Omar Gonzalez is a honorably discharged Iraq war vet suffering from PTSD, currently homeless. I hope he gets the care he deserves. http://www.latimes.com/nation/nation...920-story.html

Reckon how many deployments Omar Gonzalez had? Reckon if he was stop-lossed for years beyond his contracted time. The VA system is supposedly overloaded with mental health cases, but not only because of the deluge of PTSD from 3 and 4 and even 5 deployments to Iraq/Afghanistan. But because it continues to be so difficult for Americans to get decent mental health care in the current for-profit, employer based, insurance industry mangled care system, so many vets are in treatment at the VA for non-service related mental health issues, that those with serious PTSD problems can't get the care they require.

It's 40 years past the time this country should have had single payer.

Fortunately there were highly trained professionals from the secret service there, and no shots were fired.

Can you imagine what would have happened if it had been a bunch of knuckle dragging, mouth breathing civilian cops instead?

Bullets would have been flying everywhere just like rain in a Cat 4 Hurricane.

Wonder if he's a lefty environmentalist who has gone over the edge:

According to an affidavit signed by Secret Service officer David Hochman, Gonzalez after his arrest told Agent Lee Smart that he was concerned that the “atmosphere was collapsing” and that he needed to inform the president to get the word out to the people.

"The atmosphere is collapsing" is in the same vein as "this aluminum foil hat protects my brain from the doro-rays." (I actually had a client one time who told me that she was a victim of "doro-rays" from outer space. She used the term like I was supposed to understand what it meant.)

He's psychotic...and you're a twit.

So are you in 10th grade yet? Name calling is still all you got.
