[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Media is reporting the suicidal shooter was:

“Robin Westman, who is in his early 20s,”

News outlets keep referring to a   “20-minute YouTube video shared on his YT account hours before the shooting”

What was in the video?  Is it still up? [/quote]

It's just schizophrenic nonsense. 
You can't lock someone up for being nuts in America. They have to either commit a crime or tell a healthcare provider that they are planning to commit a crime (or suicide). And then you can get them 72 hours in a hospital.
This needs to change. We have people who are a danger to society and we are just waiting for these ticking time bombs to go off. [b]Often even their own parents are begging for help.[/b]
I will happily pay more taxes for this and I am GOP.[/quote]

This is so tragic. We need to be able to put people with severe mental disabilities like schizophrenia in protective care. [/quote]

Honestly Democrats could win their way back to power by making re-institutionalization of the mentally ill part of their platform. It overlaps with their generalized concern about health care access anyway and would generate tons of jobs for the liberal types who like the caring professions. Talking about gun control hasn’t gotten them anywhere. Re-institutionalization is common sense and attractive to moderates. [/quote]

Who’s gonna staff these clinics??[/quote]

How did they staff crazy houses, group homes, and psych wards   back then?  pp is right. You didn’t see this type of thing in the past because crazy people or problem teens were institutionalized early away from polite society  [/quote]

They staffed them with the dregs of society. People who got off on torture.

The institutions were closed for a reason - the whole system was beyond reform.

They were closed because Reagan wanted to cut government spending. This was in the old days, when Republicans were somewhat normal and stood for fiscal responsibility. [/quote]
