Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Perhaps we can thank JFK for our school shooters and the homeless

If one really looks at the issue of school shooters, well mass killers in general in the past few decades it is clear that what they have in common is mental illness that is not being effectively dealt with.

Now why do I blame JFK for that and homelessness? Because he signed into law the liberal utopian Community Mental Health Act of 1963 that effectively shut down the mental health asylums and let the loonies out on the streets and nothing has been done since. Now given the asylums effectively warehoused the mentally ill and conditions in many of them were horrible. However instead of fixing those conditions, we now have the mentally ill left untreated and many of them ticking time bombs.

Damn Dumbocrats have f...ked America up!!

To be fair to Kennedy, his intent was to create community mental health centers where mentally ill people could live in the community while receiving care. He had a mentally ill sister who had be secluded most of her life and he didn't believe that was helpful to her. Anyway, he signed the bill and was killed a month later, so he was not able to see the plan through. Carter tried to resurrect the plan but when Reagan came along a year later he reversed what Carter had started, and now pretty much, here we are. Crazy, isn't it!

The road to hell was paved with good intent.

Liberals always have good intentions, yet I can't think of a single social program they've championed that hasn't been an abject failure. There might be a lesson there.

WELL SAID.

none of the dhimmicrat social engineering was an accident, nor was it intended to benefit the Country. Everything they have done was with the intent of destroying America.
This shooting, as well as virtually all the other non muslim terror attacks, was done by mentally ill kids that were KNOWN to authorities as high risk. The kids involved broke multiple laws in obtaining and using guns to kill. We don't need more laws, we need to clean up the mentally ill sicko kids out there.

The emasculation of the male gender is not by accident. This is the fruits of the seeds that have been planted.

tndrbstr,

I understand that this is a stereotype to some degree BUT it has been my experience that foreign women are SEEKING a traditional MAN, as opposed to the sort of person that the young US women think that they want.
(Mine is a first generation Sicilian beauty and she expects to be treated like a traditional lady; she IS a lady clear to her bone marrow.)

I consider my YL to be my treasure & what The Good Book calls: A pearl beyond price.

JFK worried about his sister? More like doinking everyone else's!

Do you remember when Ronald Reagan released many mentally disabled and ill patients? Many of them ended up sitting in front of the white House on Pennsylvania Avenue; I used to see them as I walked by them at lunch time.

FAIL. The ACLU forced it. Tell the rest of the story.

Typical liberal move, tell a half truth. That's about as close as they'll ever get to telling the truth.

Agreed.
