My point is that they didn't have a legal way to incarcerate him without violating his rights. We can complain, or cite some examples of more restrictive legal reform that would allow incarceration or at a minimum forced psychiatric care if we think a crime might happen instead of after. Those specifics can't come about if we ignore that there wasn't a legal way to get this guy off the streets.
That’s a ’Slippery Slope’. Say it is, a law.
T&T, and I are walking down the street,
he doesn’t like the hat I am wearing, because it is not the same as his.
So he flags down a Policeman, and tells him, I am Crazy.
Policeman believes him, and I am hauled off.
Really Ripe for Abuse !
Now a, teacher, tells a Policeman,
“so and so, threatened to shoot up the school’Policeman believes the teacher , and hauls off the student.
Saving, other students/teachers Lives.
One is good, one is not.
But before a, ’new’ law is created.
One must examine the Old law.
JOG was Perfect, in his assessment of:
‘Because, nothing was done.
it does Not mean,
something could not have been’If, the people, listening to the, ‘charges’,
Wanted to, ‘charge’, they would have found something.
Yet it appears, that, No charges were ever asked, simply because,
the school, wanted a cleaner record, to receive more money.
