Woodridge man fired shots into Chicago park; police find handwritten notes about mass shootings...

In1980 Congress passed and the President signed the Mental Health Systems Act. That act provided greater funding to local mental health centers. In 1981, with the pushing of the President and the expectations of Congress that local provisions were sufficient, the Act was largely repealed. Today mental health support remains under funded with entire counties in this country lacking in places for those individuals who need it to go to. The result is insufficient supervision, homelessness and many deeds that wouldn't have occurred had they been given a place to go. This is what happens when politics gets in the way of health care. We could have paid a higher price then. Failing to do so means we pay a higher price today and the price we are paying is unacceptable

Need to get idiots off the streets

A suburban Woodridge man was arrested in the South Side’s Englewood neighborhood earlier this week after police found several loaded weapons and notes with ramblings about mass shootings in a minivan, according to Cook County court documents."
