Ronald Reagan defeated the Soviet Union without firing a shot — we are forever grateful — but when was governor of California, he closed the state mental hospitals.
There’s help for alcoholics and drug addicts if they ask. But schizophrenics wandering the streets, homeless and injured, can’t ask for help. And even if they could, there’s no help for them.
It’s not a conservative vs. liberal issue — it’s the shame of downtown. It’s the shame of California.
Incidently, you fell for one of the biggest lies promulgated by the left that Reagan closed the California mental hospitals, when in fact it was signed into law by Governor Pat Brown (D) in Assembly Bill 691.
