There has been a rash of incidents in New York City subway stations that have ordinary people scared for their safety. Just last Friday, a homeless mentally ill man pushed a woman from the platform onto the subway tracks, She managed to climb to safety and the police arrested the perpetrator, but with crime in the city careening out of control, the mentally ill homeless problem has taken on a larger dimension.
Authorities are at a loss as to what to do about it. The truth is, it’s complicated. You can’t just snatch the mentally ill off the streets and put them in institutions unless they show they’re a danger to others or themselves. And usually, the only way you can prove that is if they try to kill someone. It’s a quandary that was created by the need to reform the inhumane way that the mentally ill had been treated for centuries.
But in our attempts to be humane, we have created a situation where people’s lives are threatened and the safety of the community is at risk.

Worst Piece-of-shit Mayor ever.

That’s the answer!

Why not text...it worked so well last time. Lol!
They have it backwards. Treatment comes first. The violence comes after these poor saps have had their minds ruined by drugs and shocks.

Why not ???
No nepotism there - nope.
Feelin’ a bit mentally ill, call my wife sometime!
...and watch them bill the city per each call. What an incentive to leave them out there assaulting innocent victims.
The Democrats made Reagan release the mentally ill from homes.
I was never sure what the end-game was for that.
Maybe they were not great places, but the fix is to make the punishment for mistreating patients so bad that they would not do it. Also for falsely putting someone in jail or a mental hospital.
They better get a lot more operators.
Is it a 900 number?
NYC is de BLowsthehole money pit. He will probably retire to a multi million dollar estate complements of New York taxpayers.
How about doxing De Crapio’s home number(s) and cell number(s), first!
“The ill person in my life is Bill de Blasio, and Governor Cuomo. Please send police immediately!“
can NY’ers call and report deblasio and cuomo?
