@theintercept @Binder Part of the problem of this is that there are violent extremists on both ends of the political spectrum, and neither side will admit it, so everything defaults to “Of course it must be those guys who oppose us politically.”
They don’t want it to be anyone on “their side”.
In this case they certainly don’t want it to be anyone on their side with mental issues, which they cut funding to properly address and manage.
Those are off the table for discussion. Ergo, Damn those lefties!
