Why are grown men going around attacking old ladies, little girls and old men out of the blue for no reason whatsoever? It's just sick! These people have done nothing to provoke anybody and yet they are still victims of violent, random crimes.

I would like to see a psychiatrists/psychologists opinion on this. It's just been happening too often lately and these aren't isolated incidents.

A lot of the crime we're seeing today is a reflection of the poison that Fuckface Von Clownstick vomited on his followers.

I've read some comments on Rome Burning in Man Form on YouTube. Before, during, and after the Angry Creamsicle's chokehold on democracy. Before, the comments were tame. During and after, the comments were and are sickly degenerate.

People are still obsessed with the Screaming Carrot Demon. Violently so. Their hatred for the libs is so strong, that it seems that's all they think about. No matter where they post (The Tangerine Tornado's hardcore base), they always lie and attack libs with, what they think are harsh words, complete with misspellings.

They're beginning to turn that anger on the public, as witnessed by 1/6. Thanks to Captain Chaos.

News report said witnesses claimed he was mumbling to himself.

I've heard of this before, as I'm sure others have. This guy is not evil so much as he is sick. I hope when they find him he gets treatment more than punishment.

In the USA, if you’re mentally ill, your chances of wandering the streets homeless are very good.

Are less violent than the normal population.

Likely this asshole was a career bully.

And mentally ill people do not make up a majority of homeless people. Alot of homeless are normal people.

Stop spreading stigma of mentally ill people.
I have a mental illness PTSD. Depression.

Saying homeless are mentally ill and assholes are mentally ill hurts.

Because I am neither of those things.

I didn’t say all mentally ill people are violent.

Quit reading so much into things I didn’t say.
Quit saying I am doing things that I am not doing, such as spreading a stigma about mentally ill people.

Have a nice day.

Bipolar depression...when hubs had a really good job and insurance, we spent thousands out of pocket. We still struggle with this. I don't know what people do who don't have the resources.
