More evidence for the near ubiquitous wussification of our children. Perhaps that's a good thing once they figure out how their parents and grandparents stuck them with enormous public debt obligations.
As someone whom has a couple of family members with mental health issues and someone has worked with those with severe mental health issues I don't understand why the rights of the individual are greater than society? This is the only country in the world that put the right of the person above society and the safety of society. When we let people out of mental institutions we unleashed them on society. I am not talking bi polar people generally, but psychotics. There is a reason some of them were locked up. They are a f*cking dander to society. And yes I do know that neither shooters were old enough for the previous mental hospital system in this country. I worked with developmentally disabled adults after college, one of them was a violent arsonist that was allowed out into the community! I could give you many more examples of people that I worked with that should never have been out in public. I read their case files as was appalled they were allowed to live in residential treatment center. As someone that supports gun rights, in general, why in the hell don't we have a more thorough screen process for crazy people! I will pay more to have a better background check to keep others like Jared and the Virgina Tech shooter from getting their hands on a gun. Praise Wallmart store 1 for denying him ammo! They should have been forced to anonymously report Jared, investigated, and banned from every buying ammo and taking away his gun. People both of these killers bought their guns legally! WTF kind of system do we have? A joke People like Jared and Virgina Tech shooter shouldn't have had the right to freedom. If they don't want to take their meds than we will place them in a safe environment and administer their meds. Enough of my rambling. I hope I made someone think.
It's a fine line. Close to yelling fire in a crowded theater. And Palin, or anyone else that uses that rhetoric, should feel guilty.
You know, we haven't been enlightened about the political leanings of Jared's parents. Did they raise him in a Christian conservative manner or did they use liberal hands off methods?
Good God are you guys still trying to pin this on Sarah Palin? You folks are exhibiting a bit of mental illness yourselves, you know, the fixation on Sarah Palin even though she does not hold political office and is not a candidate for any political office. The rest of us are just shaking our heads in disbelief. Many of us thought that after you guys suffered Bush Derangement Syndrom for 8+ years you might have gotten tired of mindless hating but evidently you are just filled with it. Maybe you didn't get the memo? A democrat (Bob Beckel) invented the target metaphor as an advisor to Bill Clinton years and years ago. For crying out loud a political effort is called a "campaign", where do you think *that* word comes from. Maybe we should get Sarah Palin nominated for republican candidate because many of you would suffer myocardial infarction on the spot.
