This is beyond ****ed up

5) If he shouldn't have been kept in jail, and couldn't secure admittance to an asylum, where should he have gone? Home? You are seriously advocating for the unconditional release of a habitual offender that is also a bipolar schizophrenic? You might have a case if this was dude's first offense, but it wasn't, and the whole mental health situation is a major community concern.

It's a concern cause he may steal small amounts of stuff again? 5 bucks worth of goods. Probably similar small amounts in the past as well (they were petty thefts so it must have been)

If there wasn't the means to get him help, then yes he hsould have been released. You think that we should hold people who shouldn't be in jail in jail? That's commical.

Did I write that?

I said, quote: "the whole mental health situation is a major community concern." And I would add, a concern that is exacerbated by the defendant's criminal history. Yeah, the nature of the crimes may seem trivial to you, but you are making hearty inferences (surprise, surprise) as well as excluding frequency, timeliness, extraneous factors, etc.

Again, if you feel comfortable allowing an habitual offender bipolar schizophrenic on the streets without any medical or judicial oversight then I'm absolutely positive the state would be overjoyed to grant you legal culpability.

Otherwise, why so glib?
