ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[BlueTiki]

I don't think the government should be responsible for providing psychological care to those guilty of violence. I don't believe things like that work unless one wants to be helped.

Nor do I.  In fact, I believe those that have committed criminal violence should be denied firearm ownership.  I was really addressing the "preemptive" Red Flag removal of firearms . . . as would have been (possibly effectively) used with Hale, Sturgeon and Patterson (all struggling with mental health issues and without noteworthy criminal records . . . except Patterson . . . probation violation for controlled substance charge). 

It seemed to work for the kid in Colorado planning a mass-killing event.  Someone saw something and said something.  Mandatory court ordered "Anger Management", IMO, is nothing more than "feel good we're doing something about it" window dressing.

What did you think of israel?

I really enjoyed my time in Israel.  Never felt "unsafe".  And it opened my eyes to more than what is reported, by the media, regarding the Palestinian conflict.  All Palestinians are not terrorists nor do they want the death of Israel.  Spent as much time with Palestinians as I did with Israelis  (usually both groups together). 

Seriously . . . entering the country, you get the third degree . . . and it ain't a quick process.

Did I mention the food?  Some of the best veggies I've ever eaten!  (And I am sooo carnivore!   )
