>>23. jasjfarrell: Mentally ill homeless people are a danger to themselves and others. The legal process to force them to do anything is non-existent.
All true. We do them and ourselves a disservice by leaving them to their own devices on our streets, but it offends our morals to “lock them up” because that’s what we also do to bad people. We’ve got to — hm, force ourselves — to differentiate. We’ve got to get over our aversion to locking sick people up.
