Just my two cents:
All those calling for us to start “dealing” with our mentally ill...be careful what you wish for. While I agree that the state of psychiatric care in this country is woefully inept, let’s not rush to lock up all the suppposed psychos. Be careful who you label as crazy lest you empower people to turn the tables on you. Remember all the media spin “crazy tea-partiers” “right wing wackos” “conservative radicals” and on & on. I shudder to think of the day when we can all be legitimately incarcerated once the gov deems we all have a mental illness.
Furthermore, this crime does not appear randon to me. I smell something more along the lines of a gang initiation. Our problems in this country are due to a secular-humanist, morally relativistic way of thinking. We have a severe spiritual illness, not necessarily just a “mental illness”
Flame away....I’m sure people won’t like my opinion but so be it.
No, I understand, I posted something similar on a local forum this morning. While it’s too bad that the libs closed the insane asylums, it’s a little too scary in this day and age to “assume” it could be righted. Instead, some lib who was mad could turn us into the CPS-equivalent. Or, have the jackboot Ninjas come kick in our doors and kill everything moving. In my ideal world, the truly mentally ill would be institutionalized, but I guess we’re never going back to those days now...
