Back to Aurora

Good day.

Back again to my theme, about Aurora.

My latest take on the story is that the psychiatrist told the U. of Colorado of her "alarm" over Mr Holmes's ideations....

So out of her hands...I think the U. of Colorado called the cops.  Not sure.  If they did, they could say, "It's out of our hands."

If they did not call the police, they could have been waiting to see what might happen.

What might have happened, happened.

Either way, there are some links of humane treatment missing along the line. Human and humane involvement.  "We were respecting his right to privacy." is one answer.  What could be done at this point?

"Mr. Holmes, we respect your right to privacy. However, the civil code dictates that you are to be accompanied every moment for an indefinite period of time, in order that we can make sure you don't injure self or others.   Perhaps, sir, you have some interesting plans or papers to share with us?  We'll make this as private as possible."

What would that entail?  Money, for sure.  Taking responsibility. Caring.

How many of my readers have seen those commercials for one or the other mind-altering pharmaceutical, where the gal is dancing around to beautiful music, while the flowers and butterflies float around her?  Happy stuff.  While the voice in the background tells us in no uncertain terms that this preparation may cause serious depression, thoughts of suicide, even perhaps homicide...but who listens to that?? 

I think the doctor who prescribes any of the medications on a certain list ( long and popular list nowadays) ...that doctor should be held responsible for the consequences.  Responsible.  Oh no!! How could he/she?  Not his fault.  This is an independent adult that's being treated.

That sort of consequence would require some alterations in the medical code and the penal code.  Right now, they can give the medication and never look twice.  They can.  Not all do.  I am sure many are keeping as careful an eye as they can, while simultaneously shaking in their boots.

Nobody reads my blog, but if there is anybody out there who agrees with what I say, I'd appreciate an answer. Or even if they disagree: I would not mind a better idea.  Mr Holmes deserved more than to go around murdering people.  So did the young man of Tucson, and countless others who have killed either themselves or other people.  The world deserves better than this.  It's gotta stop.  YAZZYBEL
