I am wondering whether anyone is trying to figure out what is going on in the US, hopefully without applying a bias up front before they start.
Some of these may be mental health related. This appears to be the case in today’s arrest. Some seem to be politically motivated. There might be an overlap between these two motivations in some cases. I have seen some stories about known terrorists being arrested who had been living in the US illegally.
To be fair however back when I lived in California, back in the 1970’s, I heard stories of people who were in the US illegally (most of whom were working a job and trying to make a living).
I remember back in the 1980’s when they were shutting down mental hospitals. I asked where the patients were going to go. The answers I got at the time did not make any sense to me.
It does seem like this sort of thing is way, way too common.
