"If only 3 to 5 percent are carrying out violent acts, that means a person with mental illness is one-third less likely to be a perpetrator of violence!"
If this guy is saying that 3 to 5 percent of the 18.5 percent of mentally ill in america are committing violent crimes, and that this adds up to a mentally ill person being 1/3 less likely to commit a violent crime. Then if one were to look at the numbers, they'd see this is simply a false statement.
