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, @[email protected] 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)
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
That's not the solution. We need more guns. Since there are more guns than people in the US, I would guess the shootings would end when we have 2/person. Or maybe more powerful guns or twice as many cops. I'm really not an expert on this.
I think I hear about a school shooting about once every two or three months. And, I believe underreporting at a national level paired with myself not having time to keep up means that I hear about roughly one in every hundred shootings.
Typically there's about 180 days of school per year.
Crunching some vague math, my guess seems preposterous: ~340 school shootings in 2024. That's almost two per day. But, the more I thought about it the less preposterous it seemed.
TL;DR - My guess is a seemingly preposterous 340 school shootings in 2024, or almost 2 per school day.
