So, we need “free” health care. QED.

Either that or free booze and mixers.

He drank heavily, and in a fog of frustration and delusion, said he could no longer afford his medication for bipolar disorder, his stepson, Benjamin Warren, said by phone last night. Substitute things like LG TV, XBox and new car for alcohol, and you've got your typical Democrat supporter. No sense of personal responsibility.

Did anyone get his screen-name at DU or Kos?

Either that or free booze and mixers. Well, some folks like to "self medicate" and that should be free too!

Bipolar meds are countra indicated by alcohol and they are basically free from every public mental health facility in the country.
Not taking your meds and consuming alcohol is a common characteristic of anti social behaviour and bi polar mental illness in general terms.

He did not need a hospital. . .he only needed to take his 'meds'. . .
. . .knowing that he is 'disturbed' when not on them; making a conscious decision to not take them; says to me, one should be considered fully responsible for one's own, outcome based decision.
Applies to 'meds'. . .drugs; alcohol and any other impairment, people CHOOSE to operate under.

Bipolars don’t act with logic, even on their meds.
Many bipolars don’t respond to all medications. It’s like mixing cocktails. Some work, some don’t. Then after they’ve worked for a while, they stop and you have to start all over again. Besides, they often won’t take them, because they are fine- it’s everyone else who is crazy.
My husband was on lithium, which was cheap. But he also needed one that was more than $500 a month. I used to get down on my knees and thank God every day we had good insurance. The thing is, if he had no income, most of the drug companies had programs to give drugs for little or no cost. But bipolars often can’t muster up the logic to even fill out a paper. If I tried to give my husband a paper, he would usually end up throwing something through the window. I did it all.
The sad thing is, society really has no answer for the brittle manic depressive. Family is the only one, and they usually alienate them all.
To this guy, holding Hillary’s headquarters hostage I’m sure made perfect sense. It’s classic. My husband had to be babysitted to make sure he didn’t do stuff like that, even taking expensive meds. And he had numerous expensive hospital stays.

At least the guy was smart enough not to be brandishing a weapon. It would have made him an easy Foster shot.

It’s obvious. Hillary and her staff should drop all charges, and use some of her campaign contributions for booze and meds for the guy, since Bush obviously isn’t paying for them.

Funny how all these AH that are victims of some modern umba gumba mythical spirit creatures....funny how they never step in front of a bus. Or spit in the face of a guy who is 6’6”, 280?
Funny how they manipulate, scam, have all the socialist ‘science’ jargon down pat.
Funny how these people can drive, buy, drink, mix, screw, eat, travel, tell jokes...and yet have some disease that doesn’t show up on any CAT scan, or blood test.
Bull.

No one has yet said that this dude is receiving public assistance. We have a whole trailor park full not too far from me.
So where does his beer money come from? Is he receiving some kind of disability benefits? What was his settlement from the church?
Where's the other side of the coin on this guy?

He's a democrat, I grew up in that area and escaped, and no doubt about it he's a democrat. If he was a republican the media wouldn't be working so hard to make this a non story.

Every bi-polar “person” I’ve come in contact with has been nothing but abusive and destructive to themselves and everyone around them. They actually point to their condition for sympathy and try to excuse their behavior instead of utilizing treatment. Steer clear!

Imagine the surprised look on Vince’s face when Hitlery shot him. Actually I think she may have left that drop piece on his desk, he picks it up, while Hitlery is telling a SS agent that he threatened to shoot her. Guy opens the door, Vince has the gun in his hand, turns toward the door and the guy wipes him. LOL!
