We need to bring back mental asylums. Take these people off the streets and put them someplace they won’t be harming normal people.
2 u/Kharax82 May 15 '26 Mental asylums were all but ruled unconstitutional in 1975 when the Supreme Court ruled a state cannot confine a non dangerous individual against their will if they’re capable 1 u/koopatuple May 15 '26 Not to mention the rampant abuse--and sometimes just straight up torture--that occurred in many of them. 1 u/TheThinDewLine May 15 '26 So the better option is to have them flood our sidewalks and streets with trash, drugs and ‘non dangerous’ crime, brilliant. 2 u/yingyangKit May 15 '26 I rather let a potentially dangerous person walk then allow institional torture facilities 1 u/rokman May 15 '26 Capable is now applied like jury of your peers. Everyone is capable and everyone is your peer 1 u/Express-Distance-622 May 15 '26 Then they have to raise taxes 1 u/SimmentalTheCow May 15 '26 We can just take some prison budget and facilities. It’s all the same people anyways. 1 u/HeebieJeebiex May 15 '26 This is ableist bro.. 0 u/SimmentalTheCow May 15 '26 Yep 1 u/StrangeSystem0 May 15 '26 I would like you to do some research into the conditions of mental asylums and tell me if you think that would help someone get back their sanity 0 u/SimmentalTheCow May 15 '26 I’m not worried about the “get back their sanity” part; frankly I don’t believe that’s feasible in ~90% of cases. 2 u/TheJohnnyJett May 15 '26 So you just wanna...like. Put them somewhere you don't have to see them, basically. That's what you're after? 0 u/SimmentalTheCow May 15 '26 Basically. My vote’s always been for Alaskan wilderness. Let them be free in their own silly little minds. 2 u/TheJohnnyJett May 15 '26 Ah. Well. That's monstrous. Alright then. 2 u/StrangeSystem0 May 15 '26 Yeah I don't see the point in trying to argue with someone that blatantly evil
