Did you know that we don’t just “deem” you crazy under our constitution. You get DUE PROCESS. Let me tell you what that actually is. You get notice of the charge against you and the penalty or intended deprivation of rights intended. You get an attorney . You get a trial by jury unless you waive it. You get to defend yourself by presenting your witnesses and cross examining theirs. We don’t DEEM people crazy and take their rights or their property. Have we lost our minds?
Sorry but that`s how they did it here. All the townspeople knew they were nuts and they wanted them off the streets.
Even common folk have sound judgments when they all suspect that a fellow is crazy. Another case: I knew a guy in high school that told his class, including myself, he had a bomb in his locker. We knew this guy was a little off but only a teeny bit- But it was enough for him to be arrested in school and thrown into the slammer overnight. That`s how we do it here. Crime Prevention is better than getting blown up.
