> These days, the idea of compelled vaccination is pretty controversial, so the idea that we are going to take away peoples' liberty and force them to take psychotropic drugs after we've imprisoned them seems beyond belief.
This is already happening. Compelled vaccination is completely different than a mentally disturbed member of our society roaming the streets unhinged. I have been party to several title 36[1] cases and it's very, very difficult to get dangerous people "petitioned". It requires coordination between disparate agencies like hospitals, Fire/EMS, Police, community mental health orgs, etc. None of them share a database.
Once they are found to be incapable of living on their own, what do we do with them? Jail? Hospital? Half-way house/Assisted Living?
I will tell you... They end up back on the streets and it isn't pretty. The underbelly of every American city is a nasty, grimy, horrific place. I need to retire.
