THE iconic underclass song, written by the iconic Josep Hilstrom aka Joe Hill. Origin of the term "pie in the sky".

We shouldn’t let this horrific attack perpetuate the myth that all people with mental illness are violent
We should endeavour to understand why violent acts like this occur and point the fingers of blame in the right direction
