How a City Dies: Woman Burned Alive on CTA by a Violent Career Criminal Who Was Enabled by Democrat Judges

[JoeB131]

Get the violent mentally ill people away from innocent civilians. Out of sight, out of mind? Sure that works. Those guys are dead men walking with brains fried from years of drug abuse. Put them somewhere they can't set defenseless women on fire.

Hey, why not just euthanize them like the Nazis did?

 

[JoeB131]

No, they were closed down by liberal ACLU lawsuits.

The ACLU filed the lawsuits regarding people involuntarily institutionalized. But it was Republican judges who shut them all down and then didn't replace them with anything.

 

[JoeB131]

When someone has been convicted SEVENTY TWO TIMES, he belongs in jail for life. I’m a strong proponent of “three strikes laws” three violent felonies and you never breathe free air again. Career criminals, or the violent mentally ill have no business being allowed to be a part of out society.

Except he wasn't "convicted" 72 times. He was arrested 72 times. Only 16 of those arrests were in the last 10 years. Of all those arrests, he only had 15 convictions.

Again, we do a terrible job of dealing with the mentally ill in this country, unless they do something truly horrible, and then they get treatment and shelter.

It's fucked up.

We're having a discussion about a serious problem. There is nothing productive about playing the "Nazi" card.

 

[Doc7505]

Okay, I agree. Where do we put them?

Not in the jails, they aren't equipped or funded to treat mental illness.

There are no mental hospitals "out in the country". Or did you believe them when they told you Rover went to go live with a nice farm family?

We used to have an extensive network of mental hospitals, but they were all closed down by the Republican Courts.

The closure of mental institutions in the United States was part of a broader movement known as deinstitutionalization, which began in the mid-20th century. This movement aimed to shift mental health care from large institutions to community-based settings.
The closure of mental institutions in the U.S. was a complex process influenced by various factors, including legislation from both Democratic and Republican leaders aimed at deinstitutionalization, particularly during the 1960s and 1970s.
The shift to community-based care has had mixed results:

• Increased Homelessness: Many individuals with mental illnesses ended up homeless or in the criminal justice system due to a lack of adequate community resources.
• Prison Populations: The number of mentally ill individuals in prisons has significantly increased, as jails often became the de facto mental health facilities.
• Need for Community Services: The anticipated community support systems were often underfunded or not developed, leading to gaps in care.

In summary, Democrats played a significant role in the deinstitutionalization movement, it was a complex issue involving multiple political and social factors, not solely the actions of one party.
Guess you'd have to ask the politicians no longer in Congress that passed laws closing mental institutions nationwide.

Wow!, you can find an excuse for even murder... You admit that in a ten year period of time this perp was arrested at least 16 time and convicted 15 time.
That sound like a frequent flyer and career criminal to me.
Yet, you defend him...

There were serious problems with how mental institutions were run back in the day. We should reopen mental institutions applying lessons learned from the past.

Probably can't. Stain would bring lawyers 24-7 to bankrupt the nation. DEI orderlies would rape and pillage female inmates.

Stain are the reason America is nearly failing. We sent Trump but he us almost alone again, naturally.

 

[BackAgain]

Releasing clearly mentally ill people back onto the streets has to stop. No easy answers but for offenders with multiple offenses, ship them out to the country and keep them medicated.

The mentally ill offenders need to hone tried and upon any acquittal of “not guilty by reason of insanity” (however it is phrased), they should be institutionalized in lock down facilities — with drug therapies and regular treatment by shrinks. And they shouldn’t get released until they are absolutely cured or beyond the ability to hurt anyone again, ever.

Even CommeeeFornia had three strikes = Life but not sure its in effect?

If they just reduce Crimes charged to misdemeanors (for DEI crim I nals) then it probably doesn't work?

Remember the uproar over third strike for stealing slice of pizza because poor Joe was dying of hunger

No it wasn't. The Republicans simply took the direct funding for asylums and made it grants to the states.

It's fucked up.

ONLY FIFTEEN CONVICTIONS? You live in a different world than I do. Fifteen convictions makes him a career criminal. If he was convicted that many times, how many hundreds of crimes did he get away with? Career criminals belong in prison, NOT out in society where they can prey on innocent citizens.

I'm against the not responsible due to mental illness plea. Find them guilty for their actions, move them to secure psychiatric facilities for treatment, when "cured" send them to prison to either serve the full length of their sentence or be executed as required by law.

The simple answer is three VIOLENT felonies and make laws that violent felonies can't be plea bargained down to non-violent ones or misdemeanors by prosecutors looking for easy convictions.

Our Maker warned his believers about these times, & humanity looks to have now entered those time. All us believers can do is hold our ground the best we can & prepare to go down swinging. Sad but true.

Actually, we just slowly back away.

What were the "Crimes", though. It's been my experience that white folks get probation and people of color get jail.

This guy needed treatment. He got the criminal justice system fumbling around with him for 30 years. Now he's done something bad enough where he'll probaby be institutionalized for the rest of his life.

That’s bullcrap and you know it. Black criminals get arrested thirty or forty times before they get convicted the first time. The only way that comparison can be made is if you compare a white first time offender with a first time black offender. Then the black will be given a lesser punishment by the liberal justice system.

Thirty of forty times? Really? Do you have a stat for that?

Blacks are 12% of the general population and 38% of the prison population.

Please don't tell me that the system 'favors" them.

They commit a majority of violent crime despite only being SIX PERCENT of the population of the USA. There are a lot of wonderful, law abiding blacks, but a lot more who are criminals.
