The reason I bring his up is because of the nut who managed to escape the mental hospital in Hawaii, they caught him in California 72 hours later, yesterday. Yes it was planned.
I think it is very possible to be mentally ill and guilty and plan at the same time.
Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about the Psycho movie series, where they let him go after pills and therapy, and yes, there were more than one. I think with the violently mentally ill, yes they need to be contained as much as the sane, but I don't buy the idea that you cant have a mental defect and plan at the same time.
Of course this is completely separate from things like schizophrenia. Just wondering if others get what I am saying.
So a loony tune escapes from a mental hospital in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, gets dressed, goes to the airport and passes through the Gestapo line, gets on a plane, and flies to California. He isn't the crazy one, everyone else is.
Funny you should mention this. I was just watching the late news and they mentioned that the TSA had nabbed 62 guns this week alone nationwide that people had in carry-on bags. The bad part is that their own Inspector General tests show they fuck up 70% of the time.
