You took a violent killer to the fair? Are you insane?

A legally insane killer was on the loose in the state of Washington on Saturday, two days after he escaped during a field trip to a county fair, authorities said.

Why the hell are you taking insane killers to the fair?

Oh but it gets better. See this wasn't the only recent escape.

See that isn't even the best part. It gets even better!

"The first time I took one look at him -- and I've never done this before or since -- I asked the jailer to remain in the room while I examined him.

So they let a confirmed paranoid schizophrenic go out of the mental intuition to go to the county fair. YOU FOOLS!

This place has to be worse than Arkham Asylum. As far as I know they never took the Joker on field trips.

This just seriously boggles my mind. Is it common to take mentally ill murderers on field trips?

Well to be fair, the guy is supposed to be awesome at the ring toss and his handlers really wanted some goldfish and a new REO Speedwagon coke mirror.

It's especially troubling that the people who actually worked with him in the facility didn't think he should go and administration trumped them, apparently not for the first time. Floor staff know better than administrators whether somebody's a flight risk or a danger.

Administrative errors are slightly forgivable in a large organisation like the prison service, but errors of judgement like this there are no excuses for. If these people want to reacquaint dangerous prisoners with the outside world, take them to your own fucking house, or an upcoming family wedding!

Typical bureaucracy. The people who actually have a clue are never the ones making the decisions. It's annoying when that sort of thing happens in an office building. It's a bit terrifying when it happens involving psycho killers on the loose.

Well, if they aren't still considered a danger, I would think possibly yes? It doesn't surprise me that folks in the crazy house would get to occasionally go out on a field trip. If someone had killed someone in the past in the grip of a psychosis that was well-controlled by drugs I would expect them to be allowed to go on field trips. Obviously they never should have let this particular guy go on the trip, but I wouldn't say that's a general rule.

I wish they'd put me in charge of the prison systems. I'd be good at it.

Wait, what? He's escaped BEFORE? And they let him go to a county fair with criminally lax supervision?

Well that's it. No more State Fairs for him and if he doesn't behave, the circus is out too.

I'd let him go to the circus - he might kill some clowns!

The only good clown, is a dead one! :Shake:
