Indeed. This all started when the mental hospitals were shut down. The start of the downward spiral of our society. There are people in every population that should not be out in society and that includes the insane. I forgot which president ushered in the closures of mental hospitals.
It started with reports by a young reporter named Geraldo Rivera about the Willow Brook State School in Staten Island NYC. I think he was on ABC-TV NYC. The stories went “viral”.
He was correct that time. The care in that New York State run facility was a nationwide scandal and started the nation wide reevaluation of the warehousing of mentally handicapped individuals
Anyone who can not be trusted to be armed should not be running around loose.
