Bingo.
For every one school massacre, there are hundreds of instances of violence caused by people with mental health issues that don't hit the global news networks because only one or two people die at a time, or if they do they are quickly forgotten. It's sad that in this day and age it takes a massacre of children to bring an issue to light.
