We simply do not treat mental illness anymore. Our policy is to just let all the mentally ill do what they want regardless if it endangers anyone or anything or themselves. It’s like living with one flew over the cuckoos nest patients out on the street.
I don’t know...sounds like he is getting more time on probation for stealing and boinking unicorn floaties than he’d get if he actually had indulged himself raping women.
Not like that, it IS that. But remember that in that book/movie, the scary villains are the medical staff and society as a whole, not the noble and harmless patients. That sentiment was how we got here, they decided to liberate them all free them from the confines of that sterile hospital and let them follow their dreams of living in their own filth on the streets or like animals somewhere else. When they aren't doing worse things to others.
