<div>It is sad. I've lived here all my life, and can't remember so many people getting murdered.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It happens in other small communities, why not here? In my opinion the increase in violence is partly due to lack of mental health care, and the loss of hope. Take a look around at the big world picture... now imagine you have mental health issues that are unresolved.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Until our insurance companies, state and federal programs provide mental health care benefits on the level of someone with cancer, we will continue to see a rise in violent means to an end.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What do you suggest be done about this problem that is facing not only OUR community, but our state, and country?</div>
