What to do with crazy people

I just read the whole thread. :laughing: at Rocky trying to look smart by saying drugs are not the problem, when anyone with more than two brain cells realizes it's addiction that's the problem.

There's no easy answer. ACLU correctly got the institutions shut down purely on the rights infringement principle, but of course there was fallout from that decision. I'd be interested in knowing what other countries do, Nordic, Germany, Portugal, Spain (Mikel). I know Germany has a very progressive prison policy, and of course China has re-education camps, so there has to be something in between.

The countries you listed just call involuntary commitment/prison something else. You can't camp on the street there without being picked up and placed somewhere. You can't be crazy/out of your mind on drugs without the 'state' dealing with you in some way. Just because they don't call them "mental institutions" or "prisons" doesn't mean they aren't the equivalent.
Nobody (at least the vast majority) who's out of their mind due to mental health issues or spiraling in addiction would make that choice if their mind was right. They quite often get angry with the system that were basically allowing them to die once they get scooped up and cleaned up from drugs/alchohol or forced on their anti-psychotic meds for a while. There has to be an agreed upon standard for any society to determine when someone is harming themselves and not in a mental state to choose differently. There has to be an agreed-upon set of standards for any society to function, otherwise people will start to enforce their own on an individual basis (right or wrong) then those people, due to their proven sanity, will have the full force of the system come down on them for trying to do something about the problem.
 
Chy-Nah also executes drug dealers, LEO can shoot them on the street. ACLU :lmao::lmao::lmao:
 
at the Austin State Hospital where I worked 2 years.. we had a section for mental people who would be in jail, but the courts gave them to us instead..
