Yes but our chances of survival are much higher when that mentally disturbed person can only get their hands on a kitchen knife instead of a damn machine gun!

Absolutely. Mental health is ultra important and as global warming, for one, driving increased refugee movement mental health of people facing more insecurity and societal pressures can only worsen. Antagonistic, divisive leaders without a scintilla of empathy for people with disabilities and/or mental health problems make the problem only worse. Yeah, Trump prompted that thought.

Still too often too many, on seeing a person with such a problem, simply look. And laugh. It's a problem in Australia too.

As with so many things, over the long run, education around the situation and surrounding issues is important.
