[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

DP. Do you realize there’s already a massive shortage of mental health care providers in this country? The inpatient pediatric mental health facility in my city has a nine month waiting list.[/quote]

Supply and demand. You can train with an associate’s degree for some nursing and medical assistant jobs. Liberals who would have majored in some silly humanities degree Will major in health care related stuff instead and actually get jobs so they don’t have to beg for us to pay back their student loans for worthless degrees.[/quote]

You’re suggesting that someone with an associates degree can care for people so mentally ill that they must be institutionalized? Do you have any idea how much you’d have to pay to have the numbers or kind of providers needed for a place like that - the answer is more than we have, so it will be poorly paid and staffed by low quality staff and there will be neglect and abuse like crazy just like it was in the old days. [/quote]

No one is denying it will be expensive. [b]What I’m saying is that I (a Republican) and many others will pay higher taxes for this[/b]. So the jobs can be higher paying and subsidized or whatever. Better use of my taxes than whatever else bloated fed gov bureaucracies could be doing.[/quote]
I call BS on this. 
Show me a Republican that wants to raise taxes for anything, no matter how good for society.[/quote]

It won't be necessary to raise taxes. Stop funding the programs that DO NOT work. [/quote]
