UnFair



Count the day lost you don't learn something new.

The dude pictured above, Philip Arnold Paul, is a criminally insane murderer supposedly locked away in a mental hospital.

I didn't know that Eastern State Hospital in Spokane, Washington takes their patients on trips to county fairs. Phil got to go on such an outing last Thursday along with thirty others. Well, guess what? He escaped.

Now police are looking all over the state for him, hoping they nab him before he murders someone else.

From the AP:

Paul is a white male, 5-foot-8, 220 pounds, with brownish-gray hair, blue eyes, and a goatee. At the time of his escape, Paul was wearing a red windbreaker jacket, with a T-shirt and jeans.

The sheriff's office said Paul's medication should keep him stable for 14 days, not 48 hours as previously reported.

His brother said Paul was a high school and junior college wrestler and a martial artist who should not be approached.

Anyone who thinks taking mentally ill patients to State Fairs is a bad idea, raise your hand. Anyone who thinks losing them when you're there is also a bad idea, raise your other hand.
