This is Madness

A Virginia court found Cho to be dangerously mentally ill in 2005 and ordered him to receive outpatient treatment. But because Cho was not ordered into hospital treatment, the court's order was never provided to the FBI and incorporated in its database...

Now wait just a minute here: if he was "dangerously mentally ill," why didn't the court order him into a hospital, and why isn't he still there until deemed no longer a danger?

Isn't that the real issue?

And I love how "the FBI has more than doubled the number of people nationwide who are prohibited from buying guns," while Paul Helmke says it's not enough and the "list is missing four of every five Americans who have been ruled mentally dangerous to themselves or others."

Anybody see a trend emerging here, or wonder why "The Winning Team" is facilitating this...?

Paul's numbers seem accurate...HE thinks that 80% of the nation is nuts...it just happens that those are the ones that oppose him.

I also can't help but note that most of the increase is from Kalifornia. The rest of the country's been saying they're nuts for years.


David, anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows what this is all about. We don't need to see a trend, we know what the outcome of this is intended to do. Just have a look at the no-fly list.

When you put the inmates in charge of the asylum....

It was a common practice in the Soviet Union to declare politically unpopular people "insane" and confine them to mental hospitals. Looks like it's on it's way as a tactic here in the near future.
Once again, those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
