• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Weren't you on about making sure that the mentally ill were cared for in another thread? I guess 'care for' means 'locked up'.
My guess is Out of sight, out of mind. Apparently most people would benefit from therapy.I hope all the people involved in January 6th. And other acts of violence should have to have therapy.

Yes, many do. Unfortunately, therapy can be incredibly expensive for some.

I’m sure the calls to address mental health we get after school shootings will bring that price right down in short order.

I sure hope so and it’s not the same old, same old. Change must occur.

Not to go off topic, but mental health is incredibly important.

Yes, it must, it’s different this time. Just like it was last time and the time before that and the time before that…

You know what would be a better solution? Give the woman a gun. More guns = more safety, after all.

From one of the less-biased sourced referenced by the OP's Post article:

"Her social media posts were becoming more aggressive than usual with the new administration, but seeing as she would tag different government agencies and try to recruit them to sell solar panels with her, I didn't take them seriously," the friend said.

Elsewhere in that article, it says that she told the Secret Service she was going to kill Trump and the judge is quoted as letting her out because he didn't think she could follow through on the promise, because she was described doing it with a bladed weapon and if she'd had access to a gun, he would've decided differently.
