[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neely's death is absolutely the result of liberal democrat progressive criminal justice reform policies that repeatedly let violent criminals walk the street after being arrested over and over or and over..[/quote]

Didn't it start when Reagan and the republicans started closing a majority of the mental health facilities to save money back in the 80s?[/quote]

Even if that's accurate, it doesn't matter, because Neely had just been sentenced to 15 months in a treatment facility for breaking that woman's nose last fall.  He walked out after 13 days.  So the facilities were available to him and he chose not to use them.  That's the underlying issue with many of the homeless population that I don't know how to address it.  When DC cleared out their encampments the other month, the government spent weeks sending someone there every day to offer services and something like only a third of the people accepted the services.

I don't support what the man did because it was clear he should have released Neely sooner, but I don't fault him for trying to subdue Neely in the first place.[/quote]

To your question, the threshold for involuntary commitment and treatment needs to be lowered.[/quote]
