In a resilient attempt to vaporize the hopes of anyone who have even a modicum of respect for sanity, the Swedish government has decided to try and help the lost and lonely refugees better acquaint themselves to Scandinavian lifestyles by giving them a full on taxpayer funded arms training course. Just in case you had any questions as to what the level of depravity and insanity is when it comes to those who wield the power of the state. Here you go. http://www.allehanda.se/angermanland/solleftea/laddade-for-prickskytte http://newobserveronline.com/sweden-state-funded-muslim-sniper-training/

Louis immerses himself in the world of Ohio's state psychiatric hospitals, meeting patients who have committed crimes - at times horrifically violent - while in the grip of severe mental illness. They have been found not guilty by reason of insanity and ordered by the courts to secure psychiatric facilities to receive the treatment that it is hoped will, one day, lead to their reintegration back into society. In the second episode of this two-part series, Louis spends time with patients whose personalities are so intertwined with their illness that it makes them more difficult to treat. In doing so, he examines the grey area between criminal actions and medical symptoms, and investigates how we define insanity.

http://www.alluc.com/l/Louis-Theroux-By-Reason-Of-Insanity-S01E01-x264-C4TV/zbbeu7d3 Highly recommend this as it is interesting and insightful as Theroux's documentaries usually are plus it deals with mental illness. Of course there is the general idea of heavy medication that is put forward as a cure for their "illness" and pain of childhood trauma is sadly and expectedly left entirely undiscussed. As a specific example, there was a man who had killed his father, whom he believed had sexually abused him and Theroux or the psychiatrist don't seem even slightly interested whether the father had actually done it. Instead Theroux keeps asking the patient questions like "Do you/did you love your father". I'm sure he could never prove that his father raped him as he was thirtysomething when he killed him but I kept imagining some analogous situation where in a documentary the interviewer keeps implying to a rape victim who had killed their assailant that they should have instead loved their rapist. How sick would that be?
