If ABC wants to bring politics into this incident, they would do better to ask why Jimmy Carter began to process of defunding and closing down State Mental Hospitals nationwide. For all intents and purposes, Jimmy Carter created street people. Those who were once institutionalized are now living on the streets and roaming free like James Holmes to beg, kill and maim. The criteria for admission to these institutions were that the person was either incapable of caring for him/herself, a danger to him/herself, or a danger to others. James fell into category #3 and, in another era, may have been put away but now, thanks to Jimmy, parents like Jimmy’s have no recourse and no help. While our taxes have gone through the moon, this is just one more service that has been discontinued.
