Proves that there are weird coincidences. Of course, you can guess where social media is taking this.

And …. the JFK Jr. is still alive conspiracy theory is, well, still alive. Supposedly he will go public and run for President in 2024, or VP for Trump in 2020 (doesn’t sound likely to me, but it is fascinating what people believe.)

We definitely have a mental health problem in the USA, and little is available to help people who self medicate or act out inappropriately. Almost impossible to incarcerate the mentally ill for their own good and the good of society.
Here, here!
Another question that is never answered.
There are other ways to kill people (see below). Also knife attacks. Pressure cooker bombs. Poison on public transit (see Japan). Remember also that half of U.S. gun deaths are suicide. What people believe, and what is true, are often in opposition. I think they want an easy solution that doesn’t exist.
I hope this is true.

Doesn’t surprise me.
This crap is so frustrating!
Good!
Thank you, Judicial Watch, for your continuous efforts.
Where will this end?
Charlie’s prayer.
Have a very good day!

Well, that’s a load of depressing news. Good thing you put that song at the end. 🙂

Stefan Molyneux: Governments just dumped crazy people into the streets and pumped them full of questionable “medication.”
Mentally ill people self-medicated with illegal drugs, sparking the war on drugs.
Prisons are the new “mental institutions,” it’s brutal.
————
If we really want to be honest, one of the first to dump “crazy people into the streets” was Governor Ronald Reagan whose legislative actions closed several mental hospitals in California and said patients would be better served living in their local communities, paid for mostly by local taxpayers. Nice thought except patients were released before proper facilities in local communities were set up. Yeah, there were a few “warehouses” where the ill and disabled were exploited for the money.
A law crafted?/sponsored by do-gooder Republican Assemblyman Frank Lanterman which Reagan signed into law made it illegal to state-hospitalize all but the violent (either to themselves or others and even those had to be released way before they could actually be helped). So the problem with the homeless mentally ill and developmentally disabled began in earnest at that time. Patients could be held 48 or 72 hours (can’t remember which) and if they then wanted to leave, the facility had to let them sign themselves out AND NO SUBSEQUENT GOVERNOR OR ASSEMBLY CHANGED THE LAW.
Seems to me that at one time it was neck and neck as to which state had the finest hospital system IN THE WORLD to assist these two groups…and that was between California and Michigan, if I recall correctly. Professionals came from nearly every interested nation to study those systems which are not worth a potty full today.

My psycho-logy curriculum included a trip to Massillon State Mental Hospital, reportedly the first of it’s kind in the country, by Gov Wm McKinley. It was financed entirely by patient fees, no fed, state, or local funds.
The buildings, built circa 1900, are gorgeous, humungous rooms, and the patients were free to walk the grounds which are acres of gardens and grass. Nurses took care of the patients.
But the patients were frightening. They were strange, muttering, vacant-eyed people, some of whom were obviously dangerous, none fit for society.
It was quite a shock to learn they all were being turned out into the streets.

We did a field trip to the state mental hospital in Elgin, IL when I was in high school. I really don’t remember why we did that, to tell the truth. Same experience that you described.
Two of my great aunts worked in the mental hospital in Pontiac, MI. Most of it is gone now. Huge and well regarded hospital at the time.
