Yeah, this guy's a real laugh riot. thanks for that. Real insightful social commentary. So long as it's an anti-gun piece, let's shit all over women, it'll be a real big laugh.
Edit: Oh yes, and he goes on to ridicule "crazy fucks" like "Asperger's as fuck". Real nice. Never mind that people with mental health issues are more likely to be victims of violence, than perpetrators of it. That was a really pleasant sentiment, and furtherance of a common form of bigotry. Yes, what a gas this comedian is. Thanks for this.
"Although studies suggest a link between mental illnesses and violence, the contribution of people with mental illnesses to overall rates of violence is small, and further, the magnitude of the relationship is greatly exaggerated in the minds of the general population (Institute of Medicine, 2006)."
- "…the vast majority of people who are violent do not suffer from mental illnesses (American Psychiatric Association, 1994)."
- "The absolute risk of violence among the mentally ill as a group is very small. . . only a small proportion of the violence in our society can be attributed to persons who are mentally ill (Mulvey, 1994)."
-"People with psychiatric disabilities are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators of violent crime (Appleby, et al., 2001). People with severe mental illnesses, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or psychosis, are 2 ½ times more likely to be attacked, raped or mugged than the general population (Hiday, et al.,1999)."
