That is the amount of people we will have to disenfranchise when this is over. Probably just limit their rights to vote or enter in to a contract. Make sure they have no authority over anyone, especially a minor. The enemy of peace and stability has exposed themselves in the US and we have to render them harmless.

These are clearly people with untreated traumatic head injuries. It would make sense to provide these people with better healthcare and reintroduce them into society when they can understand words or communicate that they don't understand words.

Where in the world do you arrive at head injury? These people lack empathy and any moral compass. They are of low intellgence. The are just mean and they spread hate and pain with anyone they contact. They create chaos and sow discord.

One of the main side effects of head injuries is uncontrolled anger.

That's the problem with democracy. If you truly believe in democracy, then everyone's voices need to be heard.

Punishment won't work. We need to systematically change education to make any lasting difference.

Nope there have always been people who didn't get to vote or participate. I'm just proposing we do that to the ones who are the problem.

No. Not every voice needs to be heard. In a democracy, every voice should have the same opportunity to be heard. By saying every voice needs to be heard, you are saying everyone should listen to the fucknuts and assholes.

No.
