  • 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.

From your news. This man had a history of mental health issues. I'm not sure how Democrats have blood on their hands. He needed. mental help. So, maybe federal government should put more funding in to mental health.
I agree. Putting Republican VS Democratic solves nothing. We all, collectively, must work together. IMO.

The murderer was 14 times convicted.... and 14 times released..

his family reported in 2025 that they sought involuntary commitment for his untreated schizophrenia, but the request was denied, indicating mental health concerns were raised but not adequately addressed before the incident.

Failure of the judicial system regardless of their "party affiliation"

Involuntary commitment is a legal process where a person is admitted to a mental health facility or psychiatric hospital against their will, typically when they are deemed a danger to themselves or others due to a mental health condition, or are unable to care for themselves. In the context of the Decarlos Brown Jr. case, his family sought involuntary commitment in 2025 for his untreated schizophrenia, but the request was denied.

It's too bad this family wasn't warned of the evils of the American city...

Amid the relics of Iryna’s life—sketchbooks, paintbrushes, a dog-eared copy of The Little Prince—Olena uncovered a sealed envelope tucked inside a jewelry box. Inside was $2,000 in crisp bills and a handwritten letter in Iryna’s elegant script: “For Mom and Dad, when the war at home ends, may you have an amazing trip to Hawaii. This is where I always wanted to go.” Olena, clutching the note, broke into sobs. “My girl worked so hard to save this for us,” she whispered to her husband, Petro, through tears. “She gave us her heart, even now.”- A Daughter’s Final Gift: Iryna Zarutska’s Heartbreaking Letter and $2,000 for Her Parents’ Dream Vacation Found Amid Grief - News
