The guy was probably hearing voices, on drugs, drunk, mentally unstable, or all of the above.
Doesn't condone it, but you have to remember they're in another universe, refuse to take advantage of free help/charity, and otherwise lack logic. Fwiw, I purchased a muffin for a homeless guy years ago. He slapped it right out of my hand and mumbled something at me. |

I blame others, too. In 1980, under JIMMY CARTER, the Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 was passed. This bill provided federal grants to local community mental health centers. One year later, the 96th Congress, with a Democratic majority in both houses, repealed the act. Reagan signed the repeal, which was placed on his desk by Congress, but he was merely following the wishes of the elected representatives of his constituents. Reagan agreed with the majority of the Democrats that it was better to allow the states to retain control of funding and operations in mental health institutions. What Reagan did do, as governor of California, was to sign the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act in 1972. That bipartisan legislation made mandatory institutionalization of mental health patients by family members and civil courts illegal. That way a bad judge or vindictive relative couldn’t have you locked up indefinitely at a state hospital. The result of that humanitarian legislation was that populations in state hospitals dropped, but Reagan didn’t directly oversee, direct or cause any hospital closures. The majority of mental hospitals in California were actually closed in the late 1990s, when Pete Wilson formed a task force to examine state hospital operations. The task force found that the populations of many state hospitals had dropped dramatically and the per-capita costs had skyrocketed to $114,000 per year. |

If your stance is that republicans have done nothing to help, why don’t the liberals do something then? You just want to sit on your fat ass and wait for republicans to clean up the sh!t. |

Liberals and Democrats are fighting for funding for mental health facilities and homeless shelters. Liberals run rehab facilities and petition the government for commitment laws reinstated. Liberals have been pushing for tent cities (working in Los Angeles) and community mental health assessments. Liberals are truly the only people doing anything. Look it up. |
