“It is perfectly legal (operative word) to confine someone if he is deemed clinically ill (nuts) and a danger to himself and society. We do it ALL the time. Look up Baker Act. F U C K Red Flag laws.“
You are not listening Jorge, what about the guy we know is nuts, but has not demonstrated he is a danger? Clinically ill is not a reason a mentally ill person will be confined on a permanent basis. He has to show extreme anger or violence, and that he is otherwise he is turned loose. If James Holmes would have shown acts of aggression and anger, he would have been in a institution, but I don’t believe he did.
Most of the time people around the mentally ill are worried what they MIGHT do, MIGHT DO is not a reason they will be confined.
You see, most here are perfectly willing to blame others, those who were told a person wasn’t right, but unless they have demonstrated they are a danger, then hands are tied, and you want them tied. You can’t preach the constitution on guns, then advocate locking people away who have not broken any laws.
