Not necessarily - babies, people with altered/reduced mental capacity, etc... are all legal persons, but not generally held responsible for the legal consequences of their actions.
- throawry53 12y agoYes, but then again, babies, people with altered/reduced mental capacity, etc generally don't rip other people's faces off.
- andrewchambers 12y agoI think mentally ill people are among the most likely to rip someones face off.
- simonster 12y agoI don't think mentally ill people are especially likely to rip your face off, and by insinuating otherwise you are contributing to the stigma surrounding mental illness. See http://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org/about-us/reports-studies-backgrounders/2529 http://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org/about-us/reports-stud... for some scientific background on the relationship between mental illness and violence. I would vastly prefer to be in a room with a mentally ill person than a chimpanzee.
- andrewchambers 12y agoI didn't say it was likely, I said they are more likely to than a sane person.
