I think mental problems should not be pejorative. The being is made up of the body and mind. Just as there are problems in the body there are those also in the mind. Okay I am a bit of a nut. So what.
ETA: Of course I am not commenting on the shoot outs here.

I don't call that pathetic; I call it horrifying. Ironically, I was just reading a little while ago an article by Richard Lederer on JFK's inaugural speech calling for civility.

Last week here in my city we had a 17 year old go into
his school with his policeman father's gun and shoot
and kill the vice-principal, wound the principal, and
then drive a few blocks away and kill himself. Now
Arizona.
