He may turn out to be a garden-variety nutcase.
After Herriman’s arrest, his 73-year-old father told Reuters his son had been undergoing treatment for years for mental health problems, which had worsened recently.The last time the state-run media pinned their hopes on a whack-job and tried to make him into a member of the Palin-for-President team, they got egg all over themselves. They may not want to go there this time.“He said he’s been hearing voices for the last couple weeks,” Dan Herriman said. “He was trying to get back to the V.A. (Veteran’s Administration hospital).”
The suspect has been taking medication to treat his mental illness, Herriman said of his son.
“He goes up and down.”
If he was being treated in a VA hospital, it’s kind of surprising that Obama and Incompetano didn’t try to use it to re-introduce the “dangerous right-wing veterans” mantra.
I guess they were too busy vacationing.
