Sounds like someone was OFF their meds!

I’m here to tell you, there’s not enough “funding” for mental health, although I’m not sure what more funding would do. We need medical folks who are trained and WILLING to do psychiatry. Not that many are. The ones who do are burnt to a crisp trying to deal with too many patients and not enough support. Myself being one of them. Too many Adderall and Xanax seekers to have time to really screen and take care of the truly mentally ill.

Completely correct. Also, a total lack of staffed, secure facilities for long-term care.

The way that Steve Lookner (Agenda Free TV) keeps screaming about the guy being a “trained firearms instructor” makes me wonder if he isn’t off his meds.

Mental healthcare has been an abject failure.

Seems like you have 100 of those guys like that for one truly crazy person who needs to be medicated and monitored for life. Our mental health system is crap, we should be providing more funding for it. But not sure how it'll work because it's easy to throw dollars at a problem and nothing will get done.
