We once dealt with mental health issue, but I think it was Carter who decided they all should be freed to become homeless instead of cared for.,
It happened before Carter. It was during the Kennedy administration that the mentally ill son of Robert Truehaft’s law partner invaded my apartment in the middle of a sunny Saturday morning in Berkeley, CA. I chased him out and called the cops. He was being chased out of another apartment when he was arrested. (Truehaft was the attorney for the American Communist Party and Hillary Rodham’s mentorand where she learned about Sol Alinsky.)
