This guy doesn’t need “support,” he needs to be permanently separated from society.

If you are defending him, please pick him up and keep him at your house. You can support him. [/quote]

Seriously this is the only sane response.

STFU about supports. Any person committing a heinous act can claim to be mentally ill (bc what same person would do this?) He needs to be away from society, I couldn't care less what happens to him.[/quote]

OK MAGA.[/quote]

A person is MAGA if they think a person with an extensive history of breakdowns that include harrassing people, specifically - sexually harassing people, dating back years, who violently attacked two daycare providers and masturbated in front of 30 daycare children, shouldn't be permanently hospitalized? OK.

Frankly, if DC does this right, they could file a separate charge for each child present, couldn't they?[/quote]

I'm the PP and farthest thing from MAGA. I'm a POC and Democrat.

I also think anyone who is remotely okay with this situation is a complete sicko.

Is the mass shooter in Maine also just having a mental health crisis?[/quote]

Yes, probably. Mentally healthy people don't shoot 30 people or attack day care workers and masturbate in front of children. Recognizing that people are having mental health issues doesn't mean they should be excused for their crimes. Mental health issues this severe require a swift and severe response.[/quote]

Like providing free housing so that the individual has time to "work on their issues." [/quote]

Yes, they should get free housing since they can’t work. But that free housing should be in a secure place away from the rest of society. [/quote]

It's called permanent psychiatric housing and it shouldn't be located in a residential neighborhood.  It's not that difficult.[/quote]

Permanent psychiatric housing on an involuntary basis is not constitutional.

When are you going to realize that the judicial system is sandbagging this country?[/quote]

What? Long sentences in jail for committing actual crimes like this guy did are obviously "constitutional." And some of that time can be receiving psychiatric care or whatever in a fully contained treatment facility.

This isn't about someone with mental issues just in their head. This is a criminal who can be punished.[/quote]

[b]So then why did MPD refuse to arrest him multiple times before[/b] (per local residents complaining) and the USAO refused to charge him with crimes?

No one has a plausible answer for this. [/quote]

Who knows but a very good question. I assume Parker's staff may be reading these posts. So let's put the question to the Councilman -- why did MPD refuse to arrest this aggressively dangerous person multiple times before? In fact, we should be asking all Councilmembers to investigate the number of repeated reports of dangerous behavior and the outcomes of these reports - are there arrests, prosecution, anything?[/quote]

Council member can ask questions. But ultimately the Council member cannot force MPD or the USAO to do their jobs.

We need MPD and USAO to do their f#cking jobs. They seem incapable of doing their jobs. If that’s the case, then we need to start firing people who are not working. There’s plenty of laws on the books that this criminally insane guy has violated over and over again. He would expose himself and MPD would refuse to arrest!

My suspicion is that MPD and USAO are caught in some stupid negative feedback loop where MPD arrests someone, USAO drops charges due to some dumb technicality/laziness, and so MPD refuses to do their jobs moving forward. This attitude by both institutions is unacceptable.[/quote]

There are other downstream issues that contribute to this. Right now, there are thousands of open bench warrants for people who failed to meet the conditions of either their pre-trial release or their probation, and many (if not most) of the people arrested for violent crime in DC have open bench warrants against them (the preschool attacker had an open one). But no one pursues them, either because of manpower shortages or (more likely) sheer laziness/lack of will. A concerted effort to go after those bench warrants would do wonders for crime in DC. Right now, anyone arrested knows they can simply keep committing crimes because the chances are slim that they will be punished, and even if they're caught, they can continue their behavior without worry.[/quote]
