Yes, I am sure you both like your Uncle Toms and your Aung Jemimas. Lisa is still crying about a pancake box.
Of course, no one has defended the killer in this case, this is a horrible crime.
The problem here is that we've gutted mental health services to pay for tax cuts for rich people, which means that crazy people who randomly stab or push people in front of trains because the voices in their heads told them to is a fact of life. Others buy guns, which according to the wingnuts, is their god-given right because the militia amendment is poorly written.
Our mental health crisis is a combination of liberal naivety and conservative greed.
I blame the liberals who went in front of the courts and INSISTED we close down the mental hopsitials, because Nurse Ratched was mean to Jack Nicholson.
I blame the conservatives who gutted what little help these people were getting because, hey, those rich people need to buy mansions and dressage horses.
