I just heard on the news this morning that Nancy Kerrigan’s brother, who was apparently living with his parents, murdered his father at home last night. Per the news reports, there were plenty of warning signs, and no way the parents should have let him live there.

Our society has been conditioned to be too accepting of mental instability. Even normal intelligent families often stick their heads in the sand, rather than state the obvious, that their relative is hopelessly defective and needs to be institutionalized. Of course, a big part of the conditioning process is the leftist control of government, which has resulted in the government policy of “mainstreaming” even the patently crazy and unstable members of our society. It has become nearly impossible from a legal standpoint to forcibly institutionalize someone *before* they kill or maim an innocent person, no matter how huge and numerous the warning signs.

And are there any other heinous murders in the recent past you wish to muddy the waters still further with? Go man, go! There are excuses aplenty! The world is made full of them. You wish to confuse, eh, yes that is the easiest and most worldly rewarding of labors.

Yet still ... Islam welcomes such murderous souls, and that’s a big mistake to miss that in the murder of this family.

This is OH SO TRUE! Your comment reminds me of the push in the ‘50’s, and ‘60’s by the Leftists to rid the States of the rehabilitive institutions for the mentally impaired (a little PC speakey there). They used similar scare tactics as they did in the ‘80’s with child care centers, and won the demise of such institutions. Then the “inmates” of those asylums ended up on the streets, in the forests, and underground as “homeless”. Didn’t the Left have a good time with that?
