Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!

[RECHRGD]

Here in wacko Washington state, I've become used to a lot of stupid policies that our fearless leaders put in place, but this takes the cake.  Our local state hospital (for the criminally insane and other wak jobs) takes fields trips from time to time with inmates that have been behaving themselves for a while.  A couple of days ago, they decided it would be nice to take about 15 or so inmates to the Spokane County Fair.  It seems no distinction is made between violent or criminally prone inmates and the seemingly benign types.  They didn't ask permission.  They didn't notify the police.  They were out numbered by the inmates.  The inmates wore regular clothing, so they would not be singled out.  They were each given $50.00 of taxpayer money to spend as they wished.  What a surprise when one of them ends up missing!  He's in the hospital because he brutally stabbed a woman to death some years ago and was found to be criminally insane.  They waited two hours before even notifying the police.  But, they said that "he's really not a danger to anyone", at least until his medication wears off!  Meanwhile, this guy is walking around the fair filled with our kids, wives and moms.  God knows where his is now, but members of his family have all left their homes in fear of him showing up.  The officials have temporarily suspended any further field trips and the Governor is going to "review" the policy.  It seems to me that the people that dream these programs up should be checking themselves into the same facility!   Bob

Where does one start with the wisecracks? and the shock?  

At least for once it's not California setting the pace in the dumb ass parade.

totally astonished and shocked...just goes to show, doesnt matter if you got Dr., Rn., or a MS in front or behind your name.  If you are a dumbass, you are a dumbass.

ya I heard that. WA is politically F'd up state but other than that I've met some good people here, scenery is nice and we have 4 seasons. I'm sure other states have their own f((( ups also, just look at California, some nazi is in charge of running the state. That show that if you have money & popularity (his movies aren't that great) that you can become a politician.

Thats all its ever been about.  The candidate that "raises the most money" usually wins in the elections as well.

That's an amazing policy. 

It's probably good for the inmates to get out into the world once in a while, but that story portrays a pretty idiotic lack of authority oversight on the process.

[bull]

Govt. officials are much smarter and tolerant that the rest of us. Most people would have hung this guy from the nearest tree but that's not politically correct anymore so now we have to do the opposite and let them out into the public so they can kill us instead. See? Isn't that a smarter approach?

I just hope that he packed a road map to DC.

[RECHRGD]

Well, they caught the guy and he's back in the hospital.  Evidently he had petitioned for release two weeks before the "field trip" and a judge had found him to be a "danger to society" and they still let him out in public.  When he went on the trip to the fair he had packed up all his clothes and stuff in a duffel bag and nobody bothered to check.  Also found out that in the past, he has been let out on "conditional release".  During one of those releases he fathered a child.  People are outraged and calling for all the people involved in this to be fired.  Bob

Thanks for the update. It was big enough to reach us on tv here in Ct. They should be fired.

[chargergirl]

The entire staff that had anything to do with that decision should be fired and blacklisted. Too bad he didn't meet up with the 91 year old guy in south Florida. Dog was growling, he told the dog shhh we sleep in on Saturdays. Dog kept growling, so nekked and armed, he went outside to find a guy breaking in to his house and fired a warning shot. Made the guy sit down and held him at gun point till the cops showed up. WWII vet and one VERY COOL dude.

They were each given $50.00 of taxpayer money to spend as they wished. 

Do not fear. I think this is part of the economic stimulus program.

 I'm just glad they caught the SOB. I didn't see that in the news, how they do that? Prolly just luck I'll bet.
Did you see where HIS OWN FAMILY fled their homes and into hiding to get away from him because HIS OWN FAMILY feared for their lives. Makes me wonder,, what other type of homicidal lunatics were on this lovely little romp through the carnival right next to our wives and children that we'll NEVER know about because they didn't HAPPEN TO WALK OFF AND ESCAPE!!   fire everyone involved in this little field trip
And be VERY thankful no one was killed. WTF.
no cheers.

[Silver R/T]

Firing everyone wouldn't help much, they will just get unemployment and live happily ever after. These "officials" need to be prosecuted.
I say lock them up with the same guy for a week ...or two

[squeakfinder]

Looks like he got a haircut since his last mug shot........

He sure looks happy, he had a nice little vacation.

May I suggest death by hanging or firing squad? Just Execute the bastard and get it over with!! QUIT WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS!!

Its funny I was watching that show "The Lock Up" or whatever its called and this dude was up for execution within the year and since he got his death sentence before a certain year death by firing squad was still an option instead of lethal injection.  It was "grandfathered" if you will to be a choice of whichever he pleases so he chose death by firing squad and he said he actually plans on enjoying it  I think its just him scheming though because he knows they'll never do it, the public uproar would be crazy, convict or not.

[Charger440RDN]

If I remember right, I believe that all of the guns except one have blanks and nobody knows who has the live round. That way no one knows who fired the fatal shot

[sixty8charger]

hmmm..  interesting way.

I say, allow the military to do the firing squads. Take the bastards to the rifle range. Line them up. hell let them move around.. it would be funner!

More realistic training would be very beneficial. We train for it all the time, but unfortunately some don't always get the opportunity.
Its Justified, good training.
