Knock it off, Motts. If you give people the REAL reason it was done it won't be near as much fun and they can't slobber and wet themselves whining about all the cruelty, torture, and death in those gosh darned heck-holes. ;-)
Yeah, but you didn't kill and dismember all the people like they regularly did (and apparently still do) in institutional facilities; otherwise there would be little ghostly mists all the heck over the derned place.
Your head hurts because you are trying to put it between the wall and my head, my little dollink. Anyone looking for "escapades" isn't generally looking for reality at the same time. Especially not if they have to face up to the idea that if you aren't part of the solution you are generally part of the problem.
My wild guess is that this person ISN'T the one who volunteered while still in school to work with the kids who were in the special needs classes and yet is now throwing stones at the people who actually had to provide the services without the resources. Funny old world where we get to publicly attack others when our own hands might have a little blood on them, isn't it? ;-)
"but i know for a fact that . . . a patient did escape and killed other patients and doctors and would pile them up in the tower and i'm not sure but i think he had 30 - 40 bodies in that tower by the time he was caught"
Wowza! How incredibly cool is that! You sure it wasn't more like 80 or 90 bodies?
"Being inside was very nerve-wracking as workers and police were constantly moving in and around the building, knowing that every time I could hear them they could just as easily hear me inside was always on my mind."
If you really have the time and the interest I would be happy to tell you sometime, or at least steer you in the right direction for sources on why it happened. My guess is that you probably don't care enough to ask, however.
