Is this latest theater shooting going to be by another Right Wing gun nut? Any bets?
thank you KurtThis is a classic troll post. Not only did you bait about half of our forum members into a confrontation by calling names and implying blame, your post is extremely insensitive and disrespectful to the victims, their families, their community, and probably many more.

The common theme, once again, is crazy. Whether Aurora, or Charleston, or Lafayette, we need to get the mentally ill help in this country. Jail or the street is not the answer.
The man who killed two people and wounded nine others at a movie theater was so mentally ill and violent that years ago, his wife hid his guns and his family had him hospitalized against his will before obtaining a court order to keep him away.
EDIT: Need to check typing first.
AS I recall it was during the Reagan years that all the mental hospitals were closed and the crazies were pushed out onto the street and still remain there today living and breeding without proper care or treatment.
Andy, Is it not both interesting and telling that some people have but one purpose in life it seems but to blame everything wrong in the WORLD on "right wing" conservative politics. I do not believe this will ever change and there will always be this adversarial divide between good people on both side. People killing other people in mass shootings is a threat to all of us. Why do we even try to make a political statement out of it like poppy or Jensky. I don't understand them at all. We should be asking much better questions than poppy's to start this thread. I have faith in mankind but I tell you it does sometime waiver...Oh BS! The Colorado State Hospital, primarily a mental institution, was closed way back in the late '50's. My grandfather was a patient there, though not for mental illness. At that point in time, some state hospitals cared for other long term illnesses. I do agree that we should have public supported institutions for those needing mental treatment. On another level, it would be nice if some would quit trying to blame EVERYTHING on one party or the other.
