Arbitrarily defining someone as mentally ill in order to take away their chosen way life is an age old strawman.
Mental illness is also a real thing and a real problem, and people with serious problems who need medication often live outside the bounds of normal society. But that issue is not going to be solved here, and I think it's a distraction from the actual topic because the reality is he was on other people's property where he wasn't welcome.
Because it is.
