Yeah, I’d like to see the stats on how many mentally ill or cognitively disabled people he unnecessarily had sent to prison.

  He hasn’t sent anybody to prison. He’s referred some requests to law enforcement, who’ve than taken whatever action they deem necessary. (Admittedly in some jurisdictions for some demographics, there might not be much distinction there.) If your angry 13 year old brother or cognitively impaired cousin that you didn’t get a PS5 for xmas emailed this guy, it’s spectacularly unlikely the cops would send him to prison.

    It is actually more likely the cognitively impaired would end up in prison. They people sux even more then usual at navigating criminal system. Same for kids. That being said, the " 13 year old brother or cognitively impaired cousin that you didn’t get a PS5 for" are an actual threat and those around them do need intervention. Not reporting them amounts to enabling.

      Right, the problem isn't the guy reporting the people, it's some of the stuff leading up to it and after it.

    I think it’s equally unlikely “nearly 150 lives have been saved as a direct result of the site and [his] actions”. I’m sure some subset of those cases were credible threats, but I’m confident there’s at least one person in jail who would have quickly given up if this very convenient site had not existed.

  If someone is trying to get people killed, it may be that they need help, but other people certainly need protection from them, which is meant to be part of the point of the prison system. Also, equating a desire to assassinate with being mentally ill or cognitively disabled is doing a disservice to the majority of mentally ill or cognitively disabled people who do know it's wrong to kill people. I doubt there's a clear correlation between desire to kill people and being mentally ill or cognitively disabled.

    That's not the equation. If you try to fulfill your desire to assassinate by clicking a payment option on rentahitman.com, you are failing to understand the likelihood this plan will be successful. This is absolutely a sign of being mentally ill or cognitively disabled.

      A mentally ill or cognitively disabled person is still able to operate a knife, blunt weapon, and if they can get one, a gun.
