A friend of mine has a relative who is doing several years in prison for shit like this. It took about 14 times of him getting caught doing variously more aggressive, stalker things towards his ex partner before he was finally incarcerated for any length of time.
Motherfuckers need to start letting shit go, and we need to start holding people accountable and providing services for their mental illnesses in the states.
we could, I dunno, quantify which results in better outcomes over time: a jacked up roided police force responding to mental health problems by criminalizing the suffering, or, I guess, maybe… provide some mental health services?
Man, what a quandary. Guess we just continue incarcerating the mentally unwell and arming the facists. Sounds like there’s no better option. Glad that’s sorted.

Statistics show that this would cost less money than engaging the unwell with police, but then how would we justify huge police budgets?

seems fraught with potential.
