I want to add, it’s not shocking. It is impossible to afford any kind of real mental health care. $50 sessions for a therapist are only worth their weight in gold; only if you can afford it.
If you or your child needed therapy you are looking at ~7 hours of minimum wage once a week in order to afford it assuming you have insurance.
We don’t take mental health seriously in the United States.
Actually, @POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com is closer. There have been 323 in the US this year which makes it 0.93 school shootings per day or 1.79 school shootings per school day in the US (assuming 180 school days a year)
My numbers are coming from the K-12 School Shooting Database. They probably use different definitions. The stat I was going by was just what I saw most articles in my country going by (Australia).
Even with therapy, its often an issue with the home environment that cant be mental.health.care’d away. Often theres a raging psycho creating a shit environment and making everyone crave for them to just fuck off and let them live and thats often exactly what everyone needs
Psychos dont tend to pursue non-flattering diagnoses and admitting their imperfections or straight-up schemings
I’m guessing roughly 1 a day.

school shootings, more like 1-2 a week.
Regular mass shootings are up to 8 in a day.

https://edition.cnn.com/us/school-shootings-fast-facts-dg/index.html says it’s “only” 83 this year?
They’re running with different definitions, is all. Given every school shooting is highly preventable, either number is valid.
