They thought they were going to rehab. They ended up in chicken plants
Our society has infinite ways of taking disadvantage of vulnerable folks.

So does this mean we are going to see more funding for mental health?
So I've heard Trump say twice in the last month- these are mental health problems - regarding the Vegas shooter and yesterday's shooter. So does that mean he's willing to increase funding for mental health? I'm a mental health nurse and we sure could use the extra money. Just wondering.
By the way, I don't know if any of these men had mental health issues. From my experience, People with mental health issues are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators. I'll take the money though if he's willing to increase funding for mental health.
