Mom apparently spent a lot of time drinking at a bar. And Dad apparently hadn’t had contact with his nutcase son in over 2 years.

Maybe it's just me, but a bar isn't the first place I'd go to look for mental health advice.

The problem is that you can’t really turn to the state to fix this issue. No one is going to take over the responsibility of some nutcase relative of yours....unlike 1930s America where you could deposit a relative with the state facility and just walk away.

If we came to realize that 100k Americans represent a threat to friends, relatives, and school kids...maybe we’d be willing to revert back to the old system of facility management.

We will see how much alcohol played into this tragedy--for the shooter, Adam Lanza.

That’s the impression the MSM would like to give. I guess she deserved to die. It’s the parents’ fault. The son was just an instrument. What crap.
