Misguided Public Policy Kills Again

Due to continued corruption of the criminal justice system one more innocent woman was murdered by a prison inmate designated mentally ill. It is unlikely that the psychiatric industry and the drug companies will be prevented from making all prisoners into chemically dependent mental patients. That misguided public policy is good for business. It brings campaign contributions from psychiatrists and drug company lobbyists. It also places vulnerable workers in danger. This tragedy reveals another abuse of the criminal justice system. The accused man's lawyer says, "There’s no indication from what I could see that would lead me to believe he could be capable of this." Oh? This lawyer is either being deceptive or is clueless about the drug caused violence promoted by the psychiatric industry, as it gets control of the criminal justice system. Psychiatric drugs cause violence. Even the drug-industry-controlled FDA admits that. Under proper circumstances anyone is capable of doing what the defendant did. It is part of human nature. Rather than teach people about their own nature the drug industry promotes more drug induced violence. That taxpayer funded policy causes worse problems.
More basic, as the mother of the murdered woman points out, why was there no security at this prison-mental hospital?

[From article]
"'He’s been diagnosed as a schizophrenic, and he suffers from brain injuries,' said Dr. Naomi Leavitt, a court psychiatrist. 'He was beaten with a baseball bat and pistol whipped as a young boy and he’s had exposure to lead poisoning.'
Leavitt also said Chappell hadn’t taken his psychiatric medication in months.

Of the horrific charges, Karp said: 'There’s no indication from what I could see that would lead me to believe he could be capable of this.'”
