Does anyone else remember back when conservatives said that the left would become unhinged when they didn’t get their way?
I’m still waiting for that to happen so I can at least admit that they were right about that one thing.
Witnesses told police they saw a man, identified as Clinton Collins, “charge at the victim and stab him with the flagpole through his head,” the release said. “That’s what he gets,” Collins said, witnesses told police. “He deserved it.” Collins was taken into custody immediately, police said. It took longer to help the victim, whose injuries put firefighters in a delicate predicament, according to police. “The pole entered the victim’s head beneath his jaw and exited the other side of his head near his right temple area,” the release said. “The American Flag was still attached (to) the pole at the time.” Due to the size of the pole, firefighters had to cut part of it off for the victim to fit into an ambulance, police said.
Fucking hell… That poor guy.
That psychopath needs help.
Found this other article on it and it mentions:
KOKI also identified a woman who told the station that she recognized Collins after seeing him exhibit similarly disturbing behavior about a week prior to the incident at the Sonic.
“We saw him start to charge at this person who was just sitting on the ground in front of the McDonald’s,” she told the station in an interview. “He charged at him with the flagpole and started doing like a stabbing motion with it.”
I suspect this guy is mentally ill.
Mental illness may be at play, but the systematic problem is that mental healthcare is difficult and expensive - even with insurance - and that’s if they even take insurance.
Without a combination of Obama care and a mother who had the means to not only try to get me help, but continued over the course of my life to try to help …
I’m bipolar. It took a long time (27 years of age) and lots of money to get to being an otherwise fairly normal functional person.
Mental health needs to be a priority, it needs to be socialized (like all medical care) so people don’t have to pick between the rent (always rising) and seeing a doctor.
Mental health also carries a stigma still, which is why I’m open about mental health and my struggles. Because when I’m on my meds, on your average day, I’m just your average civillian. Without meds I don’t sleep for days, get into a manic paranoid spiral, then crash into a depression… Before I found the right meds, that depression lasted two years and getting out of bed was a major victory.
Not violent but certainly not functional. Proper screening and checkups that don’t make you pick between meals and mental health would go a long way to spotting the folks with violent impulses. Get them on some meds,some talk therapy, work through it.
Not impale a stranger through the head with a makeshift spear.
$5 says I know how he votes.
Not at all? Dude probably doesn’t know what day it is.
Where do I send my cashapp deets?
Or maybe he writes in Ronald Reagan each election, muttering how if Carter gets into office, he’s going to let those Nazi commies take over the country and everyone will end up speaking Danish and forced to work in the sand mines so the European nudy beaches will stay nice, which he supports but is embarrassed about so he overcompensates.
I miss Florida man. Oklahoma man is scary.
Pretty sure Florida man ate a guy’s whole face. This is just fresh, it’ll pass.
