Folks, your calender may show 2012 but we are living "1984".
I heard about this incident from a YouTube channel I’m subscribed to:

A man makes the understatement of the year and gets arrested.

Because he had not done anything illegal, he has not been arrested. But when somebody writes or says something that sounds threatening or menacing, most states allow ‘detention’ for psychiatric evaluation, for up to but not more than two weeks. If they are not severely mentally ill, which is obvious, they are then released.
And this happens a lot. Potential suicides, public breakdowns that are unresponsive, even disorientation and confusion (often by elderly without identification), and yes, what are interpreted as unfocused threats. Many are called in by family members.
The police are not too gleeful about doing this, because most short term psychiatric facilities are booked solid with “two weekers”. And they cannot give serious drugs to most of them.
VA Ping!

I am watching this one closely. I want to see what the accusations are against this man. So far, it looks like an overreaction on the part of government. I’ll have to see more to convince me otherwise.
He better have a 72 hour TDO tomorrow morning or he is going to get a nice payday from Chesterfield County, John Randolph Hospital and the city of Hopewell when he files the civil lawsuit.
