This kid should have been locked away in an asylum

10. A simplistic, draconian solution to a complex problem.

:/

Here in CA, Ahnold slashed mental health care budgets 60% in a single shot, and it was not his only act against it. Those who lobby for guns, for big pharma, for for-profit prisons, for TSA/DHS/Patriot Act, for drones in our skies and audio recorders upon city buses, are happy to create the need for them through slashing care for those who might, not having sufficient care, go out and for whatever reason become involved in a crime. This also includes groups such as addicts and the homeless. (I've done copwatch on Skid Row downtown LA and laws are thick there against the homeless; citations and arrests for nonsense build up and are a funnel into the increasingly for-profit prison system. Note that sheriff Lee Baca is asking for $2 billion to build two new prisons.)

Truly, blame the republicans. Blame the very rich who seek to further enrich themselves at others' expense (and suffering). Lock up the mentally ill? I sir, am "mentally ill" and I hate guns, violence, and destruction. I am a sane voice for a kinder, more inclusive and harmonious solution. I've had my own difficulties but at the core this is who I am and what I wish to build. The mentally ill are the victims of multiple levels of profiteers. The system is sick with greed and must be changed.

And yes, some cities are installing microphones etc. on city buses to record conversations because someone has to push the concept that "all Americans are potential terrorists" in order to sell arms (and microphones/recording devices/airport scanners/drones). Shit's, fucked up. Shit's fucked up and BULLshit.
