Ya think? There is a direct correlation to the Fed Gov't shutting down mental institutions and the subsequent rise in crime rates nationally. Look it up.

When state mental hospitals were closed and the residents mainstreamed into the community, they didn't appropriate any money to take care of them. They and their families were on their own and became a problem for the rest of us.

That's what me buddy said. Apparently, it was caused by the Feds ending their funding of the State run hospitals. Things have been screwed all over the country since.

Absolutely I remember several mental institutions in the town where I grew up. I was appalled at their lunacy when I happened to visit one because kids just never saw such things out on the streets, unlike today where they are everywhere. Go to the local mall and you’ll be sure to run into one, and the panhandlers. Today there are dangerous bipolar government employees protected by unions and HIPPA rules that hide their crazy info from Human Resources and supervisors. They go off their meds and threaten and intimidate coworkers and return to work after a brief “hospital stay”. Some managers find them to be useful idiots.

Nursing homes have been turned into psyche units that allow these sick ones free range to act out putting seniors at their mercy. There just are not enough units to treat so many out there.
