Some time at the cuckoo’s nest. Well, a lot of time there. I remember when the “state” hospitals were open for those that were deemed a threat. All shuttered now cause we sure don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings now do we. Better we have a bunch of dead little kids than hurt one nut cases feelings. Hope the jerks brother has made a call to ron kuby to persue action against all the news jerks that plastered his picture all over worldwide tv as the perp. (And, I can’t stand ron kuby.)
