Bring back insane asylums


This is in fact the answer. The horror stories at a few facilities ruined this whole process. Involuntary commitments are the answer, more facilities to commit individuals, less playing on emotion and more on actual wise decisions. It wont happen with social media though.

It's a harsh but absolutely true fact that some people belong locked away for the betterment of us all (and also them) even if they have not yet committed a crime.

I have often wondered about this very angle.

Given that 30,000 people are killed in car crashes every year, why don't we take away cars??? Seems like there were never 30,000 (or even 3,000) abusive deaths in asylums every year.
