[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]However mentally ill you are, you are not excused from harassing or touching someone else. If your mental illness makes you a problem in public, then you don't go in public. Period.

I am firmly on the side of the woman filming. Too many people use mental illness to get away with shit. I'm sorry if you're struggling and hope that you are able to have things under control at some point, but the point at which your mental illness can affect others, is a firm red line.

Do we have to be on one side or the other?  I think I’m “team no one”. I agree that you cannot touch someone else - that crosses a line and the woman filming may have started out filming for her own protection / documentation. But she then took it too far. Just like the mentally I’ll shouldn’t be in public if they can’t control themselves,[b] I think we as members of society have a responsibility to not exploit[/b] / aggravate them - it’s quite dangerous to do so.

No one exploited Abigail Elphick. Her actions are her own, mental illness or not. One should expect to be filmed in public in this day and age. And if you're bothered by that fact, behave like you don't want your poor behavior memorialized forever. If you can't control yourself, then you should not go out in public. You don't get a pass to hit someone, harass them, or be rude - just because of your mental illness.

By exploit I mean uploading a video for views / go fund me money. I can understand taking a video of a mentally I’ll person, for your own protection. I can understand handing that over to the cops to assist prosecution. But why upload it to the internet for all to see?  I understand that is legally permissible, but why do it?  To shame her?  To make money off the encounter?  To get sympathy? That’s what I meant by “exploit.”[/quote]
