NYC to Round Up Mentally Ill

Monday, February 18, 2013

The city is making a major push to sweep the streets of dangerous, mentally ill New Yorkers -- and has even compiled a most-wanted list, The Post has learned.

The measure follows a pair of high-profile subway-shove fatalities from December allegedly involving mentally ill individuals.

The city has already drawn up a list of 25 targets, sources said.

This is actually a good thing. If they had done something similar for the Lanza kid it might have prevented the massacre.
As long as they concentrate on those who do not take medication, the public has an interest in making sure they do.

Looks like we're going to lose a few of our NYC posters.

We will know them by their absence : )

During the Reagan regime, mental Institutions were closed and the mental patients were driven by the busloads to big cities. The doors were opened and they were pushed off the bus and the buses drove away.

RR saw this as a good money saving policy.

Austerity 1.0.

Send them back to Atlanta. Their one way trip during the Olympics is over.

Because they turn the shade of purple if they don't. That makes identifying them pretty easy.

Mental hygiene warrants? Hell, everybody in the country could be busted, especially rich billionaire politicians like Mayor GasBag.

726, have you ever been to NYC? It's easy to identify those not taking meds. Also, many have to report to clinics to get the stuff and can be identified that way.
Just stroll around Port Authority bus terminal someday. You'll see.

Path, too many mentally ill people are at city hall for the hospitals to accommodate.

dangerous, mentally ill=/=all the mentally ill.

And I'm glad the violent/insane are being helped.

Now if only all insane people could get help of some sort.
