[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2109417, member: 1132"] Her death was 100% preventable, IF we had a mental health system that was worth a damn at all in this country. Unfortunately, opposing sides came together in the early 80's and deinstitutionalized patients in mental hospitals held against their will. left-wing reformers who thought they were protecting the "rights" of mental patients teamed up with right-wing libertarians to discharge patients. Reagan was for reducing monetary burdens on states and the ACLU thought institutionalizing people was a violation of their rights. Since then, people who desperately need help are frequently abandoned. They make up a sizable portion of the full-time homeless population, because there's no place to put them and no one wants anything to do with them. When you research mass killings, there's a significant upward trend ever since that point in time. It's sad and pathetic, and both sides are at fault. :( [/QUOTE]
