I agree with Sarah, how did this happen? Although I'm sure there are legal justifications the department can use, if a person goes into your facility twice in one day asking for help, then goes and lights fires and breaks windows with hammers in a public place pleading for help, how is he not automatically taken to a psych ward?
Now, I disagree with the politically charged statement she makes for her own personal gain about how this is an example of how "the state stands in the way of efforts to keep the mentally ill out of jail" because she is saying that the state keeps the state from getting help from the state, and that makes little sense the more you think about it, but it does make sense if you think about her trying to further her own political career.
Oof what a mess from everyone involved.
Outing Isaiah Hines in this article and highlighting Maier's relationship with someone fresh out of high school in general were both a tad awkward...
"Guess it's true what they say.. Come to Vermont, kill someone claim to be insane and walk away free...."
Okay Donna who the hell is saying that? (Although it does feel that way with what George did...who the hell is saying it?)
I don't know if this is more embarrassing, or just awkward for Sarah. Wonder what will happen with the other two...
I don't know if anyone knew this, but approximately 53% of the air that our good old Bernard Sanders has been breathing this electric cycle is from states OTHER than Vermont! And, when he's traveling around the country and not in his home state, only 6% of the food he eats is labeled "Made in Vermont"!
See how irrelevant that sounds (kind of like the information in this article)? Especially when there are zero voters here, and the ones that are here, would vote for him? No duh his campaign is going to focus elsewhere; I'd think he's an idiot if it wasn't.
Thirsty for an interview? Sounds like this article and the more to come mean there is still a 0% chance of any of the interviews Bernie does with local papers being done with Paul Heintz at 7Days.
Also, the highlighting his spending at Blue Cross Blue Shield, without mentioning it's likely for healthcare for his employees, seems to be trying to mislead readers into thinking he's spending money to court an industry he's constantly railing against. Low blow, imo.
I love that the F-35s can be brought up on ANY topic with relative ease by Vermonters.
Gas prices high? Well, they'll be higher once the F-35s are here using all the gas.
Bears in South Burlington? Yeah, probably driven out of the woods by those loud F-35s!
Baby left in hot car in the Price Chopper parking lot? It probably would have been saved sooner, if anyone could have heard it's screams over the F-35s!
Running out of beds in the state hospitals for mentally unstable people? Well if we weren't spending all this state money housing those F-35s!
God, find a new soap box why don't you?
Re: “Sanders Planning Super Tuesday Rally in Vermont”
Yeah Jimmy, inquiring minds will definitely wanna know, considering the rally is taking place in ESSEX so it'd be really weird if they charged Bernie anything for the extra policing...
