Thanks to Ronnie Raygun's cuts to mental health services these people cannot get the help they need.

But hey, billionaires get a fifth vacation mansion so it all balances.

Reagan has been dead and buried for a long, long time. Plenty of opportunity to change those laws, if we were so inclined. Even blue states haven't fixed it because, when push comes to shove, we don't care.

Too bad the assailant wasn't an immigrant.

Then you'd really have the sensationalism Trumpers seek.

Send criminals to prisons? That's a strange idea.

We need a Dirty Harry on every train to put the trash down. Criminals need incarcerated first. Forget the concept of rehab.

Just curious how those numbers compare with Trump.

"Dr. Alvin Dandan described his aunt as a 'brave, independent woman' who moved alone from the Philippines in the 1980s and put him through medical school. For more than 40 years, Dandan was also a 'cherished employee' at the [hotel where she worked]." www.sfchronicle.com

Seems kinda biased. I think we should hear about all of the contributions the alleged murderer has made to society. #AllLivesMatter
