“schizophrenics are the canary in the coal mine for us right now.”

That was a brilliant observation. The wisdom from some freepers shines through more and more. How can the death of that man or the young woman killed be funny for some of you. Many Americans have faced despair because of this presidents policies and politics. He IS the most divisive president in history. Lincoln has nothing on him. It’s going to get much worst my friends.

I'm sure drinking and drug use is up too. My gradeschool buddy installs breathilizers in cars for the State of West Virginia where the offenders generally have to have them put in via court order to keep their license. He just got the job and already has 100 installs to do. People who have a loose attachment to reality or have nothing to lose will snap.

It's like in the 1983 movie "Country" where during the Farm Crisis back then where Sam Shepard tried to comfort a friend losing his farm who was holding a cat and a rifle. Sam left his friend and saw the cat come around the corner after his friend committed suicide. I remember the farm crisis of the late 1970's and very early 1980's plus all the steel mills closing. IIRC, that was the time when you had various groups and people like Gordon Kahl dying in a shootout with the Feds as well.
