Rosie Lander was living in a tent in Red Bluff when she was stabbed 41 times on August 9. Chuslum Buckskin, 18, was arrested by police and is the primary suspect in the attack. A 14-year-old was also arrested as an accomplice, according to police in Red Bluff.
Newsom, Steinberg, Eggman, and Insel with their Care Courts and trying to tar the homeless with "Mental Illness" are making this worse.
How would you feel if government started forming special committees on original sin? Well they aren't calling it that, but the California State Assembly has the Select Committee on Orange County Homelessness and Mental Health Services. The unhoused are today's new scapegoat, and we brand them so with the allegation of mental illness.
If we want to do something about homelessness we can't have internment camps. We need a Strong Public Housing Offering with no needs test and Universal Basic Income. Most everyone will want this. The main group which opposes it is of course the real estate industry. We can't try to further stigmatize the unhoused with internment and mental health. The main group which supports "Mental Health" is the people who have done it to a family member.
If we want to intercede and do something about the personal factors which increase the likelihood of homelessness, we have to do this before anyone finds themselves in the situation Darrell Steinberg's 13yo daughter found herself in, or before anyone finds themselves in the situation Susan Eggman's Aunt Barbara found herself in. We have to interdict the family scapegoating before it truncates one's life options.
Gavin is an idiot. Either he resigns shortly after the November election, or he gets recalled. Darrell Steinberg put his 13yo daughter into psychiatric internment. So he has made the idea of mental illness the cornerstone of his political career. Susan Eggman's family tared Susan's aunt Barbara with "Mental Illness", and Susan has spent her entire adult life persecuting family scapegoats, via "Mental Illness" and euthanasia, and having worked in a psychiatric clinic. Thomas Insel is just a monster.
When Darrell Steinberg's 13yo daughter had her first contact with the mental health system, that should have triggered a Child Protective Services investigation. Of what they might have found we can only guess. But it was highly likely that this was part of an ongoing family conflict. The girl should not have been branded with "Mental Illness" or subjected to any kind of treatment. There needed to have been intervention so that her life prospects were still being protected. And she should not be condemned today to believing the fallacy that she has a bad brain. The real truth of what happened is something far more serious.
With Susan Eggman's aunt Barbara we do not know how old Barbara was when the family decided to brand her. But very likely the family should have been held accountable and Barbara made whole and she set up with a path for continuing her education and building a career without having to endure further contact with the family.
Thomas Insel is an Evil Overlord wanna be.
SB-679 is the most important piece of legislation passed this term. And what's more, Republicans voted against it.
When Care Courts was in the House Appropriations Committee, Republicans opted not to vote. So if they hold to this in the final vote, when massive resistance at every level shows it to be unenforceable, ineffective, and unconstitutional, they will come out looking squeaky clean.
Care Courts SB-1338 must fail!
