You know Mathijs. I hate to say it...but you're right. Just a little...
But HE IS getting treatment. He has for years. He wasn't just thrown in San Quentin
and forgotten. Right now I believe he's in Atascadero State Hospital. Although Gordon's tale is tragic, keep in mind the crime: He didn't just steal an apple from a fruit stand or write a bad check.
I understand from the three or four articles I have read that he was treated for a brief period of time with medicine to subdue his illnesses, and spend his time in prison until the early 2000's. He then was transfered to a closed medical institution as he was wealthy enough to pay for it himself.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to "Free Jim Gordon"?
It's a tragic story indeed, but the fact is he brutally and savagely murdered his own mother.
Because he is not a criminal, but a patient. And in civilized countries you don't put patients in jails but you give them treatment for their illness.
Mathijs
So you are saying that the USA is not civilized?
