Amy, I'm worried that my neighbor has mental illness

Dear Amy: My neighbor, who is otherwise clean and healthy, imagines being spied upon, imagines break-ins and is generally paranoid. My neighbor is clearly disturbed by these thoughts and I worry this person might go "over the edge."

...

Dear Concerned:

...

If you feel this person's actions rise to the alarming stage and pose a risk to him/herself or others, call 911 and be very specific with the dispatcher that this is a mental health call. Report exactly what you see. Some police departments have crisis intervention teams. Ask if there is a CIT officer available. Then repeat all of this to the responding officers, for instance: "This is a mental health call. I don't think she is dangerous, but she is delusional and I think she might need to be transported to a hospital." (Officers may not have received all the information you conveyed to the dispatcher.)

Mental illness 911 calls pose a risk, both to the person suffering and to responding officers, so conveying and repeating correct information is vital.

Make sure they scoop up all your neighbor’s guns and ammunition, especially if you’re in California.

Dear Concerned Neighbor,

Mind your own business.

Well, quit spying on her.

Dear Amy, my neighbor has an NRA sticker on his truck, and a Mossy Oak decal. Can I use a mental health 911 call to disarm him with little risk to me? I fear guns more than I fear republicans.

Dear Concerned,

Imagine your neighbor is sitting in his home, worried about you because you seem to be disconnected from reality. You don’t seem to understand the seriousness of the things happening around you. He’s worried that you are unsafe, unable to care for yourself correctly, and that something terrible might happen to you.

What do you want him to do?

I knew a gal that was paranoid schizo. Really sad. The police already knew about her. They were on her list of people to call to tell them to stop spying on her. Along with the local university, congressmen, etc. She WOULD get a visit by them to get her to stop banging on the neighbor’s door at 3 a.m. to get the neighbors to stop spying on her.

No situation is so bad that calling a cop can’t make it worse.

“Operator, my neighbor has a Cruz for President sticker on his car...”

“Operator, my neighbor has a gun rack in the rear window of his pickup truck...”

“Operator, my neighbor has a sticker on his car that reads `Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them.’...”

“Operator, my neighbor’s car has a decal that shows a child praying before a cross. I’m so afraid.....”

Amy, the person that wrote to you about the neighbor is a psychopathic personality that revels in making others lives miserable by making false accusations. She has claimed that she was raped by men and uses the female victim card at every chance. California is full of them, they vote Democrat, and will make those that own weapons a living hell.

I’m still trying to figure out how Amy thinks it’s OK to have someone transported to the hospital when they pose no danger to themselves or others.

Dear Amy,

I believe that the American left democrats and the rino gopees are all mentally ill and intend to label all who are not as mentally ill. It seems the inmates now run the asylum called the world and the sane will be hunted down and put in padded rooms and tortured by the mentally ill of the world.
Therefore, I plead God the Father that He will send His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to destroy the wicked of the earth who resist His right ways and return sanity and rightiousness to the earth, a revolted and evil province run by the devil and his evil minions. Come Lord Jesus and let your enemies flee before You. Rule and reign over all the earth from Zion and the City of God, Jerusalem.
