A mental health crisis team chose not to involuntarily commit Thousand Oaks gunman Ian David Long for mental health evaluation and treatment in April of this year.
CBS News reports the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office had numerous encounters with former Marine Ian David Long before he opened fire inside the Borderline Bar & Grill Wednesday night. Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said they went to Long’s residence in April in response to a disturbance call. The Los Angeles Times reports that who went to Long’s house in April noted he was “irate and acting irrationally.”
A “mental health crisis team was called at that time and concluded that Long did not need to be taken into custody.” The mental health team had the option to issue an order to have Long “held for up to 72 hours” if they recognized him as a threat to himself or others.
Breitbart News reported that Long killed 12 innocents Wednesday night, including Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Helus. He used a legally owned .45 caliber Glock handgun to carry out his attack.

Bad choice, but the system is overwhelmed with people with even more irrational speech and behavior, especially in California.
ReplyDeleteFurther proof, we don't have a gun problem; we have a mental health crisis
ReplyDeleteDemocrats would rather elimate guns than treat people for the nuts they are. We cant instutionalize anyone anymore becasue its not fair. Some people need to be locked up - simple as that. We cannot catch them all, but aurthorities usually know the people in the community that are problems. The school administrations know exactly which kids are and will continue to be problems. Even if we take their guns they will find other ways to kill. They need to be removed from society! Go ahead and hate, but I am right.
ReplyDeleteWhat caravan did he enter the US with again? The deadliest mass shooters are homegrown WHITE terrorists.

DeleteThey are the ones responsible for this tragedy. They should have committed him by Federal Law. Liberals will never follow the law concerning mental health. Blame the Liberal Socialist Democrats. Not guns.
