This was written by my friend William C. Jackson. I will add no words to the discussion as the piece speaks for itself.

I said that if it is revealed that the scum that killed all those
people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown had a mental illness, I
would be EXTREMELY angry. Why? Because I have a mental illness. And
most people with mental illness are NOT violent. They want to be treated
just like everyone else, and I am no different. But with things such as
this happening, there is a stigma associated with having this illness
(Can he be trusted not to hurt anyone if something bad happens to him?
for example).
I feel for the families of the families of the victims, especially those that will be without their child for the holidays.
I believe that there is a special place in hell for people like the gunman.
Please, media, do not say that he had a mental illness. Don't make it harder for people like me.
