Incels kill fewer people each year than lightning strikes, bees, or trampolines. I'm sure law enforcement agencies are bored and concerned about having their funding cut given the collapse of ISIL, but putting funding into better mental health care instead would probably be the best way to deal with this societal issue. That would at least have the positive side effect of reducing suicide rates, which are 3-4 orders of magnitude higher than incel killings.
- DanBC 5y ago> Incels kill fewer people each year You don't have any evidence at all for that, do you? You have no idea what the real number is. > lightning strikes, About 20 people each year in the US die by lightening strike. That's not many.
- pseudo0 5y agoPer the documented incidents in the parent comment's linked Wikipedia article, incels kill well under 20 people per year on average. If you have a more comprehensive source, I'd be happy to reevaluate my position if needed.
- klyrs 5y agoIf free mental health care was provisioned, would incels avail themselves of it? Because, last I heard, it's unmanly to talk about feelings. I agree that better (and available) mental health care is of critical importance... but how do you make a horse drink?
