Gang Stalking

I received a call this morning from someone who had seen my Connecticut Law Review article about mental illness and mass murder.  She explained that "gang stalking" is an insufficiently examined part of the problem.  For five years, she explained that a large group of people have been following her around in cars, trying to become friends, and showing that they know things about her that they could only know if they were part of the conspiracy.  Of course, she has been told she is mentally ill, but knows this isn't the case.  Stasi, Cointelpro, citizens police academies, FBI, Obama all get folded in.

Only slightly surprising is the number of websites devoted to this subject.  Paranoia does not prevent creating Web sites.

NPR Adfmitting Mental Health May Be An Issue in School Shootings

From Oct. 25, 2015 NPR:

We could start this story as we usually do with reminding of you of all the recent school shootings — including one just Thursday night at Tennessee State University — reporting how many people were killed, what inspired the shooter. We could hear local leaders condemning the acts of violence....

Every guidance counselor has a story like this. But what are teachers and administrators supposed to do if the situation escalates, or if the nagging worries about one student just don't go away?

That's what Greenberg focuses on now as the manager of a $500,000 grant given to Berkeley County Schools in West Virginia, where she works as a Project Aware coordinator. The money funds programs designed to increase awareness of mental health issues. Part of that means training people to recognize when someone could be a potential threat to themselves or others.

If We Can Ignore the Second Amendment "For the Children"

Can we ignore the First Amendment as well and ban Satan worship?  From Oct. 20, 2015 LehighValleyFive:

The alleged gunman in a shooting spree that left three people dead in the Lehigh Valley told investigators a voice told him not to be so "picky" with his victims, a detective testified Tuesday.

"The voice was telling (Todd West), 'Just eat, eat, stop being so picky,'" Allentown police Detective John Brixius III testified.

When West was asked if police had the getaway car used in his crime wave, West told them he knew police had the car, "because he told him, referring to the devil," Brixius said.

The detective's account is one of an estimated 15 witnesses who are expected at a preliminary hearing, which started Tuesday afternoon and is continuing into the evening.

West, 23, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, is charged with seven killings in all -- three in the Lehigh Valley and four before that in New Jersey. Authorities have agreed to try him in the Pennsylvania cases first.

Okay, maybe a ban on Satanism would not be completely effective, but shouldn't we at least try?  Obviously, when you start hearing voices, schizophrenia is more likely than Satan.
