I wonder how many people blamed mental health when the Boston bombing suspects were found.

Hell, Mike Brown was shot and killed by a police officer after an altercation with a store clerk, and he wasn't given the kind of free pass of "mental health" that is given to a guy who, in cold blood, gunned down 9 people in a church.

Funny how people can justify police overreacting to black citizens/suspects, and how they immediately call a brown person a terrorist, and yet then they'll let off a white shooter with the "mental health" clause.
I didn't hear much about mental health here. The mental health thing comes up more often when its more of a random selection of victims rather than hate driven. This one and the Boston bombing guys were clearlyhate or ideologically motivated.
