Some might argue that MSM is "changing the narrative" and that's fair but it's also worth noting that amid economic decline and budget cuts across the nation . . . Resources allotted for the mental health of former soldiers are scant . . . Simply look at Kansas City streets and notice that a great deal of the homeless population are former members of the military. The link to PTSD is an uncomfortable fact but worth consideration.

ReplyDeleteIt works when ghe perp is White, why not here, 7:47?
DeleteWas he even in combat?
ReplyDeleteNo, 7:47--it's a real problem. Own your opinions. Sign your damn work.
ReplyDeleteWe are sending men (and a few women) into combat--against a sneaky stealth enemy they seldom see. So to condition them, their trainers must pump them up to make them feel invicible. It brings out NPD, Narcissist Personality Disorder. And then these "warriors" return home--but how do you subtract that serotonin addiction from their brains?
It's similar to the addiction to gambling. Every time a soldier takes a risk or gets into a little scrap or gets riled up--their brain compensates for the imbalance by spritzing their blood with a dose of dopamine and serotonin--an injection from their own system.
We are creating a nation of near-zombies. War is stupid. Counter-productive. It's a virus that we have brought home to our own shores.
And as the returning vet hero said Monday night, "You no longer have to go looking for war, around the world. Your war is right HERE."
Tracy Thomas
Shut yer hole, Tracy. There is NO EXCUSE that anyone can invent that will shift the blame off of that violent, racist, murdering psychopath.
DeleteTracy, you are going to start a war if you don't cover properly. you are offending Allah, put your burqa on, and be polite.
DeleteMany, many soldiers return from combat with PTSD. The overwhelming majority of them do not become psychopathic murderers. Again, in looking for a place to lay blame we risk stigmatizing a huge swath of the population that doesn't deserve it. This murderer chose his actions. Sometimes it really can be that simple.
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt that PTSD is a problem for vets, but what complicates the issues is that the U.S. has adopted a policy where a soldier doesn't get much of a break between combat tours. Never in our history have we taken soldiers and sent them to back to back action where a soldier can spend almost his whole enlistment in combat. I do not know how many civilians have spent their lives getting up every morning expecting to get thier ass shot up that day, but the stress takes an incredible toll on mental health over time that takes years to unscrew.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the Veterans Administration is the fucking absolute worst at dealing with the issue and most of the folks in behavioral health could give a rats ass. They are more interested in their next coffee break than helping or accepting veteran patients. We can also thank our legislators who are well aware of this issue and have done nothing to fix the problems.
With that said we are all responsible for our state of health and our behavior. There will never be an illness that can trump picking up a gun and killing police officers for shits and grins. It would be proper if these troubled veterans actually got the health benefits the VA keeps claiming they are providing and really don't. Until the American government can actually pay for their wars and the ramifications of engineering them perhaps it would be appropriate to stop sending troops into direct conflict for 30 months at a time and expecting anything less than the mess we have created by doing so. Few healthy humans can survive it long term.

PTSD doesn't make a wuss kill cops.
For American troops, PTSD is over-diagnosed and over-medicated. For comparison, British troops returning from assignments in the Mideast are diagnosed with PTSD at much lower rates than American troops returning from identical assignments. American troops surely are not more delicate than their British counterparts. More likely, widespread emphasis on PTSD and availability of lifetime disability benefits play a significant role in the disparity.
ReplyDeleteThe use of drugs such as Ativan to treat PTSD is very controversial. See, for instance:
http://psychcentral.com/news/2015/07/15/anxiety-drugs-not-recommended-for-ptsd/86884.html
Regardless, PTSD with or without Ativan does not send veterans into the streets with an uncontrollable urge to kill people. The media are increasingly desperate to assign some cause to the Baton Rouge murders that better fits their preferred narrative, and if they have to bend the truth to achieve that level of spin, no problem.
The problem you White people are having is that the shooter was black. Why can't racist be just that. Be honestly racist. Knowing you have a problem is the first step to correcting it. If this were a White guy, you'd in lockstep with the bandwagon... sick soldier theory.
ReplyDelete"Simply look at Kansas City streets and notice that a great deal of the homeless population are former members of the military." Or at least they claim to be (as would you, since it pays better). In reality, only about 10% of the homeless population in America are veterans.
ReplyDeleteI loved white people until I took a pill now I want to kill them
ReplyDeleteThe US military scam knows no limits and PTSD is the topping on the cake.
ReplyDeleteThey are all told that they are warriors and heroes and therefore having to study or retrain for some mundane civilian job is hard and unglamorous work.
So why do that when the alternative is a lifetime of disability benefits for PTSD?
In this case, PTSD =
ReplyDeletePermanent Terminally Stupid Disease
May you have an appointment with George Foreman (FRY DADDY)!!
PTSD, my ass.
ReplyDeleteFucking murdering, crazy nigger.
British troops do 8 months max in combat before rotation. Many American troops do 24 months or more. Huge difference.
ReplyDelete9:04 Have your served your country for fifteen minutes? You don't know what the fuck you are flapping your pie hole about and probably could not make it 15 minutes.

ELIMINATE THE EARNINGS TAX NOW, BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE LOST!!!!!
Bob, how do you know that only 10% of the homeless are veterans?
ReplyDeleteTracy is right!
11:04 - I looked it up (some time ago, but 10% is what I recall). Try it yourself, and see if you get a different answer from a reputable source.
ReplyDeleteBob, I was once a homeless vet, & I can tell you that its more like 25%. Many of them can't get any benefits because their PTSD damaged their military performance toward the end, leaving them with less than an honorable discharge.
ReplyDeleteThere are not authoritarian resources, the ones you are citing are guessing as well, but keep on hating, its the american way.
I don't think anyone here excuses the killing of a cop by a screwball and in this case we had a screwball.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is we had a veteran who should have been treated and properly diagnosed. If he had been he likely would not have been able to own a gun legally and/or he might not have been of a mind to be a damn fool.
The really scary part are the ass holes on this very blog who use this and other incidents to cheer on and encourage cop killing. You can bet your ass DHS has already contacted Google, gotten the logs and has identified these mouthy punk nutballs. You can also bet your ass they will be surveilled, on the no fly list, the Secret Service threat list and in a host of Federal intelligence and law enforcement databases within hours of posting their bullshit. Congrats dipshits your life just changed forever.

ReplyDeleteHistory of note:
GAVIN EUGENE LONG aka Cosmos Setepenra
So, for some reason, in January 2016, Gavin Long decides to take care of his multiyear delinquent Jackson County personal property tax on a year 2000 Hyundai. Not exactly the Mercedes coupe that he liked to feature in his YouTube videos.

12:24, if you hate everybody who disagrees with you, you will end up hating everybody. Having been a homeless vet does not automatically make you an authority on its prevalence. While I hate doing other peoples' research for them, I will make an exception in your case:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.endhomelessness.org/library/entry/fact-sheet-veteran-homelessness
I hate everybody whether they agree with me or not, but it is all their fault.
ReplyDeleteI can't ever remember me agreeing with Tracy Thomas as I think she is crazy. However she may be correct here. OOOO that hurt. I think that Gavin Long was a no good low life cop killer. He was also a chicken shit asshole who decided to get killed by cop so he wouldn't have to go on trial and get the needle that he deserved.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he saved taxpayers a ton of money and screwed the NAACP and ACLU out of free press and a long drawn out trial. But I wish he would have suffered like the police that he shot and the harm he did to their families.
i wish they would have blown him up like they did the Dallas guy
ReplyDeleteKAAAAAABOOOOOOOM!!!!! SPLAT !! OH UGGG HELP ME!!!
police- "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DIE MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!
CRRRUNCH SNNNAP GARGLE......SILENCE... boot to the head , for confirmation.

ReplyDeleteSo, 1:58, our cyber intel is busy and doing great work. Authorized security entities collect specified phrases and words for "reviews", as it should be. Even the words you keyed most likely "alerted" at intel agencies in MD, VA and wherever. Listing acts against police gets scrutiny. Of course, yours are classed as innocent discussion and no threat. Imagine the mega loads of data that warrants surveillance in these times.
ReplyDeleteGood News! This mans cure for PTSD was a success.
