Start with the CA State Senate and Assembly, and I’m down with it!

I find myself agreeing with him. It would solve 99% of the so-called homeless problem in CA.

Get the mentality off the streets and into mental institutions were they belong.

Its inhumane to allow crazy people freedom when they’re incapable of taking care of themselves.

Humoring the mad has led to disastrous consequences in CA.

This is what the ACLU sued the Reagan admin over and the reason they are al out on the streets. Screwy.

It was mostly the far leftists including aclu that pushed for leaving the mental Cases and drug addicts on the streets - in the name of civil rights. Some conservatives went along because it saved a lot of money closing the mental hospitals. Anyway, that approach has led to the current disaster. And yes it is extremely unhumane to leave people who so desperately need help to sleep in the cold streets. I do have very serious concerns about forced removals and treatments of any citizen. This kind of extreme govt power can be so very easily abused that it’s almost certain it will be. Don’t have an easy answer but the current mess Is horrible for everyone .

The incremental iron fist. GTH, Newsom

>> Newsom drew support from members of both political parties

No Republican should support this Leftist BS.

>> But civil libertarians have concerns

Good.

Scumbags like Newsom let things rot to Hell, and then the scumbags overreach in desperation.

Astonishing the people of CA vote for this outcome — collective brain damage.

Wow, the most radical leftist wants us to rewind 50-60 years, almost back to the evil, hated, troglodyte 1950s!

Hmmmm. I can’t help but wonder if the remaining California Republicans and Conservatives won’t be put in mental institutions in the end... It all sounds so -— Soviet.

There is a large body of precedent that protects the civil rights of psychiatric patients, against coerced treatment and involuntary confinement. Newsome won't have the horses to overturn decades of law.

Comrade Newsom might find some “Sluggish schizophrenia” on the streets

Is sanity returning to California?

Now what about the druggies, get them off the street as well and, presto, no more “homeless” problem!

Psychiatric beds are many times more expensive than homeless shelters.

And folks of his ilk, back in the 60s and 70s, were the ones who said that releasing people from mental institutions was the humane thing to do and that they could take care of themselves in open society.
