Patch: Mental Health, Not Politics, Should Be Real Issue in Tuscon Shooting

Later today, I'm going to introduce you to the right-wing maniac who disrupted a Bethlehem City Council meeting a few weeks ago. He is now being likened to the Tucson shooter. He looks pretty scary, huh? Not Karen Dolan's type, to be sure.

He's packin', but instead of a gun, it's something far more dangerous.

The Constitution.

Instead of playing cheap politics over this tragedy, why not deal with the real problem - a broken mental health system? That's the subject of my latest Patch column.

Think I'm wrong? Tell me at Patch.
