And here we see the bosses jumping in to take advantage of the murders. Here's the "medicalization" that Richard Seymour mistakenly sees in some of the arguments about Loughner's mental illness, only it's a capitalist medicalization that will not cost anything, certainly not anything for treatment: lock'm'up, and lock up the people who fail to rat them out, and expand the penal state: "What Galston is doing here is what the American political class reflexively does in the wake of every tragedy: it immediately seeks to exploit the resulting trauma and emotion to justify all-new restrictions on basic liberties (such as the right not to be locked away against one's will in the absence of a crime or a serious threat to others) and all- new government powers." Nothing about therapy (too expensive for the bosses), of course, and noting about gun control (would interrupt the buying and selling of congressional representation).
