We've talked to the state licensing people.

You know instead of fixing shit and hiring decent people. And that they've rarely been able to do anything because of that (plus mental health in Texas is funded more like an after thought).

Fuck man, I hope that blows over for you. I think human services everywhere, whenever it actually receives funding, is an afterthought. As opposed to thinking preventatively, which may actually curb problems that become social issues and catch costs early before they increase exponentially. Apparently governments have a problem with that.
WWPD?

Yeah if they just spent the money on fixing the program and hiring decent knowledgeable people they wouldn't have to spend so much on lawyers. It's nice to know someone else knows the struggle and sorry you have to deal with it too.

Damn, didn't know this happened until now. Terrible, terrible. Not too far away either.
I know there is a member around here that is from (dr. noize I think? only person I have met in person from here). Hope his family and friends are ok. Hope they catch all of these scumbags.

Yeah I can't ever figure out if the people who say 'thug' doesn't have a racial connotation to it are just bullshitting themselves or if they're actually that fucking stupid.
Like, yes, I'm aware of the word's origin. But it's similar to verbalizing that someone gave you Ayds in 2015 and then being offended/shocked that the other person didn't think you were talking about the candy from way back when.
yeah the whole 'but the ACTUAL ORIGINAL meaning of the word is' thing is often disingenuous horseshit from smug arseholes who think they're smarter than the sheeple. The verbal equivalent of standing with your finger a centimetre from someone's face going 'IM NOT TOUCHING YOU IM NOT TOUCHING YOU'.
Meaning isn't set in stone, it's imposed by culture man.

But if good guys with guns were there, it never would have happened..............
Ugh, this. Living in Texas, I deal with this utter horseshit mentality all the time. Our lovely new law that allows concealed weapons to be carried in public universities makes me feel super awesome as an adjunct professor.
