Seems like this happens more in an election year. Maybe the press amplifies the news more?

Common sense psychiatric clinic control laws could have prevented this...

Guess the shooter didn’t check the box on the form that asked if the buyer of the gun had ever had any mental problems.

Isn’t there a law against such things?

They will say it’s the NRAs fault and the easy availability of guns.

More BS from the anti-gunners.

Let’s just give all the nutbars guns and lock them down in a concrete room. It’ll make a for a shooting good time!

Obviously, the NRA’s fault. They held their national convention in Pittsburgh not so long ago. < / sarcasm >

Unfortunately, the press has strong input to public perception of reality. See "Year of the shark" for an example. The press advocates for itself by asserting the meme that it is a "watchdog" and "pillar of democracy."

I don’t peg the practice of psychiatry as being phoney (at least not necessarily phoney) but it seems to be in the thrall of looie leftists who could never see the need for such an office to be able to defend itself from... armed looneys! They had to call a cop and wait for the cop?

More like an elaborately constructed selective mask than a “watch dog.” And in a sense the public has itself to blame because otherwise they would not tolerate such slant and cry out for better integrity — it seemed Fox had made steps in that direction, but then Fox blew it all by going in the tank for Mitt.

Witness who was in the lobby at the time reports man walked into lobby with a handgun and began shooting towards receptionist. Two armed guards/cops on duty returned fire. Witness says everyone hit the deck.

I’d like to see the statistics of people who have benefited from psychiatry in a constructive way, not just medicated with prescription drugs.

My mother works in the building next door to this. She called me and said they’re keeping everyone inside on lockdown until further notice.
