    Not that my thoughts matter much but after thinking about this more I guess whatever. We have no systems in place for the mentally ill at this point.

    If your own immediate family can't handle you and we have no state facilities like they did for my brother...which was hell on earth anyway (everything you have seen in movies and then some) .....maybe you are better off dead.

    I hope none of you ever have a mentally ill family member that runs into the wrong judge/jury/executioner.

    But if it happens it happens. No happy endings here anyway.

    Well the problem is (and I'm not at all trying to be flippant), is that mentality I'll or not, they have the same rights as you and I. I believe that it was Regans AG who argued that to the Supreme Court and won.
    It's a tough nut, frankly.
    Dude obviously has some issues, but if he's not a danger, he has rights too.

    One of my college buddies had a momma that was a raging alcoholic. He got the call and we went over there to help her out. We get there and she was wasted and naked. So we get her dressed and take her to the local hospital, and they said we can't do anything with her because she's an adult.

    About 2 months later she died. She was sitting on the potty and had to throw up and the sink / vanity was right there, so she threw up and choaked herself on the sink.

    My point is this, it's a really fine line between people's rights and the good of the community.

    It's just as sad as it can be

    In Texas, 17 is the age of consent and the age of majority.

    When he was governor of California, his budget cutbacks forced many state mental hospitals to give patients the boot. I remember the facility outside of Napa had big staff layoffs amid the discharge of many of the patients there.
