We used to have insane asylums where the mentally ill were confined and they tried to help them. Whatever happened to them? Why are the mentally ill wandering the streets?

Leftists think it’s mean to lock up insane people.

Well, they’re all just R. P. McMurphy, you know, just trying to have a little fun, right?
Wait, I always hear Liberals blaming Reagan for putting the Mentally Ill on the Streets and for causing the AIDS Epidemic.
It was called deinstitutionalization and it was a big mistake. They should have been sterilized at the very least.
Lot of mentally ill are in and out of court for misdemeanor crimes. Unless they are charged with a felony, a Judge can’t order them to go to psychiatric hospital. The mentally ill are told to go to community mental health, get treatment, get medicine, then they have to reappear in court for a review hearing to see if they did get the help. If they didn’t, they are in violation of probation, which gets them a fine and days in jail. Then they get out and rinse and repeat.
It’s really sad how our mentally ill folks are treated in our country.
