A friend of mine has a relative who is doing several years in prison for shit like this. It took about 14 times of him getting caught doing variously more aggressive, stalker things towards his ex partner before he was finally incarcerated for any length of time.
Motherfuckers need to start letting shit go, and we need to start holding people accountable and providing services for their mental illnesses in the states.
Statistics show that this would cost less money than engaging the unwell with police, but then how would we justify huge police budgets?
Man, what a quandary. Guess we just continue incarcerating the mentally unwell and arming the facists. Sounds like there’s no better option. Glad that’s sorted.
