The guy unloads a pistol on the president, wounds several people, it’s all caught on film. Hmmm, let’s see … not guilty? Oh, that’s right, he’s insane so he’s not guilty. Sometimes I wish I was insane so I could erase all the mistakes I have made. What’s the voice I keep hearing?
Are you saying that mental illness doesn’t exist or that mental illness cannot cause people to commit violent acts?
Is mental illness voluntary?
Its also been rumoredeorized also that Hinckley is the Bush family hitman. My question is who they want to have assasinated now and has Secret Service around Dean been doubled yet?
It makes no more sense to punish people for mental illness than it makes to punish someone for a broken leg.

So if a mad dog kills the neighbor kid we should shelter him and cure him?
Why should we condemn other animals for madness but not human beings?
Because mad humans can be cured but other mad animals cannot?
If possible, yes. What’s the point of killing it? wanting vengeance on an animal is rather silly, IMO.

Well, I’m all in favor of saving mad animals too but comparing humans to dogs is rather a non-starter isn’t it?
If a human can be cured then what’s the problem? Why shopuld a person be punished for something he can’t control.
We should roast it and eat in at a banquet in honor of the kid.
What a fucking strawman!
Mad dog = rabid
Mad human = insane
Yes.
Dipshit.
There are apparently several St. Elizabeths. Perhaps it is a hospital pertaining to more than one of them?
And so if I’m walking my mad dog down the street and he takes a crap I have to poop 'n scoop. If I’m walking my mad neighbor’s kid down the street and he takes a crap surely I would be expected to poop 'n scoop that as well? Sorry guys, the analogy is air tight.
And I just got the joke to ccwaterback’s name: it’s what you drink before every post, right?
I think it’s more like, mad dogs can’t hire expensive lawyers.
And I see our local veterinarian This Year’s Model has declared all mad dogs are rabid.
And yes, if the neighbor kid poops on my lawn I would expect you CarnalK to scoop it up.
You didn’t say “indiscriminatey aggressive” dog, you said “mad dog”–a phrase which refers to a dog that is rabid.
You offering to put him up for a few days while he visits Mom and Dad?
I really sincerely hope nothing bad happens over this decision. If something bad does happen I believe the “experts” that declared “it’s OK for Johnny to go out and play” should be held accountable.
Strawman.
Don’t worry, I think he’s over Jodie Foster.
Yeah, let’s leave Linda Tripp out of this.
