“Only the most serious of these situations, those which call for involuntary detention, should qualify for this treatment and such treatment should end when the involuntary detention ends.”
If you only knew...
When the involuntary detention ends, the severely, chronically mentally ill are released to one or another place, like a permanent monitoring facility, an out-patient facility, or even to their family.
It’s a matter of course that so very many of them suffer severe relapses, with major psychoses, and frequently become violent, with nobody around who is able to control them, even when they’re unarmed.
You really don’t want them to have access to a firearm.
Until you’ve seen what truly crazy is, you can’t begin to imagine just how crazy a person can be. Movies and TV don’t begin to capture the real nature of insanity. It’s worse than even the stereotypical mad-man you see in Hollywood insane asylums.
And they can all go home, if there’s anyone who’ll accept them.
Which is of course the problem right there. They shouldn't be let out of an institution, but home they go. All so some welfare queen can continue to get her check.
