After every shooting and bombing, well, any event where one 'mentally ill' person manages to kill three or more people, we hear the refrain "everyone should have seen the signs before it came to this. It’s mental illness and the system should have stopped him long ago. Guns aren't the problem."
Well I'd like to report a guy who thinks he's president of the United States, which he believes, allows him to do whatever he wants. He hangs out with some truly strange people who urge him to do really bizarre stuff, but they tend not to stay for long. If they disagree with him on anything, he kicks them out.
He tweets threatening messages to people who disagree with him, whether they are members of Congress, judges, journalists, FBI, football players, former sex partners, ordinary citizens, or leaders of other countries.
And for him the truth is whatever he says it is at any given moment.
He has a suitcase, I'm told with which he can blow up the world. It has instructions on how to set off nuclear weapons. (One positive is that he doesn't like getting instructions from anyone.) He's got this huge cache of weapons and he's recently gotten approval for an additional nearly $700 billion in weapons and other war supplies. I think there should be a two year waiting period before he gets any of that.
I doubt there is any other single individual with more resources to do harm to the world, whether though actual arms and weapons or through destruction of the environment, civilization and community, and the good will that humans have been able to develop over the years. Or who’s any more unbalanced and impulsive. He's unpredictable and decidedly misogynist.
So rather than be sorry, I think it's my duty as an American citizen and as a human being to report him. He needs serious psychological review.
If Republicans in Congress are serious about stopping violence through catching the mentally ill who show signs they might commit majoracts of violence, it's time to review this man's stability, particularly given the stash of weapons he's collecting.
I predict a serious act of violence if he is allowed continued free reign (pun intended.) And then everyone left will be wringing their hands either saying, "who could have known" or "I always thought . . ."
