Personally I think Fox News is trying to connect Ortega-Hernandez to the OWS protesters as a pre-emptive strike in case it turns out he got his ideas about the President from watching their programs.If you have a strong constitution and want to learn more about Ortega-Hernandex, you can click here to watch his entire video and learn more details about him.
This guy is delusional at best; paranoid schizophrenic at worst.

ReplyDeleteSomething Palin neglected to do, but Romney seems to have been able to get away with:

It's no coincidence I look like Jesus, Hernandez says. Yeah, a real Christ-lovin, 2nd Amendment American right here.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are Sarah Palin boot-lickers out there that do think he may be the modern day Jesus. And Sarah's angry because Todd doesn't look enough like Jesus to capitalize on it. I mean, look at all the press Oscar is getting.
It looked to me like a Fox Viewer trying to take our country back. . .what's their problem?
ReplyDeleteHe's suffering psychosis.
ReplyDeleteTo me the lesson in all of this is that we have too many guns available in this country, legally and illegally.
We also continue to be woefully under-informed about mental illness. Someone can present themselves (not this guy, in this video) as fairly "normal", and yet still be obsessively delusional inside their heads; completely out of touch with reality.
I suppose some gun dealers are so interested in selling their wares they don't care, but this fellow had to have seemed a bit off when he bought his gun. He may have passed a background check, but honestly can't there be some sort of screening or something, about mental stability? Maybe he had a stolen gun, a black market weapon, when obviously such things would be nonexistent.
I agree, Gryphen, that the hate-filled rhetoric of Sarah Palin and her ilk is just that much more dangerous in the mind of someone like this.
Believing oneself to be Jesus is classic textbook mental illness. There had to be people who knew he believed this. He needed to be given medical care and close supervision, perhaps then he couldn't have gotten into a car with his guns to go kill the President.
How many times do we have to hear these stories before we start being more proactive in these cases? (Jared Loughner, clear example.)
It's hilarious to see how desperate Faux is. And they should be.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think they're failing to realize is that OWS could fold up their tents and go home tomorrow. They've already done their job; they've philosophically unified those of us who have long believed corruption in government AND business is what is destroying the country.
There are many, MANY Americans who understand what OWS is about and relate to it despite not being hipsters, having painted faces or an interest in drum circles.
And by showing the rest of us how they're being treated by authority, the establishment and the media, we're able to clearly see just how far off the rails into authoritarianism this country has gone.
2012 is going to be interesting...
It appears that many people were well aware of this man's mental illness and obsession with the President. If so, why didn't they report it?
ReplyDeleteThank You, Gryphen and Rachael. I posted this in a previous thread, but didn't know Fox and Friends had the balls to connect him with ows.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how the right always takes a cue from Bush, it's the "evildoers vs. us good guys" meme. They disgust me.

Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to get intervention in this country for someone who is obviously psychotic??? It's almost impossible if the person doesn't believe/understand he has a mental illness. There are laws that forbid you to force treatment on anyone. A person has to be openly violent towards himself or someone else in order to be forced into treatment and even then sometimes it can't be done. There are people who did know this guy was delusional and psychotic. Not much they could have done about it if he didn't want them to. If you are delusional enough to believe you are the second coming of Christ, you are not going to believe there is anything wrong with you.
