If things transpire as they seem .Concerning the Newtown ,CT shooting. And congress passes a bill. Which would call on those with suspected mental illnesses to be singled out For scrutiny by law enforcement. What level of mental illnesses will they start from. As the Bible says all have sinned and fall short of the word of God..There is none that does good not one. And there is a 12 step meeting for nearly every complaint imaginable. Who of us will cast the first stone and at whom?
Some say that Adam Lanza was surely quite mad in some way.Or he would not have committed his atrocity. But what about say a person such as Tommy from the Good Fellows movie. How could such a person as he not be called equally insane. Yet he probably was very bright to be able to run his crime syndicate. And with that who would dare to try to incarcerate him. Since he would obviously have a supportive element to defend himself with. Not to mention those members of high Government who become involved in rapes or such crimes or near crimes. I fear the ax will fall as it often does. In our rushes to find justice. Fall quickest on the poorest and most socially isolated among us. So what I 'm saying is that would not any person disliked by enough people or any one person in high places. Be susceptible to the say of any power full public figure to authorities. whom they choose to single out as a trouble maker? Reminiscent of the thought police of Orwells 1984? Those least able to defend what lives they have been allotted. By cruel fate as it were, will find themselves sacrificed on lifes alter. To appease what God. Far too easily in my opinion. So will the scales of justice be equally as blind concerning the plight of all those with mental illnesses.
So if you are one to be in a position of any political influence. I would beg you to have well thought out laws. To ensure mercy and understanding of such a delicate subject and the many known or as yet undiagnosed members of our society whose lives will surely be made all the more difficult . If those in authority chose as I fear further stigmatize an all ready and often times . Defenseless but no always blameless element. As one with suspect Aspergers influence I would dare to say it is a cross that I don't always if ever bare with grace. by R.G 12 19,2012
