“This is what results from letting psychos run the streets.”

And the same filthy politicians who want gun control are the ones who want scum out roaming around.

Pot makes you paranoid. Everybody who grew up in the 60s or 70s knew this.

The occasional toke won’t do it, but people who are heavy users really screw up their brains. They either become perma-stoned (which means their brains have been turned to mush and they spend their lives watching reruns of Scooby Doo, as a friend of my son did) , or they develop psychotic symptoms. I actually saw this happen with a friend of mine in high school. And then, 20 years later, I saw it happen with friends of my son (who went into the Navy to get away from the California drug culture).

I live in the vicinity and that’s what we are hearing. He claimed the AT was his sovereign land

EXACTLY...build mental asylums and then stuff all of the deranged/dopers in them and throw the keys away!

Forget gun control...those kids who shoot up schools are all NUTS and should have been institutionalized even before they managed to reach their teens.

How much do you want to be taxed to build and staff the vast infrastructure to institutionalize millions of people? Who will determine who gets locked up and who doesn't? What kind of safeguards and appeal processes would there be? How many courts and judges would it require to hear those cases? Who is going to guard those places? Will there be treatment? What about medication? What rates will be paid for the medications? What certifications would be required to dispense the medications? What government department is going to be responsible? HHS? Justice?

Any idiot who believes it makes you mellow either uses it and attempts to justify their actions or is an ignorant mule.

Drug users are always violent scumbags who waste air.

Twenty+ years ago, seems there was a revolver made of Ti. I’d settle for just the cylinder for my (alloy) model 37.

“A lot of these people with their “trail names” are basically nothing but people who should be in mental hospitals. “

The trail name thing is a tradition on the AT. Everyone who is a through hiker is given a name by other hikers. I bet this nutcase chose his own name.

Hey, it's a start.

Best if they were made of recycled SR-71s...

Why don’t we have a 7 day waiting period and background checks for machetes? Where is Sparticus Booker to say us?

[[[In that incident, James Jordan, 30, was charged with criminal impersonation and drug possession after police say he threatened other hikers on the trail in North Carolina and Tennessee.

Jordan, also known by his trail name ‘Sovereign,’ was released from jail, put on probation and ordered to pay fines. ]]]

Guy gets around. I’d never hike on a trail like this without a heater. Hell, the local bike trail is starting to get a bit scary with all the dirtbags hanging out.

Building mental hospitals and putting people like this into them would make it easier for Democrats to campaign, since their desired demographic would be more concentrated. And the guy is from Massachusetts, which would partially explain the insanity.

We have a judicial system. We hardly need to reinvent or recreate the wheel.

Marijuana isn’t any more dangerous of a drug than alcohol. They are both powerful mind-altering drugs.

Always pack a pistol , and wear it in a belt or shoulder rig , when you go hiking . You never know . Bear ? Cougar ? Insane killer? You have a right to defend yourself . Regardless of what the laws may say about ‘packing’ .


Good advice.

Also, don't shoot yourself in the Buttigieg. Don't keep a round chambered, and if you do, use a holster. If you see a berserker, you will have a few seconds.

In the east you are more at risk from berserkers than bears.
