I think most of us are just in a constant state of numbness. I can remember when we lost to Tennessee in 2003 I was ****ed for days. Crazy how far we’ve fallen. As the ol saying goes… there’s always next year

Yeah but again... my point is... you don't voluntarily go to jail/prison either... you get sentenced there.

It should be similar for mental institutions

The big difference is that people who go to jail have bren arrested for committing a crime. With the mentally ill on the streets -- that may not be such a clear cut case.

And is there a way out once adjudicated insane. I certainly can't see this being weaponized.

But again... most of the mentally ill are ALSO COMMITTING CRIMES. And that was what I was referencing... instead of letting them out less than 24 hours later from custody. Have them evaluated and it they are confirmed nutzo... send em to the looney bin!

:LOL: threats to democracy are unable to be "deprogrammed" so we must send all Ultra MAGA to the institutions!

You mean something like that?

Maybe/maybe not .... in terms of observing a crime, arresting and charging an individual. What Adams seems to be trying to do is remove "ticking time bombs" from the street before something bad goes down.

Not the easiest thing to do to send someone -- against their will -- to a hospital, just based on the probability they will act out (even if the perceived likelihood is considered high).

Yeah I get that... I just don't think it's constitutional and his crew will probably end up in court if they go through with it.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but probably unconstitutional like covid mandates and student loan forgiveness

Armed teenage carjacker dies after victim — a woman carrying concealed — shot him in the head on the south side of Chicago

An 17-year-old carjacker died earlier this week after a woman carrying concealed shot him in the head during an attempted heist on the south side of Chicago the day before Thanksgiving.What's the background?The 23-year-old woman was sitting in a parked vehicle just after 2 a.m. in the 1300 block...

In a city filled to the brim with crooks using guns illegally, Chicago concealed carriers have been tallying numerous successes, protecting themselves and others from the worst possible outcomes. Here's a sampling from this year:​
​
  • In September, gunmen opened fire at partygoers outside a home and shot a 13-year-old boy in the head, but the victim's 21-year-old cousin — a concealed carry license holder — pulled out his gun and shot back, after which the gunmen fled.
  • Also in September, a concealed carry license holder shot an armed 13-year-old boy as the boy allegedly was breaking into the concealed carrier's car.
  • In July, a woman with a concealed carry license shot at a group of males who pointed a gun at her as they attempted to steal her car — and a 13-year-old male with the would-be thieves was shot.
  • In February, a knife-wielding man in an alley approached a concealed carrier, who shot the man with the knife once in the leg. Police eventually used a Taser on the knife-wielding man and arrested him.
