Yet another example.
When someone goes crazy and starts killing people, it's not a right vs left issue. It's a crazy vs sane issue if anything. passing stricter gun laws isn't going to work. It's already illegal to go and start shooting people.
what do we do to prevent this sort of thing? I have no answers to that question, mind you. Do you?
I heard early reports that this guy was known to be mental, had been in custody before.
Our crazy korean in Blacksberg who went crazy on Virginia Tech was a known psycho.
there was much huffing and puffing here about closing the cracks he fell through. "action" was aken, somehow I don't think it amounted to anything.
you have to make the sane criminally responsible for failing to manage the crazy. if some shrink knew he would be the one in prison for life when one of his locos went postal I bet that there would be one of two reactions:
a) a whole lot of crazies will be swept up off the streets
b) a whole lot of medicos would be leaving the field
maybe both.
there was a reason crazy people were institutionalized in the bad old days. they were crazy and were not going to get un-crazy.
