God bless those babies. I am just sick about them.
I used to work as an attendant at a NY State mental hospital back in the 60s. Most of these places are closed now. The left said it was against those people’s constitutional rights to warehouse them.
There was a reason for such places.
You mean the left never offered to take any of the ousted institutionalized patients home with them?
You mean the left never offered to take any of the ousted institutionalized patients home with them so they could show us all how they should be treated?
Imagine that.

Self Defense + 2nd Amendment = Lunatic Control (removal)
Is there really an asylum big enough for all the socialists and islamists?
“...America Doesnt Need Gun Control, It Needs Lunatic Control
Yup. And most of them are in Washington...”
Part of the PLAN
I see Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals are now fully in play. Indentify the target. Isolate it. Whip up mass hysteria and animosity towards the target. The target of course is gun rights-—the Second Amendment.
This morning on the news I heard the following stories: Hedge funds planning on onloading shares of firearms manufacturers, big chain stores to drop various types of firearms, polls show more people favoring stricter gun control, legislation being introdruced in Congress. NOT ONE SINGLE NEWS STORY ON THE REAL CULPRIT BEHIND ALL OF THESE MASSACRES: MENTAL ILLNESS.
.......Or rather the NEED for repentence and return to God and the realization of the reality of “spiritual warfare” between Heaven and Hades.
I am more in favor of government control than gun control.
Mental illnesses = demonic control.
IMO, this is as futile an argument as the gun control one is.
Most mentally or emotionally challenged people do not show a penchant for violent actions and no one can predict when the line will be crossed into darkness and evil, if ever.
Are we going to institutionalize everyone with autism, or Asperger’s, or any other mental or emotional condition just because they have that condition?
If people do show a tendency toward violence, then the warning signs are there and action to restrain that person should be taken.
But that’s not going to prevent a Sandy Hook, just like more gun control laws won’t.
I don’t think that arming school personnel is the answer either. Their job is to teach. It’s the duty of parents and law enforcement to protect children.
The only precaution that might have prevented a scenario just like Sandy Hook was better school fortification. It will cost money, but all doors and windows should be locked and bulletproof and there should be an armed guard present at all times (this is already the case at many troubled schools).
Now that doesn’t prevent an inside job (teacher going on a rampage, e.g.) mall shooting, or a movie theater shooting, or a workplace shooting. Nor does it prevent someone with a truckload of explosives from parking near or driving into a school building.
But it would have helped in this case and it doesn’t infringe on any individual rights.
If parents do not like having their children go to a “prison” for a school, they can choose a private school (also not immune from a mass murderer) or home school. I don’t like going to a courthouse, or an airport, or any other place where they give you an anal exam, but I have a choice just as parents can choose how and where their children are schooled.
Caveat to Post 19. Re going to a courthouse - sometimes you don’t have a choice if you are a participant in a hearing/trial or have to report for jury duty.
