Quote from: J70 on May 12, 2023, 06:09:15 PMfrom my experience of walking around sf and observing the homeless pandemic a large portion of them are never coming back to normalcy, their brains are fried and they need to be permanently locked up in a mental institution for their and the public's safety , sf politicians seem to favor let them die in the streets of a fentanyl overdose after years of torture. I know which solution I would want for a family member of mineQuote from: Gmac on May 12, 2023, 05:42:16 PMQuote from: J70 on May 12, 2023, 04:54:19 PMthese lunatics are everywhere on public transport in cities and are a nuisance at least and a serious danger in most cases but they are still there every day even after being arrested 40+ timesQuote from: Gmac on May 12, 2023, 04:37:41 PMQuote from: J70 on May 12, 2023, 03:24:21 PMdon't know the full facts so don't know , my point is why would you intervene in a situation in these cities anymore .Quote from: Gmac on May 11, 2023, 10:34:47 PM
See the ex marine who subdued the mentally ill man on subway in nyc is going to be charged with manslaughter, why would anyone intervene in a situation like this in cities like New York
You think everything he did is ok, that there is no possible justification for bringing this charge?
What do you mean?
Overzealous DA offices?
That's hardly restricted to large liberal cities, depending on the issue in question.
But yeah, I think people will be less inclined to intervene physically depending on the outcome of this, for better or worse.
So you must ask yourself who do these cities care about the paying customer or the mentally ill/violent people ? Someone was attacked with a meat cleaver on Bart yesterday and the Bart spokesman says they have more police, mental health professionals and intervention ambassadors on board most trains
How about locking these people away and arrest people who won't pay the fares and arrest anyone intimidating people for no reason? Most cities ruining regular people's lives to accommodate.05 % of population
NYC is looking at the issue of involuntary commitment at the moment. I may be mistaken, but I believe I heard the SF mayor on Jon Stewart's podcast a little while back saying similar. There are personal freedom issues involved, as well as funding. What do you with someone who recovers after a week because while in hospital, they've been on their meds? Do you hold them indefinitely if they've a history of relapsing when released?
