I wonder how many people will only read the title and assume we’re all dangerous :thinking:

I hate when the media says that crap. They are just trying to blame people with mental illness for crime. Most mentally ill people are not criminals.

Thanks @everhopeful. What’s your opinion?

The study seems legitimate. But they don’t define “mental illness” though.

Crime is caused more by drugs. If you have a mental Illness and don’t use drugs you don’t commit crimes. The media are the real criminals :grin:

The key factors for either the victim or killers were mental ill health, a factor in 29 cases; drugs, which were a factor in 26 killings; alcohol, a factor in 16 cases; gangs, a factor in 14 cases; and social media, a factor in 14.

Drugs come in 2nd…

Sorry don’t buy into that brainwashed none sense. I’ve never been convicted of a crime , haven’t used drugs in 17 years , and every person I’ve known with a criminal record uses drugs . The media and the government are just trying to find a group to blame.
