children live with a serious mental disorder. [...] Read "State Mental Health Cuts: A National Crisis" http://www.nami.org/ContentManagement/ContentDisp... NAMI has been sounding the alarm FOR YEARS but nobody seems to be listening so it begs the questions: 1. Why are WE (as a nation and a society) willing to let mentally-ill people suffer? And... 2. How many MORE of these tragedies are WE willing to bare?
