xojane: Why Are Acts of Evil Always Attributed to "Crazy people" or Muslim terrorists?

HFJkhsdflkjsdhflkdfhhjsdf, this one has been driving me up all of the walls all day, and has for awhile after every one of these debacles in the past few years. Feels like every time something like this happens the suck level of peoples' attitudes towards mental illness - or what they perceive as mental illness - drops another three or four years back into the past, and suddenly it's comfortable to talk about denying people the franchise if they show up somewhere on the DSM or something again.

(Also, wow are the reactions to that article nauseating...)
