In past times, society would house and treat mentally ill people in places where they would not only be safe themselves, but not impose their mental illness on the public.

But now, we allow them to live freely among us, self-medicating with alcohol and drugs, and making us all part of their altered reality, whether we want to or not. And we call this “humane”.

This is the America we have created. We caused this. We can’t complain. We all made this possible.

Thank you, Russian Troll Bot. I appreciate your daily dose of anti-American rhetoric!

It’s anti-American to accept this and think we can’t do better.

The super progressives honestly cannot understand the large number of people who feel as the PP does. We do not want this in our cities, but the super progressives made it this way.

Does it have gun emplacements? A keep? Moat? Is it defended by Knights? Surrounded by a stockade?

Curious as to what constitutes a “fortification” to a heap of fabric and aluminum poles.

I guess if you want everyone to know you don’t know that term, this is one way to do it.

Yeah, Einstein- that’s what I was implying.

I don’t know WTH a “fortified” tent IS. I goggled it. Google doesn’t know either.

Congrats. You’re smarter than me AND Google.

That Ivy degree was worth it all along I guess.

Maybe spend a weekend off the computer. A 10 year old Boy Scout knows what that means.

There's no such thing as a "fortified tent".

OP made up the term in an attempt to explain/describe what they are seeing/saw.

So, only they know what it is exactly or what the definition is since it's something they completely made up.

I can make assumptions and guesses as to what they may mean and if I had seen it, I would have some additional information to go on but I haven't so here we are - only OP knows exactly what a "fortified tent" is. You think you know, but you'd only be guessing.

OP could post a picture but to be honest, I'm OK if they are the only one who knows what a "fortified tent" is.

DP. You must have a really hard time in the real world communicating with people.

When we use language there are words and descriptors. When we don’t know the precise word that something is called, we try to use descriptors based on words that most people commonly understand so that they can create their own mental image.

In linguistics, this can be sometimes called the sign and signifier.

Still no picture or better definition - I can only conclude you don't know and would be guessing too -- moat and a taunting frenchman? Got it!

Okay, I got you fam. Here is a *non-reinforced* tent that is in question.



Okay and then here we have a fortified version of it, mmkay?



I mean, from the picture it clearly has a moat, a small wall with barbed wire, and even some flames being shot up in the air! This is clearly a FORTIFIED tent.

I actually knew exactly what OP was talking about. But thank you for the photos to clear it up for those confused. I’ve walked past this tent and smelled feces multiple times. Now I avoid it and cross the street. It’s unsightly for sure but I don’t think the occupant has ever done anything dangerous. Nothing will be done until maybe one day he stabs someone waiting for the bus at the metro station.

Leaving human waste in a tent is absolutely dangerous and it poses a threat to public health. Dc needs to stop tolerating lawlessness and anti-social behavior.

Where were these magical places where the chronically mental ill were “safe”? Abuse has always been rampant in institutions. No one was safe there.

There are other solutions but returning to forced institutionalization isn’t it.

Why do you assume that we can’t run institutions better? Places of employment, schools, hospitals, government services, etc. have dramatically improved in the last fifty years. Surely, we can improve mental institutions and we do need them.

Not if any Republicans have any say, They won’t accept any sort of scientific/medical justification for spending any tax dollars….oh no, never. They WILL however strongly support church and christianity based interventions.
