If you don't think like the masses, you need help.
If you think things that the establishment thinks are harmful, you need help, and God help you if you put those thoughts on paper or say them.
It is nothing different than the Imus thing or a campus speech code. It makes me sick.
Words are deemed to have special power regardless of any accompanying action.
I wonder if anyone thinks the kid to be disturbed, or if they just don't want to be held accountable should he shoot someone and the media begins probing them as the why they didn't reach out to the obvious cries for help as denoted in his writings. It's a CYA.
It's this way in politics. God help you if you don't believe in man made global warming (and even if you say you do, you can go ahead and fly on your private jets to political debates because you're important, damn it, but that's another story), or if you go onto a campus with protesters who have no desire to hear what you say or even let others hear what you want to say.
What separates this from the VA Tech incident is this kid hasn't done anything illegal. Leading up to the VA Tech incident, the shooter had been detained and ruled unstable, but in an odd twist, he couldn't be stopped from going to school.
How about we start holding people accountable for what they do and not for what they think? If that had happened at VA Tech, those 32 people would still be alive.
