My mom used to work in a cbsd school. There was a townhall about covid via phone and she had it on speaker (my husband and I lived with her and my father at the time while selling our house). When talking about masks and ways to mitigate the spread, one of the dads said “maybe the fat teachers can just lose weight.”

I would argue that mental illness is only a defense for those that we fear to call “criminal.” This woman is a criminal. This woman is attacking people, yet people use the excuse of mental illness. I know mentally ill people and they don’t attack people. I don’t imagine people allowing the Oath Keepers to use mental illness as defense of them, despite mental illness likely being present. I’m tired of seeing mental illness be a defense of criminals.

As for the public mental institutions that the “government just kept diverting their funding until these places couldn’t exist anymore,” their closures stemmed from systemic abuse and isolation of patients that occurred within them. Honestly, fuck it; bring them back, but they were no better than a jail that operated on people against their wills. Stating that the government defunded what they called “lunatic asylums” to hurt those they served is simply untrue.

People are concerned about the incident. The reputability of the news outlet becomes in question when that outlet struggles with spelling, grammar, and the components of language. Upon looking closer, the title of this article is misleading.

Would you take this source seriously? No, based upon the website’s illiteracy alone.

Did you scan? You can’t just plug it in and it’ll work. You have to hit “menu.. antenna… scan for channels.”

Literally every antenna I’ve ever had picked up every channel from 45 and below. You’re doing something wrong.
