Now look at somebody like Jared Loughner. Even AFTER he was arrested and was determined to have mental issues, there were all sorts of legal wranglings over whether the state could forcibly make him take medications.

The whole situation is f’d up.

Liberal decoder ring.

They also use it to figure out all the words that are racist.

I guess the solution, as always is, more guns.

Sometimes I wonder if you are mentally unstable; where did you get that out of the article?

Educate yourself.

When the gun instructor got through describing the restrictive gun laws in Boston and in Massachusetts — which are just about the toughest in the nation — one student asked: “If the gun laws are so tough, how come there are shootings every night in Boston?” “That’s a good question,” the instructor replied. “The answer is that the gun laws are aimed at the good guys, the law-abiding people, like you and me. The bad guys ignore the law and get all the guns they want.”

FYI, until the Leftists at the ACLU successfully shut it down, there was a large mental hospital right in the middle of…Newtown.

F-

Thought crimes. Way to go America!

Yes, I agree. it is despicable the way the Left spends all of its time in thinking up new ways to rob us of everything in life.

I suggest housing them with a liberal. All the mentally ill and deranged who can be a danger to others can be paired with a liberal. The touchy feely liberals will then have an outlet for all their compassion and good will and leave the rest of us alone.

Their “good intentions” are making us all poorer and will eventually kill us.

LMAO! THIS is the solution! Well done!

Efforts undertaken to remove the lost-mother-trucker from the saddle of his oh-so-very-comfortable hobby horse are doomed to failure.

You are, of course, correct about the seminal question dealing with how the law deals with the mentally ill.

A byproduct of the Obama economy is an alarming rise in the cases of mental illness being seen in the nation’s emergency rooms. Here at home, the emergency room becomes the default warehouse of those who cannot care for themselves, are a danger to themselves and others or have been thrown out of other resources for behavior related issues.

As much as the left rails about the plight of the mentally ill, it is they who are chiefly responsible for their current state of affairs.

They could (and are trying to) remove every single firearm from private hands in the United States and it would do nothing to improve the epidemic of mental illness.
