Interesting timing, this morning I overheard the San Francisco mayor on kqed saying she wants to force "mentally ill" people off the street and into "treatment". A cynic might think the SF crime and addict problems are manufactured to get people to accept the authoritarian "solution".
Didn't that obscure little group of do-gooders at the CIA get busted importing hard drugs into the US specifically with the intention of undermining the fabric of society, and even targeting African-American groups too? Pretty sure it did (as you're surely well aware, Clay). :)
The scary part is ignorant Joe Sixpacks on the left and the right believe the BS and that homeless are just crazy and need to be in the funny farm and that Reagan made a mistake in freeing them.
He didn't. Psychiatry is pure for profit Nazism, and it was a great thing Reagan did.
Couldn't agree more. Institutionalised psychiatry was painstakingly exposed by Dr Thomas Szasz as a continuation of the Inquisition - hardly an enlightened program... LOL

I am not sure the Inquisition was quite that evil.
My friend worked for twenty years at a State Hospital, and took a fifty percent pay cut to work at a private sanitarium
The way it works is they will bait a patient until he snaps, and then they have an alarm, and aides come puring in from other wards to join in the fun, stomping the patient in the punishment room.
In one example, back when they could smoke, a patient lost patience and started whipping ashtrays like frisbees at his tormentors.
They took him in the "Quiet"(Punishment) room and rammed his elbow into the rock hard 19th century floor until his elbow jutted out a full, literal 10 inches!
Can you imagine the pain?
The reason my friend quit is because if you don't join in when they set a patient up, and you have a real crisis with a six foot six titan, they will leave you to deal with it alone.
That makes for rock solid enforcement.
The choice was be involved or work somewhere else for a lot less money.
I don't want to take up your whole thread, but I have a million of them, and they are all horrific, some worse than this one.
The saddest one occured when I worked for the VA on a Psych Ward, but I'll save that one for next time.
Unfortunately Reagan did bad things also such as granting protection to vaccine manufacturers against being sue no matter how much damage their products cause

A friend who grew up in a ghetto said a box of guns just mysteriously showed up on the street...
I bet it happened more than one place!

That's absolutely horrific. :-/
Right on par with the Inquisition and the depraved methods of torture and murder they cooked up for completely innocent people. ;-)
Appreciate the share, John! 🙏
Here is one more quick one.
An inmate was assaulted and his arm broken, in three places.
His family, desperate to get him out encouraged him to press charges.
It went to court, they were exonerated,and despite his family's please, he is still locked up on the ward, with his tormentors in charge.
