it's just the standard gun nut / republican reaction whenever the shooter isn't brown / black / muslim: 'mental illness is to blame, has nothing to do with guns...'

Want a black sheep ? Psychotropic drugs.

Hell yes. Ready to taste the top tier.

I already knew the details when I posted.

And here I was all these years thinking you scored better than me.

I remember scoring really high and having five pages of jobs print out for me and them looking at me incredulously when I picked to be at tanker instead of doing IT networking with an AIT in Hawaii. No regrets.. Fort Knox sucked though.

With my own experience riding in a tank (T34), I can relate.

I was doing really well in nuke school when I was busted for underage drinking, and I ended up striking Boatswain's Mate, the Navy's intellectual equivalent to infantry. Loved it.

If you're going to enlist you need to just get big guns and fuck shit up. Nothing else like it. Love shooting. Gotta put old Beastie Boys or something like that on the coms. Credence Clearwater Revival was another favorite. Nothing like firing cannons at night to Bad Moon on the Rise lol.

Was such a long time ago. Sometimes I think doing it again but I'm almost 40 and I would just be some therapist instead of a tank commander. And the pay would probably suck.

T34s are sweet. The Russians can build a tank. Those things are all over Eastern Europe.

Criminals don't vote. They usually don't even work.

We just rejected the decriminalization of drugs in Ohio: https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/hamilton-county/cincinnati/ohio-voters-soundly-reject-issue-1

Not total decriminalization but would turn possession of anything into a misdemeanor rather than a felony. I'm not a criminal, yet I voted for this act. I don't think a lot of heroin users went out and voted so that they will not be charged with felonies anymore lol. The heroin vote isn't very strong. Neither is the burglarbloc, or the mugging lobby.

I think that if we are going to close all the mental health hospitals and open more jails we should at least put the mental health hospitals and substance abuse treatment centers within the jail along with vocational rehabilitation because the number one reason of recidivism is the inability to earn money after discharging from an institution whether it be a state mental hospital, state penitentiary, or even long-term substance treatment which can last up to a year. There are none of these things because recidivism means repeat customers if prisons are profitable so it is in their best interest to send people who have been incarcerated back out into the world unequipped to live within the social contract, which is something they are known not to be able to do. If people come out with more self-worth than when they went in then they will be more likely to live healthier lives when discharging back into the community to be our neighbors.

I know you don't think criminals are coming out in wide numbers voting for democrats, but some retarded fucks here do and I'm mainly addressing them as to why prison reform is just rational best interest to all of us and not a liberal issue. One person to look to for a role model in this is Nathan Deal, the Governor of Georgia, who has people working for him in government who were incarcerated in the past and doing great now.

Bless your heart.

More people die falling off ladders than in mass shootings — by a lot
