In the old day, like 40 or 50 years ago, before Jerry Rivera, people like this would have been institutionalized before they could hurt others.

How far has our society fallen?

too far. nutcases have rights that prevent society from placing them in an environment that can prevent them from hurting themselves or anyone else.

Exactly!! Having worked in a big city ER for 20 years,an ER that was located a couple of hundred yards from a large state psychiatric hospital,I could tell you stories about psych patients that would make the hair on your toes curl.

I’m still wondering why they never institutionalized Jerry...

Loonie bins are expensive as hell. We’d have to take on another $ trillion per year of debt to try to control all these animals.

Was there an event that set this kid off, or was this the result of his isolated lifestyle where the voices told him to kill?

It is hard to imagine him waking up and deciding that this was the day to kill his mother and others.

I wonder if Whoraldo has connected those dots? I guess not: he’s too self-absorbed. Love to remind him, though.

(Good catch/connection.)

If liberals had a permmissive enviornment for deeming people mentally ill and institutionalizing them, it would be another tool they could use like the Soviets or Chi-coms.

Liberals are psychopaths.
