I am not even posting anymore just responding to quotes about things I have said so if you don't want to discuss if further leave it at that
I encourage you to read this paper in the British Journal of Psychiatry about this subject:

Rates of mental disorder in people convicted of homicide
Shaw, J., Hunt, I., Flynn, S. et al.
The British journal of psychiatry : the journal of mental science, 2006, Vol.188, pp.143-7
http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/188/2/143.long

If you don't have access to the article PM me or post here and I could give you a summary of it's purpose and results. It just goes over the points people have been trying to make that black and white answers such as what you are painting is incorrect in this situation. I know you don't want to discuss this anymore and we don't need to on this thread, just wanted to post this article so you and others could discover more about violence and mental disorders.
