I don't need mental health issues to want to assassinate certain people, but it helps.

The poverty gives the motivation, the mental health issues get you over the pesky morality roadblock.
Morality roadblock? I thought it was a fear of consiquences roadblock. (For these people)
I was gonna hit the comments section that if a person is well adjusted to a sick society aren't they actually mentally ill
Like, for example, if a person perfectly fit into nazi Germany.. well..?
Is there some good news I'm missing out on?
Nope OP is just fantasizing.
I consider that hope. We all need hope.
It's cope, not hope. We don't need cope.
What's bad about coping? There is a reason it's not the same word as ignoring or overlooking. You can cope with something without looking the other way
This bunch of clowns doesn’t know if they should deport Sirhan Sirhan or make him head of the Secret Service.
There's another Kennedy, Sirhan!
Man there's nothing mentally unhealthy about killing fascists. It's not killing fascist that seems mentally ill to me.
Bullshit. Mentally ill people rarely commit assassinations or mass shootings. That sort of thing requires planning and foresight; a degree of functioning in society that mentally ill people are rarely able to perform by definition.
The perpetrators might be "crazy" in a colloquial sense, but so is the typical right-wing celebrity.
Let's drop all the bipolar people off their meds at the same time. Things are going to be either clean as hell or dangerous af. You agitate someone who took YEARS to figure out the right combo of meds by taking it away, I promise you will be afraid for your life.
Yeah a friend of mine accidentally walked into the crossfire of what turned out to be a nearly 10-year-long beef between two badly medicated bipolar people that had reached some pretty fantastic and frankly scary proportions. Stalking and harrassing the shit out of each other, or the other's employers, friends, acquaintances, random people who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, etc. etc. Justice system's been involved multiple times.
They want to fill up private prisons. People will either get violent, become homeless, or start self medicating with illegal drugs.
John Hinckley Jr.
I was thinking of that guy when I added the "rarely".
Still, how crazy was he? He fell in "love" with an actress after seeing her in a movie. Then he took a cue from that movie and tried to assassinate the US president Ronald Reagan to impress her. Crazy. Delusional. But how crazy is that really in comparison to, say, what the current US president believes and does?
Yyyeeeaah id love to think this but they tend to just shoot up an elementary school or shoot a pregnant woman at a stop light.
Encouraging mentally ill people to assassinate politicians is encouraging suicide.
ShinzoAbe.exe.
Apparently his party/rule did have some sticking points.
Wikipedia: [...] the assassination was motivated by Abe's ties with the Unification Church. This was the first assassination of a former Japanese prime minister since 1936. A polarizing figure in Japanese politics, Abe was praised by his supporters for strengthening Japan's security and international stature, while opponents criticized him for his nationalistic policies and historical revisionism, which they view as threatening Japanese pacifism and damaging relations with China and South Korea.
oh yea, theres nothing similar like what? a band of TB diagnosed people assasinated a monarch and started a world war? tss...like hell thats ever gonna happen.
A lot of people with PTSD need ongoing treatment to keep our anger in check
