REFLECTING ON MONDAY’S SHOOTING MASSACRE AT THE WASHINGTON, D.C. NAVY YARD AND THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE GUNMAN, MIKE SAYS: “WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A CASE LIKE THIS? HE GOES TO THE VA SHRINK TWO OR THREE TIMES. GIVEN PRIVACY CODES IN THIS COUNTRY, DO YOU PUT SECRET RED FLAGS ON HIS JACKET? WHAT DO WE DO?… [MENTAL HEALTH] IS A HUGE ISSUE TODAY, AND IT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST 10 OR 15 YEARS GIVEN SO MANY VETERANS COMING OUT OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WITH PTSD SEEKING ASSISTANCE, SEEKING HELP, WHICH YOU ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO, WHICH THEY OUGHT TO DO. WE DON’T WANT THAT TO BE HELD AGAINST THEM.” ON MORNING JOE ON MSNBC.
