You entirely missed the biggest point.
Democrats (using the courts) turned the mentally ill out on the street.
They did this against the wishes of both the families and the communities.
Yes, and it started with Jerry Rivers (Geraldo Rivera) at Willowbrook State Hospital on Staten Island, NY in 1972. I was living on Staten Island at that time and they just released people who had nowhere to go and wound up homeless on the streets! Horrible.
