Lawmakers told mentally ill could clog state's justice system

The liberals insisted that it was cruel to treat them that way and the idiots in Congress declared that they must be released to roam the streets and do as they please. We see the results, but will the politicians recognize their mistake and commit these folks to mental hospitals again? No, they will just raise taxes and build bigger prisons to warehouse these pitiful people.
Lock them up and crime will drop and everyone will be better off.
Sounds cruel, but no worse than allowing them to victimize society and endanger themselves.
Okay- Watch NAMI and the nut-lobby scream and try to deny reality.
The 4th District was acknowledged in further discussions at the hearing this morning.
I'd be afraid to live in a country where the government could declare someone mentally ill and lock him up. (Mental illness can't be diagnosed with a blood test.) Disagree with someone in power (in an online rant, perhaps?), and you could lose your freedom. A little knowledge and compassion go a long way.
