Two Congressional staffers attacked with baseball bat

More craziness... at least this guy didn't use a gun. According to the BBC:

a man with the same name as the suspect last year filed a handwritten lawsuit against the CIA, seeking $29m (£23m) for "brutally torturing" him "from the fourth dimension".

I can see it coming; the Houses of Congress and all looking more like armed fortresses than "the People's Houses."

I think we're half-way there already.

From the article: In a statement posted to Twitter, Mr Connolly, who has served in the House since 2009, said that an individual had entered a district office in Virginia on Monday morning "and asked for me before committing an act of violence against two members of my staff."

So it happened in a district office and not the Capitol. It seems the suspect has or had a problem with the CIA before and it sounds like mental illness might be involved again. Maybe he will be taken off the streets this time.

I noticed his picture on the news. Clearly no rational person is home. They reported his dad said he didn't take his meds for 3 months. Sounds like he should have been inpatient at the time.
