So no solution. Just more of the same.

Have you complained about ANY of the egregious abuses promoted purposefully by the democrat party??
= promoting influx of illegal aliens by the millions & establishing 'sancturaries' for them
= promoting outrageous abuse of voting processes
= promoting release of criminals without bail
= promoting egregious abuse of all the 'welfare' programs
= abusing the 'right of free speech' by masked criminals, vandals, & miscreants
= etc etc etc

In fact your ENTIRE political program involves establishing policies that WILL BE ABUSED by 'your' preferred segment of the population == non-productive leeches

THAT is your desired state of the population -- ALL dependent on taxation of the 'rich' (meaning anyone who doesn't vote for your bullshite)

you are one of the worst pieces of excrement on the board. begone!!!

And now the system will allow for her petty criminal vagrant arse to be picked up and put in a mental hospital for her own good and the good of society.

Too bad that bothers you so much you contrarian cocksucker. You can either cope or keep melting. Either way, frick off.

My problem isn't even necessarily about the woman above although I do think she has a right to self determination.

Seemingly the problem is stouts town doesn't have other services in place the manage the situation.

My problem is we're now talking forced internment of adults who may or may not have committed a crime. And the internment is indefinite, costly, and debatably effective. This is going to be ripe for abuse just as it was in the past...

Oh so without mental health institutions she's moved on all on her own no big government needed?


Do you think she isn't being a nuisance wherever she is?

I am not exaggerating at all when I say everyone in the neighborhood knows her and hates her due to the nuisance she is. That didn't stop just because I discouraged her from bothering my house. BTW, it has only been a week and a half, so it's still too early to tell if she will bother that house again or not.

Who is going to pay for these involuntary commitments? Especially now that the federal government is forcing states to do everything in their power to disqualify people from Medicaid?

Ahh so all of a sudden you’re some kind of fiscal conservative?

Apply that logic to how we currently deal with homeless addicts and get back to us.

What does any of this have to do with me?

I’ve never supported or defended a democrat.

But your hatred for me for supporting imaginary democrats is noted.

Seems like something the locals should do; not the federal government. Different cities have different levels of tolerances for such. Let them deal with it.


I would normally agree, but cities like Philadelphia, Boston, and DC belong to the entire country due to their historical significance. Why should Americans have to put up with drugged out mental cases to view their country's historical sites just because democrats are shitty leaders?

Bad policies in those cities deprive everyone, and we shouldn't allow democrats and the homeless to take our heritage away from us like that.

What are the possible options in your view? Involuntary detention or …?

Addicts aren’t known for maintaining employment.

So just let ‘em overrun the streets and turn downtown areas into shite and make it dangerous for good, law-abiding citizens to venture to said areas. Great.

Go frick yourself.

I know you think people born with mental illness are scum but it’s not the government’s job to shield you from people that make you uncomfortable. If someone is harassing you or doing something illegal- those things are already against the law. If your local PD refuses to enforce the laws, take it up with them.

And if part of the problem is lack of mental health treatment, in what way is incarceration the better response?

Petition the federal government to annex these cities then I guess.

Americans are not forced to visit or vacation in any particular cities.

The government’s job is NOT to ensure you feel comfortable on your vacations.

If the "job of government" is not to help foster a functioning society, I'm not sure what you think it is.

I don’t think incarceration is the answer to homelessness. Housing is.

I don’t think incarceration is the answer to addiction. Treatment is.

The last thing I want is for any administration to be able to commit citizens at their discretion.

I’ve never seen this argument made here by someone with your views. So it’s ok for the government to ”foster a functioning society” by detaining its citizens but not by providing food, healthcare or housing for poor citizens?

I’m sure families will do the right thing and report TDS sufferers for treatment.

Emotions always overtake logic with the Left; the government spends nearly a third of its budget on welfare. How much more would you like?

Where has handing people stuff with no strings or expectations ever been proven to foster a functioning society?
