"I honestly hope they do get whatever help they need regardless of where they sent them. However, I'm not sure he will, because I often hear how people in prison don't get that type of help."
"You've made a good point, Aldrich could have come out until he was in custody because he felt more comfortable. He knows his father would not agree with his identity, and seeing him speak in such a hateful way about queer people I just couldn't…"
"Exactly, most cases of mass shooters have some correlation with mental health issues. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the way we still stigmatize it until this day and how getting help or treatment is very hard. I've also realized how…"
"I agree with your last comment, there is no way they targeted that club just because, this was a hate crime. Since some people still think of sexuality as taboo or as a sensitive topic, it might make them uncomfortable to talk about this case…"
"You've made a great point, mental health is such a big problem that keeps being ignored by everyone, and even when it is available it isn't easily to access, it is expensive or unhelpful. This is a systemic issue that we should address more."
"I agree with you, in my opinion, this crime was biased. There is no way it wasn't considering their background. They most likely grew up surrounded by hatred, so much so that they felt like he had to kill queer people."
"I agree with you, mental health plays a bigger role in shootings or crimes in general. This person had already shown signs of instability, and because of our society's prejudice towards mental health, they were unable to get the help they needed."
"I agree, they had already shown that they were not a stable person but they never got any help even though the authorities were called and they knew about their situation. And about your last comment, I kinda agree, I don't believe in spreading…"
"I would love to donate my hair to help clean up oil spills, it sounds like a pretty cool idea and I think it should be better advertised so more salons can help donate hair. But wouldn't the spill have to be relatively small for it to work? all the…"
"I didn't use to celebrate thanksgiving, because it really isn't a thing in we celebrate in Mexico, but my family has joined my uncles these past 2 years and I've really enjoyed it. Our families got together and we each assigned ourselves a dish, my…"
"I think the increase in population is bad in the conditions we live in right now, there aren't a lot of companies that are helping fight back against climate change, and corporations aren't trying to employ more people. I think this population…"
"I don't think the semester test schedule should have gotten changed. The old one was just so much better, we had more time to do things like study and eat. The 30 minutes between classes were perfect, if you needed to use the restroom after not…"
On the 19 of November, a horrifying attack on countless queer lives was perpetuated by the 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich at a local gay club (Club Q) in Colorado Springs. The suspect carried an "AR-style platform" long gun along with multiple…
"No one as vulnerable as to start doing drugs should ever be put in jail, that is just inhumane. A lot of addicts are stuck in hard situations and doing drugs is their only escape from them, this is not an issue that requires punishment, they need…"
"I think having cameras around the school is an excellent idea to keep students and staff safe. I think cameras can help better the school environment, if there in a problem of any sort they can just check the cameras and identify the perpetrators…"
"I personally don't think explicit music makes teenagers do bad things, because you are responsible for your actions and I don't think someone could be so dumb as to do something a song told them to(or at least I hope so), but I do think explicit…"
"I would love it if we could change Halloween to Saturday. I love going trick-or-treating but this year I'm very stressed because it falls on a Monday, however, I don't feel like Halloween is such an important holiday for the date to get changed. "
"I don't know any self-defense other than putting my keys between my knuckles and even that isn't really keeping me safe, so I agree with you, we should be getting self-defense classes in school. Schools should start teaching us more things we can…"
"I really don't agree with you, citizens shouldn't have to be worried about the police- who are supposed to be taking care of them- killing them. These riots are the direct cause of years and years of black people having to experience racism and…"
"I have mixed feelings about this, on one hand, these types of techniques can help find out important information that could be very helpful, but on the other side, I don't really like the idea of torturing someone for the sake of the safety of a…"
" I think the gender quota is a great idea, however, I don't like the idea of women being put in higher positions just because it is mandatory, why can't they just hire them normally? I think this quota clearly shows how we still have a long way to…"
"I agree with you, this type of content could be used as a sort of memorial for the victims where they show them as what they were, human, they all had lives, hobbies, and dreams, and they were all torn down because someone felt entitled enough to…"
"I think every policeman all around the united states should be required to wear a body camera, they can just keep everyone safe and be used as proof if something bad happens, like on racially motivated arrests, people can use the film in court and…"
"I don't think open campus should be taken away since it's a great way to get students to practice being more responsible, which will be a useful skill in the future. If a student is taking advantage of the open campus or is not responsible enough to…"
"Ever since I started consuming true crime content I've started to be more a little more aware of my surroundings and who I talk to, so I agree with you. I also agree with you about the actors influencing the way the film is viewed, even more…"
"I agree with you, having famous actors play controversial figures like a criminal will almost always affect our view of the person in a good or bad way. With actors playing a lot of characters it might be difficult to see them as the killer they are…"
"If a victim's family doesn't feel comfortable sharing this tragic event in such a public way then they shouldn't do it, no company has the right to violate someone's privacy or take advantage of a desperate family. Thanks for commenting ^w^!!"
"I totally agree with you, the family's view of the events is the most important when talking about something as traumatic as the murder or disappearance of a loved one. There are a lot of cases that don't have very good media coverage, where the…"
"You are right, some times when these types of shows or movies are produced they are not completely faithful to the story, which considering these were real-life events is completely disrespectful. The people who went through these events shouldn't…"
"You've made a great point, companies won't stop producing true crime content because there is a great demand for it, they're gonna keep on making money from peoples trauma regardless of what they say. I totally forgot to add something like this to…"
"I totally forgot about method acting; I've read a bit about method actors who make working conditions terrible when they are playing a difficult role like a serial killer, I can't even imagine how getting into a character like that could damage…"
" Gender identity is what you identify as, it's not your chromosomes or how much testosterone you have in your body, It's a social construct NOT biology. Having XX or XY chromosomes doesn't determine your gender identity and It most surely is not a…"
In these past years, there's been a sudden peak in interest for true crime content, and it only got bigger with everyone being stuck in their houses, the sudden trill of a crime would give us all the rush to keep going. But, there have been…
"I think Halle Bailey is an excellent fit for the little mermaid since a very important aspect of the character is her voice, Halle is an amazing singer with an amazing vocal range so I'm sure she is a great fit for the role regardless of her skin…"
"I never really got why hats are banned in school, they are not distracting and some people really like wearing them, it might be like a thing of respect or safety? like, you don't wear hats in an office a government building, or in a bank so that if…"
"I don't think any teacher should be able to not let you go to the restroom, but there are some classes where I've seen some students abuse this and leave to mess around and not actually use the restroom, I think in these cases it is reasonable for…"
"I've had a lot of experience with using textbooks since I had to use them my whole life back in Mexico and don't really like it. I went to a government school where the government provided the textbooks, a book for every subject, which I had to…"
"It would amazing if the voting age could be lowered. I think 16 would be a great age to do it, and as you said there are a lot of teenagers that are capable and would love to vote, and it would be amazing to see what the younger generation is more…"
"I think that being able to freely celebrate and learn about our culture, enjoy our traditions, and be proud of who we are is extremely important when we are so far away from our countries. Also, I think black history month is extremely important…"
"Speaking from experience, it would be amazing if school could start later. I would love it if we could start school later it wouldn't just give me more time to sleep but get ready and eat a nice breakfast which I feel would make me have a better…"
"I think this could be an effective law. There are many people in vulnerable groups who turn to drugs to shelter themselves from their life and would most likely seek help if they know that they wont be criminalized. It would be great if Iowa…"
"I think rating teachers is a great idea. You could let other students know if you've had a bad experience with a teacher so they can be careful or just know how the teacher would react, or maybe you just don't like the way they teach and think they…"
"I don't really believe life on mars could be considered life on earth. When it comes to life on other planets we don't decide if it is life by earth's standards, so I don't think this would be a very good excuse to use if you want to talk about…"
"I don't think teachers should be allowed to carry weapons of any kind with them. I feel like there could be so many things that could go wrong and put the kids in even more danger, I also feel like there are easier solutions to this problem, for…"
"I would personally love to learn ASL in school rather than cursive. I think I learned cursive too when I was little but can't remember a single time I've actually had to use it; on the other hand, I would use ASL in my day-to-day life if I could,…"
" Yes, I totally think the patriarchy is harmful to women and society. For thousands of years, women have been looked down upon, objectified, compared to each other, or haven't been recognized enough for their achievements all thanks to our…"
"
The only reason I can think of for some places to require the vaccine would be so other people who might have a higher risk of getting sick don't, and I think I'm ok with that; I would want my grandma or other people I love to get sick because…"
"I don't really know much about gun control in the us but i’ve never liked the idea of people having guns in their house or just with them all the time; it doesn't make me feel more safe or more comfortable knowing that they do; but thinking about…"
"I don't really know much about Andrew, but what I do know has made me hate him. I know that he is a very bad influence to his mostly teenage audience, spreading extremely misogynistic messages and just being a horrible example for them, so yes I do…"
