A Killer on the Loose

So yesterday a group from the Eastern State Hospital in Washington state go to the county fair. By a group I mean a bunch of inmates. One of this group was Phillip Paul, incarcerated for life for a murder committed in 1987. He killed an elderly woman because the voices in his head told him she was a witch. He doused her body in gasoline and buried her in her garden. He thought it would throw off the dogs. In 1991 he tries to escape and knocks out a deputy and dislocates the man's shoulder in the process. Sounds pretty sane to me.

So here he is at the fair with a bunch of fellow inmates and he quietly slips away form the group and disappears into the night. So now we have a pshyco killer running around without his meds. I have said it before and here we go again, what the hell were they thinking? Who in their right minds (sorry about that) thought this was a good idea?

The people that were supposedly watching this group should all be fired. Immediately. If anyone is hurt by this murderous thug, then the admin at the hospital as well as the now recently fired folks (hopefully) should be held criminally and civilly responsible.

Authorities believe that this kook is headed for his parents home in Sunnyside, Wa. I'm not so sure he is. He has got to think that the police will be looking for him there. I believe he will try to hide somewhere else.

If this wacko actually needs medication to keep himself in line, then he is more dangerous now than ever. Without his meds Paul's ever so slight hold on sanity will surely slip away before he knows it. The people in Washington are in grave danger.

I hope the police find this guy before he goes completely over the edge. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest of he put up a fight and there by becomes a fading memory. I know that sounds harsh, but what good comes from a solution of Paul just going back to the hospital? Absolutely none if you ask me. Did you? You must have, you've read this far.

So once again the barn door has been closed after the horse has left. The state has suspended all outings for hospital patients or inmates. Well, duh. They never should have been allowed out in the first place. To me that's a no brainer. If the mental health pros think that to assimilate people back into society, they need to be turned loose into society, then they are the ones that need to be locked up.

Just look at the Department of Corrections for if you think I'm out of line. The folks that are released to halfway houses that supposedly have control of their faculties are doing things that get them sent back to prison all the time. Imagine what a lunatic without his meds is capable of.

I hate to think of the possibilities.
