For that one example of abuse, there are a thousand cases where a mentally ill person didn’t assault someone on the street or break into their vehicle. I’m all for preventing abuse but there must be a way for asylums to exist with high bars for entry and stringent regulation to keep the abuse at bay. The current situation in untenable- 50 seriously mentally ill people can ruin entire cities for the millions that live in them.
- coffeebeqn 3y agoThat’s just the tip of the iceberg. I do still have empathy for the people themselves too. It is certainly not fun to have serious un/poorly treated mental illness and being thrown on the streets to fend for yourself. Most aren’t attacking people, they’re just suffering in their own hell. Being in a controlled environment where they’ll have to take appropriate medication and treatment would be much better for themselves
