Thanks Vin for clearing that up

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Zeb - I thought it was still a Humana (whatever name they've changed to) hospital. Looks like not. I hope the lady gets the help she needs. Sure a funny way to call for help, though.

I didn't say she was a sniper...I said POSSIBLE...mostly trying to have an attention-grabbing title, to get people to read it and reply with more facts.

So if I walk into a hospital with a rifle but don't intend to shoot anyone, that's ok? This nutjob has waved a gun in people's faces more than once, she has been a danger to herself and to others more than once, and the more times she does something like this with no consequences, the more dangerous she becomes. Next time (and there will be a next time, given this woman's history) someone might be killed...intentional or not.

Looks like the person I was replying to deleted his post...it really did make sense when I posted it! lol

The first thing I see that is an issue in DC is that the last time I was there - ya'll didn't have a mental health deputy that could interviene with folks that are "off meds" and "misbehaving" The person literally has to break the law to get into the penal system to recieve the help they need often times. If theyy are not a danger to themselves or someone else they serve time and go back on the street without intervention at all. This lady it sounds like had been in Larned. Not the best mental health facility of all time but will do in a pinch. Most mental facilities keep you till your insurance quits paying (bout 2 weeks) then boots you out the door and bam - you are once again doing the dance with the cops cause your meds are screwed up and you aint right and there is no help. Vicious circle. I think if she was trying to hand over the gun to security at the hosp or to the ER staff - as a nurse that tells me she was seeking help the only way she knew how. Sounds like she's done this waltz numerous times. It's sad what ya have to do to acess mental health in this country.

Glad there wasn't a Federal Air Marshall there, she might not be alive today.

FAMs are simply 'shootists' and nothing more.
