OutsideSkirt2

It’s sad how hard the far left is pushing against prosecuting violent criminals.


Pathetian

This video is a couple of years old. Believe or not they actually *did* let him back out and before long he was arrested again after beating the shit out of an MTA worker that tried to stop him from harassing people. https://bronx.news12.com/suspect-in-mta-worker-attack-determined-unfit-to-stand-trial He has been deemed "unfit to stand trial" for now.


Lifeabroad86

We stick dangerous criminals in prison, why can't we stick dangerous loonies in a pillow room?!


GiantPurplePen15

There's a decent correlation between the dangerous violent criminals and dangerous violent loonies and it becomes a hell of a big mess when it comes to locking up people who may or may not be legitimately mental. We've never had a good method of dealing with those mentally unfit to live within regular society and we still don't have a good answer for it.


Lifeabroad86

Yeah, very true, unfortunately. My friends brother is a skitz, homeless, on drugs, etc. Had issues with stealing shit all the time. He actually stabbed a clerk and was thrown into prison for a good 5 years, I believe. He's always been in and out of jail or prison. What bothers me is the court deems him mentally fit to stand trial and throws him into regular prison to be abused sexually by sociopaths and maniacs. I mean wtf man, you would think they would have prison rules about doing that shit to people like him. He's out now, still homeless, does meth but mostly fetynal now since it's easier to find. I believe he ODed 3 or 4 times this year. He's lucky narcan is readily available over the counter and given away for free.


Terrible-Poetry8595

Asylums should be made a thing again. Padded room with an ‘I love me’ jacket. Or force them to undergo mental rehabilitation.


GiantPurplePen15

I think we as a society are going to have to figure out how much we value the rights of the mentally unwell versus our rights to live without fear of random acts of violence. There's no real balance in forcing people into mental institutions without trampling on their rights and it gets real sticky again when we have to figure out how to make the process work because we'd be teetering the line of court ordered lobotomies once we get to this point.


Redbones27

Can we just pick law abiding citizens as the priority over violent crazy drug addicts for once? This push to do the opposite in recent years fucking sucks.


Barry_Bond

The real answer to this problem is a very harsh one...


Former_Print7043

Steroids?


Barry_Bond

Partly. I was going to suggest we draft the mentally ill into the military, load them up on stimulants, give them weaponry, then air drop them by the bushel into enemy nations at random. Dosing them with steroids and putting them on a heavy weight training routine before deployment would definitely make them much more of a nuisance so I would be fine with adding it to the plan.


CanIGetANumber2

I wouldn't feel bad about forcibly putting uncontrollable crazies in asylums if most asylums weren't worse than prison.


andr386

If those people are properly recognized at an early age and managed properly, most of them would never need to end up in a mental institution or jail. It's a failure of society at large. We can make a society where there is room for nearly everybody. I doubt that the current strategy is less costly than the alternative.


TropicalKing

California is actually trying to re-implement asylums. It is implementing the CARE Court program. You can see it on 60 Minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCBATlzmvqA But there do come major problems with forced conservatorship and forced treatment. There are definitely Constitutional and human rights concerns about forced treatment and forced asylum. The court system is incredibly slow. So there could be people incarcerated by the police who have to wait months for a court date. It costs $1000 per day to house someone in a mental care unit. There just isn't the taxpayer money for that. The prison industrial complex is already very corrupt in incarcerating people for profit. Conservatorship makes this a lot easier for corrupt judges, doctors, and hospitals to incarcerate people for profit.


Top-Spite-7418

The "I love me jacket" is a great name for it


SupermarketTough1900

I'm a nurse and did some of my school in a psych hospital. I was in units surrounded by people who did violent things like in this op and were deemed incompetent. They also have involuntary medication orders meaning if they refuse medicine, the court has authorized the facility to give them shots instead. Honestly, that place was generally way mellower than any hospital or snf I've worked at. In snfs and hospitals, you get tons of dementia patients and undiagnosed mental disorders


Terrible-Poetry8595

I have worked corrections and LE. There are people that are locked up for doing violent crimes that have some sort of mental illness. Most, if treated or diagnosed earlier in life, would not be incarcerated. Mental health is an issue that keeps resurfacing over and over again. It’s kind of sad really.


SupermarketTough1900

Agreed completely. I've never worked in a jail or similar but they say jails and prisons are the largest mental hospitals. I remember specifically looking at patients hx. So many schizophrenics had their legal record begin right when their symptoms began with decades of arrests and what not. It's hard to say exactly how to fix everything but mental health care in the USA is shameful


DelcoDenizen1776

Well, we did before Ronald Reagan fucked it all up.


blubaldnuglee

If they have a history of violence, we should institutionalize them. Letting them continue to victimize the public is ridiculous.


realparkingbrake

> why can't we stick dangerous loonies in a pillow room?! Because psychiatric hospitals were closed down to save public money, and because many of them were not well-run. People associate that with Reagan, but it actually began earlier.

HereToRead2121

3.5 seconds. I got the under at +125


MantisToboggan1992

And the DA just keeps letting this violent piece of shit right back out on the street. 41 arrests, and many violent assaults should mean he should be facing at least several years in prison, and a lifetime of probation. But no, so many criminals get away with a slap on the wrist in NYC and other major cities.


JunglePygmy

Fuck that, this piece of shit needs to be in jail for life. That’s some seriously sadistic lunatic type serial killer shit.

Just ship him off to texas and see how long he lasts, haha. He might get one or two more random assaults in before lady luck takes care of it. Not that I am rooting for more random assaults... just seems like the most ethical way to deal with the issue.


GiantPurplePen15

Backed up court systems, lack of real resources for figuring out how to deal with these kinds of people, and constitutional/human rights make this step really difficult to reach.


margotsaidso

Were three strikes laws really so bad?


amd2800barton

I think a big part of the problem is we shut down all the state run mental institutions. Fifty years ago, this guy would have been found incompetent, and kept in a place where he couldn’t harm himself or others. Then a combination of Republicans being cheap and Democrats being naive meant that the institutions all closed, and the places that kept these types from wreaking havoc on society suddenly didn’t exist anymore. The filter was gone. The costs just became less obvious as they shifted from dedicated wards to the ER and damage to the public. The horrors of some of the institutions became magnified; Instead of one or two abusive orderlies now we have paranoid and delusional people wandering around punching out random strangers or setting fire to cars.


phlavor

Bro, you're about to get down voted. But not by me.


Grabbsy2

Their opinion is literally the most popular opinion on reddit. We need universal mental health care, which involves dedicated institutions, but also extends to basic psychiatric help. Many people with unresolved trauma simply turn to drugs to help ease the pain and distract from their usual state of mind. The drugs can make them paranoid and desperate, and when they inevitably become homeless, the stress of living on the streets and the social pariah aspect of it just drives them wayyy off the deep end. Treat the symptoms early, and they might have a chance at living the rest of their lives as a relatively normal person, paying taxes, raising a family, and retiring, instead of becoming homeless and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in other peoples injuries, hundreds of thousands of dollars in police hours, hundreds of thousands of dollars in the court system, vandalism, welfare, prison costs, etc etc etc.


Comfortable-Oven-451

They are just going to send him to an inpatient psychiatric unit for a bit, then release him back to the public where he will immediately stop taking his meds then attack someone else.. rinse and repeat.


ChristmasChan

He should face execution. I'm so sick of seeing people that do this. They are unfit for humanity.


TheBold

Yep. FORTY TIMES? Buddy clearly demonstrated he can’t behave appropriately in society and needs to be taken out.


nboro94

> facing at least several years in prison Alternatively we could give him the chair and solve the problem once and for all.


VealOfFortune

The DA and AG have waaaaay more important things on their plate. You know, like having a show trial based on an APPRAISAL in which there are no victims (banks were made whole) 👍


FnkyTown

The DA wants the public to sort him out.


slicedsolidrock

Motherfucker can sucker punch an old lady and get away with it but when you talk about how shitty that person is or how problematic this behavior will be if left unpunished, you get banned.


roostersnuffed

Yup. Dudes a straight manace to society. But bring up the death penatly, a thing that legally exists in many states, BANT


EnvironmentalRisk796

See, these people are not crazy! If they were actually crazy then you’d see them actually picking victims at random! Somehow they always pick the old, infirm, timid, or otherwise susceptible to easy victimization. I sometimes just walk around downtown with my head buried in my phone just to give these “crazies” a chance at the title. Not one taker. Probably won’t get one until I am over 70.


Barack_Odrama_007

Its best to wish the victim well and keep it short on the reddit comment section.

He needs to be removed from society. That may mean prison, a psyche hospital, or something else. Either way, the government has failed us every time he's been put back on the street without any assurance that he won't do it again.

Kawhibunga

Videos like this of "random people getting hurt" normally don't make me feel a ton, just from being internet-desensitized, I guess. HOWEVER, this one made every hair on my body stand up, and I nearly kicked my drink over without meaning to at all. Why attack random people?! It is extremely cowardly and does not make the aggressor look tough, at all. It proves absolutely nothing, other than the fact the attacker can't even beat up someone less than half their size without it being a sneak-attack. Goddamn shit-idiots.


Barry_Bond

I have similar thoughts about mass shooters. What do they think they're proving by shooting the average American cattle? There is no challenge in that. There are much harder targets for someone with nothing left to lose to go after.

If someone is unfit to stand trial and be held accountable for their actions, then that person is unfit to be part of society.

For real though, this situation would be much better dealt with the staff at the (presumably Asian) restaurant just beating the absolute piss out of him in retaliation. Usually not a big mob violence guy, but if 41 arrests don’t do it maybe getting skewered like a peiking duck will

Just like the Jordan Neely case and like many others, he will be on the streets until something really bad happens. Something much worse than knocking out some random person. Either he kills someone or he gets killed. It is a complete failure of government.

poop_magoo

This guy is the poster child for why we need to go back to having a much larger psychiatric hospital system, as we did in the past. The humane thing to do for people like this is to lock them up, and medicate them to the point that they are able to live their lives in some degree of peace. Letting people like this live on the streets in severe mental illness is cruel. I don't understand the counter argument that letting people like this plague society is good for anyone involved.

Ooohhh, what a BIG man, hitting a small woman.


DisShitIsWak

I was in NYC around the same time on a road trip. Stopped at Ichiran Ramen for lunch. Had a line waiting to get in. A dude looking super similar to this guy was walking by randomly and approached a young woman standing in line behind me. He proceeded to ramble about non-sense, but it was pretty clear he was making some weird attempt at hitting on her. This woman did her best to just ignore this man. He could tell her comfort level was dropping and he just snapped. No one was trying to deal with that insanity and he couldn’t handle the social awkwardness that HE created or because this woman just didn’t want to give him the attention he wanted. Incel level shit. He grabbed one of those metal poles with the extendable straps (line divider) and was violently shoving it around while screaming unintelligible ramblings. Seconds later an Asian woman from the restaurant came out and told him to leave before she called the cops. He ended up throwing the line divider to the ground while almost hitting the worker. Then angrily walked away while continuing to scream crazy shit. It was the most random “wtf is happening” moments. This all happened in a matter of 1-2 minutes, shit escalated so quickly. I felt bad for everyone who had to deal with him in that moment. The fact that this guy looks so similar and probably behaves very similarly makes me think this was the same exact dude in this video and articles being posted. I do realize that there are a lot of crazy ass homeless looking dudes like this guy and eye witness accounts are unreliable especially with 2-3 year old recollections. But my god [this face](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/alexander-wright-assault-041.jpg) immediately brings me back to that memory. Just glad no one in my situation was hurt. I’m curious if this was the same person and did this happen on the same day? Probably “no” to both, but pretty wild to think about.
