After the Maine massacre, we are hearing the familiar response to a mass shooting by a mentally ill man, which is to deprive everyone of their civil rights. The reality is that if you have violent and dangerous people on the loose, they will get their hands on guns or other weapons, regardless of whatever laws there are. Gun control doesn’t stop killers, it stops people from protecting themselves. If you want to stop mentally unstable mass shooters, institutionalize them.
A lot of seriously mentally ill people desperately need help, some even request it, but they don’t get it.
A young Oklahoma mom has been found dead on a barge on the Mississippi River — days after she was arrested for repeatedly calling 911 pleading for help.
Hailey Silas’ body was found about 7 a.m. Saturday while the barge’s crew was performing an inspection while traveling the Mississippi River near Shelby Forest in Tennessee, WREG reported.
Less than a week earlier, the 22-year-old mom was arrested for calling 911 several times Sunday from a gas station across from Southland Casino, according to the outlet.
She reportedly asked authorities to give her a ride out of West Memphis, Arkansas, because she was scared of something and was having a “panic attack.”
After Silas was taken to a station in handcuffs, she asked to talk to her parents, saying she was scared and confused, according to WREG.
It was not immediately clear what she was scared of, but the young mom also asked to be taken to a “psych ward,” the report said.
She pleaded guilty on Wednesday last week to a misdemeanor of communicating a false alarm and was given a suspended sentence of time served, according to records cited by the outlet.
We sure solved that one.
Bizarrely, we would rather arrest people who are requesting to be taken to a psych ward, then take them to a psych ward. There’s a persistent bias against institutionalization in America, as opposed to Europe, fed by movies featuring patients being abused within the system. As a result, we have crazies wandering the streets and other crazies shooting up bowling alleys.
Do we have a ‘homeless problem’ or a ‘mass shooter’ problem or a mental illness problem? Lefties prefer the former because the myth of a homeless problem allows them to attack capitalism and the latter allows them to dismantle civil rights. None of it actually addresses the real underlying problems. And none of it makes things better.
The refusal to institutionalize the mentally ill has wrecked our cities and cost a lot of lives. It’s time to rethink it.
I am coming to the conclusion the government is ALLOWING these crazies to keep their
guns until they snap.
Then the call goes out to disarm EVERYONE eventually…which is their final goal.
You may right Since the original plan was to place the mentally ill in group homes but the states cut funding for them. Since the Maine shooter was in the psych ward for several weeks watch no one will be arrested or even fired for not disarming him.
Your complete medical history is online to the government. They use this as a shopping list to recruit their patsies for their PSYOP shootings.
Tin foil hat for you
“There’s a persistent bias against institutionalization in America,”
Blame “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
No blame Willowbrook
“The refusal to institutionalize the mentally ill has wrecked our cities and cost a lot of lives. It’s time to rethink it.”
The moral/mental illness of leftism promotes all forms of cultural nihilism, which is essentially evil. If we want to stop this spreading disaster we have to outlaw ideologies/religions that preach evil or encourage the destruction of our wholly moral constitution, our adherence to Mosaic Law, and the teachings of Jesus. If members of an ideology advocates nihilism they should be arrested and deported, or if they have committed crimes, be incarcerated, deported, or executed according to their crimes against our nation.
The litmus test for an acceptable religion is; does it permit dissension without recrimination?
If not, then get off our lawn.
90% of the homeless are drug addicts, the rest are mentally ill and who knows how many of the drug addicts are also mentally ill.
Not all homeless people are crazies, druggies or criminals but the vast majority are. You should see the loons at the big public park a block from my apartment. Then again, I doubt you’d want to see them.
But one of my girlfriends is homeless and she’s a sweet woman who’s just down on her luck. She has a tiny dog named Candy Cane that she takes everywhere with her in a baby carriage. I haven’t seen her lately, I hope she’s O.K. She stays clean and well groomed, which isn’t easy when you’re homeless. I was homeless for close to a year and it was rough. You do what you can.
I hope she raised herself out of her dilemma and that’s why I haven’t seen her. She knows I’m not a one chick kind of guy.
Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of those girls around here, taking their dogs everywhere in baby carriages.
That’s a funny coincidence.
I wonder where they get those baby carriages? I guess not all of them are homeless, eh? I feel more empathy for the homeless ones. Pushing dogs around in baby carriages is abnormal and freakish for chicks who have homes.
The dog my girlfriend has seems very old but is also very sweet. She’s a licker. If you pet her, she goes to town on your hand.
I like dogs.
I think mental illness drives many to self-medicate.
Yes, I think so too. People who are mental often suffer from depression and depression causes people to self medicate. It’s sad.
We need to start thinking outside of the box (prison) that the left has put us in. We need to destroy their definitions and “truths” with 24 hour a day carpet bombing. We need to reject their replacement explanations for everything.
This latest mass killer was hearing evil voices and had other manifestations of mental illness, or perhaps demonic possession.. Yes, demonic possession. Does anyone really believe that the atrocities committed against the Israeli women, children, and infants were anything but Satanic in origin? What else could drive people to such depravity? Beheading babies? Raping mothers in front of their husbands or children? Buring families alive? Is this not the definition of evil? Then why do we pretend evil doesn’t have a source? Islam was created to promote evil and destroy the Children of God. Let’s start having the courage to call things what they are. Marxism was designed to destroy Judeo-Christian culture, and Marx admitted that he rejected God and chose Satan in a poem he wrote while in college. Saul Alinsky dedicated his evil how/to guide to overthrowing our democratic republic to none other than Lucifer. These are not typos, accidents, or coincidences. These are evidence of mindful dedication to evil. That evil has ontological status whether we like it or not.
Evil contains nothing good. It is the distillation of malignant hatred, despotic narcissism, and an unquenchable desire to torture and destroy the good. We need to defend ourselves and our nation from the evil that assaults us daily. We should never assume that evil can be ignored or renamed because we can’t fully understand it. And never forget, we have infinitely powerful friends.
The most effective evil contains some good or at least the appearance of it. Good is without evil, or it is not entirely good. Darkness is absence of light.
Yes, they can trick us, no matter how smart or experienced we are.
I agree. The greatest power of evil is deception. Our experience and smarts just up the ante. No one is immune.
So nice to hear from you, truebearing. As usual your post is insightful and, well, truebearing!
Thanks maryanne. I hope you’re doing well despite these worrisome times. God Bless you and yours!
According to news reports in the alternative citizen media, a drug was given to Hamas terrorists that allowed them to commit the atrocities they did without hesitation or remorse. Evil yes. But apparently, certain manufactured drugs can be used to perpetrate evil by Hamas’ aggressors.
Yes, Iran learned from Hitler and the Nazis, who handed out crystal meth to everyone in the Nazi war machine. They experimented with mixing pure cocaine with crystal meth, and these stimulants worked wicked wonders for the Nazis, but it soon burned their soldiers out.
Of course we all know how drugs can inspire evil acts in this country. Disordering the mind while fueling it with manic energy is effective at fostering evil. Of course, you have to be evil to even think of using chemical induced pyschoses to begin with.
Take Dangerous People off the Streets and screw the ACLU
Starts hearing voices after getting hearing aids? The government can do remarkable things with ultra high directed frequencies. The stories told by members of the military from their experience in Desert Storm regarding manipulation of enemy forces are, “remarkable”.
Imagine that you have a goal of creating a narrative supporting your agenda. You have this capability. You need an opportunity. Somehow you become aware of a subject who fits the profile of your political enemies. (social media?) And you become aware of that subject’s use of a device, or devices that would cover the manipulation that you propose to use. That is called opportunity.
we thought it was the democrats who released the mentally ill onto the streets; my younger brother raved in schizophrenic madness for 20 years before killing himself; stealing vehicles, getting beaten at night by thugs, etc.
my .38 came from the pillow besides his sleeping head, found and taken by dad, who had it until he died.
I believe I have some expertise given my experiences: as usual, it is the democrats to blame.
I worked in the mental health field, and frankly – yes, we need to have a mental health system that can provide the help needed by the mentally ill population. But the problem is – outside of a few hospitals that can house in a secured manner that population there is now not enough beds for the needs of our society. From the 1960’s to the early 1990’s, that hospital system has largely been closed down, and instead we have a system of offices and some group homes that all will seek to hand out pills. And the patient largely has the right to refuse them.
I count as a blessing that I had just left when a former co-worker told me the higher-ups were now telling the front-line workers to ‘talk’ the patient down – with their hands both behind them. In other words, be a easy mark for attack.
Your correct Daniel – “The refusal to institutionalize the mentally ill has wrecked our cities and cost a lot of lives. It’s time to rethink it.” The only suggestion I would act that is that we need a system cleared of the nutters that so largely control this nation’s mental health system. Going into the field, I knew (and accepted) the risks and the actual needs of the mental ill, but I also knew (and accepted – to myself) that I was not going to be a punching bag. Too many of the professionals are themselves in la-la land themselves. And I make light of that to not say more plainly what I came to see them as being. It’s an strange place to be when you know the insane are on both sides of the nursing station.
I was in an asylum for a few weeks. Most were there to get drugs. Insurance cuts out after 2 wks.
I thought we kept the dangerous mentally ill. We are NOT, obviously.
Sadly, much of the health care system is both poorly maintained but mostly it is driven by out-and-out greed. Along with many issues of disfunction – that rarely slows the benefit of the greedy.
Actually, the proof is fast building that the system is doing little to keep good eye for the dangerous that (sometimes) past across the mental health system. There appears little profit to be gained for having concern for the safely of the public, and then you must remember that the personal in mental health are mere people. Too many are drawn to it for some personal issue within themselves, and it colors them in their duties. Frequently, this affects their judgement. Let’s just leave that with the word judgement.
Most mental illness is a process of care taking far too long for two weeks… And for the large majority of mentally ill – there is no cure, but only treatment. And still – our science truly has much to go if to match our knowledge of the body. But, the public really do not know the level of danger facing them from some of the mentally trouble population. And last, many of the mentally ill are terribly in danger in a society now clearly growing insane with its selfish ways.
Mentally ill patients when admitted to a hospital or clinic can only remain there as long as the insurance policy they hold, or hospital administration, will allow. Most go back to wherever they came from — their dysfunctional families or the streets. Give “mental institutions” a different, socially acceptable progressive name with lots of funding, and perhaps they would be resurrected as a place for the mentally “challenged” as they are now called.
Correct. In my work experience, I was able to read patient records. They were still all paper. As I was working in state government ran hospitals – you could clearly see if the patient had any private insurance ability and will it ran out. How – I doubt there are many government run hospitals making the list of available run quite low. It is plainly now, maybe a few days in, with a bag of meds later for being back out there with the public. And the public at the mercy of what next happens.
We need to rein in the pharmaceutical manufacturers that peddle their psychotropic drugs to children through school “counselors” and unionized teachers who want little boys to sit in classrooms like vegetables. We need to ban political contributions from those companies, and to ban advertising of prescription drugs on mass media. We need law enforcement to act on known threats, including the purchase and possession of firearms by adjudicated ineligible persons, instead of surveilling parents who oppose pornography in schools. We need to return God to our classrooms, and get Satan out.
Well said. We need to end this era of pharmaceutical mind/behavior control. Unfortunately, drugs appear to be more effective at causing criminal behavior than they are at curing disease.
