Your immediate answer was no, why?
I'll tell you why, because nothing has changed
in this country.
There are still all of these
(audience groaning)
massacres that are occurring at the
mentally ill, untreated people that...
Well he asked me why.
But other than that
We are here about Bodhi
He asked me a question.
We're here about Bodhi.
You asked me a question, I gave you an answer.
You're answering the question.
You've said that you'll take it down.
Yes, yes
so I'm not,
I wanted to know what you're thinking
but let me explain to you when I say
you don't know what you don't know.
Okay.
The fact of the matter is one,
the mentally ill population,
particularly the psychotic population,
specifically the schizophrenic population,
is less violent than the general population overall.
So if you identify all of the schizophrenics in the world
and put them on a screen where they can't buy guns,
you will not reduce the amount of people that go out
and shoot people because they are less violent
than the general population to begin with.
Okay, so that's not helpful.
Number two, we do not have, in the mental health profession,
the ability to screen who will and who will not
shoot people in a mass shooting, serial fashion in any way.
We don't have the ability.
The truth of the matter is that 66% of the people
that go out and shoot a mass group of people
tell somebody what they're gonna do before they do it.
They tell two or more people what they're gonna do,
when they're gonna do it, and where they're gonna do it.
80% of them tell at least one person what they're
gonna do before they do it.
You should be focused on telling people when they
hear something they need to do something.
That's what needs to happen.
(audience applause)
So when I say you don't know what you don't know,
you don't know what you don't know.
I work with the profilers, I work with the FBI,
I know about leakage and those sort of things.
So you're not, this crusade you're on,
you need to do your homework before you get
on a crusade.
And putting your children
(audience applause)
putting your children on the internet
and then saying you're linking that to school shootings
is ridiculous.
(audience applause)
What about the homeless that are on the street
that are mentally ill?
Or the prison systems that are privatized
and of course make 85% are mentally ill people.
I mean you acknowledge that, correct?
If you wanna deal with the fact that 80% of
homeless people are mentally ill, knock yourself out.
You wanna become
a prison advocate
I have been doing that too.
Knock yourself out, leave the children out of it.
Okay.
(audience applause)
That's fine, I can do that.
I can do that.
Seriously, those are populations that need a voice.
Absolutely,
and they are mentally ill.
They really do.
And where is the help for them?
And I fear that for my son.
Do you understand where I'm coming from?
I fear all of this for my son.
Because it's real, it's very real.
Well, your child needs to be focused on
as an individual, not as a pawn in a crusade
for the homeless.
(audience applause)
Okay, fair enough.
So we are all in agreement that we will
follow Dr. Sophie's orders.
So all I'm saying is, you have a pattern that
for caregivers is beyond toxic because whenever
someone disagrees with you, they go on
the incompetent list.
They go on the bad list.
And I don't know what the findings are gonna be.
But I know that we are going to put together a team.
It is going to require some travel.
Because you're gonna have to go take him to see
some experts around the country.
That's fine.
We'll pay for that.
I like that, thank you, I do, that's good, okay.
We're happy to pay for that.
We'll pay for all the brain scans,
we'll pay for all of the work ups.
I'll take it.
One of the things I'm interested in is
whether or not there might be heavy metal contaminations
in his brain, it's very possible.
I wanna look at everything, everything.
And we will pay for the travel, we'll pay for the,
we'll do everything and you just need to let it happen
and say thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you very much, I will take it, I will take it.
(audience applause)
Thank you, God bless you.
Okay, I'll take it.
And all I ask is you not sabotage the process.
I get that, and I will not do that.
Neither will he.
It'll be down this afternoon.
