[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will end up the same way as when Reagan defunded the mental health institutions. [/quote] But that was due to the ACLU and many on the left complaining about institutions violating civil liberties (well, and the fact that health care was considered to be a state function). The idea that it is compassionate to remove all constraints on people's behavior is mis-guided. Same for both issues. Let's bring back mental health institutions (adding more substance abuse treatment) and it will help the policing problem.[/quote] yes to all of this. [/quote] Agree. It was an unholy alliance of the right (defunding) and the left (civil liberties) and the result is that now the mentally are "free" to live on the streets in squalor unless or until they become an imminent threat to someone.
