How did he manage not to stain his shirt?

I eat spaghetti in a white shirt and first bite some sauce will splatter right in the middle of it.

>>People felt they should be in regular society.

Kate Millett, the founder of NOW was committed by her family after she’d become famous. Her sister said she was babbling incoherently at one of her appearances.

Kate insisted that crazy doesn’t exist, it’s just society uncomfortable with other ways of thinking.

Another radical dyke feminazi in Europe also campaigned against psychotherapy and encouraged chaos in the streets.

The inmates truly do rule the asylums/institutions these days.

You really think marijuana is a worse drug than alcohol? How many murders do think involve alcohol? Just look at the shootings and stabbings that happen outside bars across the country. The people who say there’s no negative side effects to marijuana are irresponsible, but it’s just as ridiculous to pretend that marijuana causes more violent behavior in people than alcohol does. That doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of people who can drink responsibly without any problems.

Unicoi County had him and let him go...local businesses want that hiker money...elderly residents very nervous, but well armed.

Apparently this murderer had been reported to authorities as a threat before this activity happened and well they didn’t take proper action.

Shelter in place maybe.
Set up a perimeter.
Just like in Florida.

Now they wonder if there were other victims of his attacks that they don’t know about.

How many people who smoke marijuana also drink alcohol?

Drugs are ruining this country, as in hard drugs and recreational gateway drugs.

So is the practice of prescribing psychiatric drugs to seriously mentally ill persons and turning them back out into the community, expecting them to take their meds on schedule. Psych drugs have notoriously bad rates of “compliance” with doctor’s orders, because as soon as the mentally ill persons feel better, they are tempted to stop taking the drugs that are making them feel better and function more (approximately) normal.

Today's pot is supposedly much stronger than the stuff in the '60s. Never having done/smoked it, nor any other illicit substance, I couldn't tell you from experience.

Most of the shootings in Chicago are gang related and they are dope pusher turf wars.

Unlike pot, you can have a beer or a glass of wine without having any change in behavior and/or mental state.

Investigation Discovery has featured a story about murders on the Appalacian Trail (and also hints of possible hauntings). IIRC, it was the same man who committed two murders of campers / hikers in the same place with several years between. Creepy, I think.

The pot probably makes this whacko more sane.

Sounds more like a meth-head or cracker.

I don’t smoke weed. I tried it a few times when I was younger and I didn’t like the feeling. I don’t think weed it’s even remotely dangerous as the government use to tell us it was, but now there are too many people who defend it like it has all these benefits without any side effects. I think that’s just as dishonest, but I’ve seen more people kill themselves with alcohol than weed. That doesn’t mean the people who drink a glass or two of wine with a meal shouldn’t be able to do so.

Today’s pot is 10x as powerful as that of 50 yrs ago hence many cannot handle it. It has always been prone to wiping people out and putting them to sleep. That caricature is correct. There are also new and more efficient ways of using it and concentrates, some of which are over 90% THC.

Even with the increased strength pot is a minor problem compared to the Ox-Cotin epidemic. I just saw a documentary about the plague sweeping Baltimore (in this case.) One look at these addicts shows how innocuous weed is.

Look at the shirt this guy is wearing... seems to be an “authentic” reproduction shirt style dating from the 1700’s. These are sold for re-enactors in historic parks (usually hired for the season to “play a part”, such as in colonial reproduction villages, all over the Eastern US- PA, VA, WV, NH VT and yes...Massachusetts).

Drugged physical affect (state of facial rictus). With a name of “Sovereign” and “issues”— one wonders the level of his paranoid schizophrenia brought on by heavy duty marijuana smoking in combo with other drugs providing ideation of personal power and fugue state irrationality.

Federal murder- on Federal lands— he could be executed. Probably should be if proven— the last bit of solitude available in the country for backpacking long distance—and a loon kills someone.

The channel 10 adjunct article on where you can carry says it is based on the States-— NO— the State laws within concurrent federal lands do NOT supersede legal carry. If, however someone walks off the property line into say, Maryland there is then jurisdiction. Happens a lot with people touristing in VA and then cross into MD with unrecognized carry permit. One more reason for National Right to Carry. Period.

Alcohol causes more violence than marijuana. There’s statistical data to support that. Marijuana has side effects like anything else, but it doesn’t directly kill as many people as alcohol does. That doesn’t mean people can’t drink alcohol responsibly, or that you can’t acknowledge that fact and still be against the legalization of marijuana. I get annoyed by the dishonesty on both sides of this issue. Marijuana is still a drug with risk. It’s irresponsible for people who support it’s legalization to push it as having all these great positive effects with no risk, but just because the government suddenly decided to tell us it was illegal doesn’t make it something it’s not either.

shirt style appears to be retro Colonial era- 1700’s inner shirt— the era of 1600 1700’s type shirt- note the ribbed/rolled long collar and shirt front ties— not buttons.

We’re already taxed for that stuff, it’s a matter of priorities. Most county seats, at the time the land was platted, set aside land specifically for county shelters or mental health facilities. Nut cases are nothing new, it’s only relatively recently that anyone thought it was a good idea to turn them loose in the streets or mainstream them in the schools or let them hold public office.
