#blocking all gun nuts

I just listened to a video about Charles Whitman (mass murderer in Austin, Texas in 1966) and it ended with a “doctor” pointing something out that showed up in his brain during an autopsy and concluded that it was a tumor (even though it was never actually confirmed to be a tumor) and said that that’s what caused the mass shooting.

Actual doctors pointed out that just because there’s something there, that doesn’t mean that it’s a tumor, and that if there was something wrong in that area he would have done the attack impulsively. But he didn’t- he wrote notes explaining why he did what he did before he did them. He knew exactly what he was doing every second he was doing it.

So the stupid “mental illness” bullshit that people spouted was probably originated from some quack in 1966.

And for some reason, knowing the possible origins of the “mental illness” “““argument”““ makes me feel a little bit better. Maybe it’s because I now have more than just “everywhere else in the world has mental illness…” to say whenever some gun nut dumbass tries using it.

I’d say what the video is but I’m afraid that “people with brain tumors” would go after the person.

Edit: I forgot to explain that the quack saw something in the picturesof the autopsies. He wasn’t part of the autopsy himself.

There was another mass shooting where at least five people (including the shooter) died. (Not to mention the one in Tennessee, though as far as I know so far nobody died from that one.) It was in Tulsa, on the 101th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre.

At this point every time there’s a mass shooting I just wonder “how did I not get caught in one yet?”

To be fair, there hasn’t been a record of a mass killings in my county. There were some around us (which includes two of the most infamous serial killers) but in this county alone all of the murders have either been personal or a robbery gone wrong. That doesn’t mean that it won’t happen at some point.

And of course because we’re so fucking used to mass shootings in the news, it’s going to be covered up by the Heard/Depp trial or some shit.

5 people were shot at the funeral for Da’Shontay King- a black man who was killed by the police who I missed in between all of the mass shootings, in Racine. I don’t know what the victim’s statuses are yet.

I didn’t know that yet ANOTHER cop killed a black person until this mass shooting happened even though it happened two hours away from me and now I’m starting to wonder how many more POC did the cops kill while we were focusing on mass shootings?

Two people were shot and killed in a church in Iowa. Hours after five people were shot in Racine. The day after 4 people were shot to death at a hospital in Tulsa. A few days after 21 people- including 19 children were shot to death in Uvalde…
