So, ever since the criminally insane man escaped at the fair, I've been holding something in. Crazy, I know, since I'm usually the source of many a socially awkward moment filled with inappropriately blunt comments. Or at least that is what I strive for.
I have heard far too many people say that it's outragous that mentally ill people were let loose at the fair. Um, let me reiterate. And I quote: "patients discharged from psychiatric facilities who did not abuse alcohol and illegal drugs had a rate of violence no different than that of their neighbors in the community."
All I'm saying's that the term mentally ill is not interchangeable with the word dangerous. Most mentally ill people are not dangerous. And you interact with mentally ill people all the time. They don't all hear voices.
But seriously, who takes criminally insane killers to the fair?

The mentally ill are being guarded by the mentally ill. They are also running our country.
