Time to expose psychiatric profession for what it is: useless. You've got a better chance (statistically) of recovering on your own than to consult most secular psychiatrists.

This is in Nebraska, smack dab in America's Midwest. I thought California was looney.

That's really not true. A good psychiatrist is worth their weight in gold. However, there are a lot of frauds out there. Anyone needing help should be very careful who they choose to help them.

I would not be so quick to assume the medical profession is wrong about this. Sometimes the thing that turns a raging psychosis that makes life like one continuous acid trip into a clear head, is one little pill a day. Before Thorazine and similar drugs were discovered, there were a lot more straitjackets used in mental hospitals... there's a good reason for that.

Now if they are proposing to let him go unsupervised that's another story.

Well, if he's insane, it's not his fault. Why should he be punished for something that's not his fault? I guess we're just going to have to let him walk the streets, and we'll have to take our lumps if his future performance mimics his past performance. I really don't see any alternative. (/sarcasm)

This should be good news to family members of the victims. I imagine it would be very difficult to break into a mental hospital, execute a murder, and get back out.

I fired my last therapist after I did some figuring and realized that in two years, I'd given her almost $12 grand. I figured that with my upper-middle-class upbringing, there was NO WAY I was that screwed up.

Best day's work I ever did. I could tell 'cause when I called her to tell her I wasn't coming in anymore, she wanted me to "come in to discuss it."

It's only a matter of time before we see Hinckley and Manson on the streets again, too.

The charge ought to be changed to read "Guilty, but insane" rather than "Innocent by reason of...".
