Yes, I know a mother who went through that with a disgruntled ex who was threatening them. No one would help unless he actually hurt them physically.
What is a Tara Sof?
Had friend and customer get suspended from a job ‘cause he had some gun magazines in his office and a coworker felt “menaced” or “uncomfortable.”
Lawyers are making anything logical, common sense or preventative into "bigotry", "discrimination" or "hatred." It's an enormous cash cow for them.
On the practical level, the psychology of violent mental illness is such that when the person with the damaged ego is rejected, for whatever reason, that is the time they choose to unleash the violent retribution. This is why many women end up staying with batterers, or having to go into shelters if they manage to expel them from the home. Most domestic killings occur just when the woman manages to enforce the separation.
So in the VT case, expelling Cho might have had the same result as what did happen. This boy was now looking at graduation, leaving a familiar environment in which he was at least tolerated, and having to go into a new environment where he would be looked at as weird and rejected again, this time with higher stakes. He had a psychotic break, taking the symbols of his oppression -- well-adjusted kids -- out with him as he committed suicide.
See post 24.
The staff can issue a Tarasof through the courts and contact the soon to be victim warning them this person is going to be released a such and such a date so please watch your six. Have a nice day!
Thanks. There’s a heck of a lot more to it but the bottom line is the mental health system rarely helps anyone. Letting them loose is worse.
Today some gal called in to the
TV station and said she was pretty
sure when all the chips are pulled
away on the Cho kid they’ll find
he actually followed the format of
the suicide terrorists: kill as
many Americans as you can with
one fell blow. In light of what
his Grandfather said about the kid,
Time will tell if the gal was right.
Lieberalism is a mental disorder.
Therefore, universities have become a haven for those with mental disorders.
The logical solution is to concentrate it.
Transfer the mose lieberal professors to the most lieberal institutions. Do the same with the students and reorganize them as mental institutions.
