Suppose his family just does their job and takes care of him?

Yes. Hysterical. Especially the part where you think that we think that you care.

easier said than done. first you can't help someone that doesn't want help. second, many families don't have the means and resources for it, especially if it means institutional care. home care can be beyond many families as well.

Question - if we're going to treat the homeless/mentally ill as fully capable of making their own rational decisions about every action they take, does that mean we can abolish the "insanity defense"?

If a homeless person kills someone, don't blame it on drugs or mental illness! Mamdani says they are fully sane and rational!

Right. Mamdani says that. Maybe...he's insane?

BTW...the insanity defense already doesn't exist, for the most part. Very few can use it. Thank John Hinckley Jr for that. It really pissed people off that he didn't get sent to prison.

If you’re dumb enough to sleep outside in freezing temperatures, well, call it Freedom mixed with some natural selection.

Yup. A few of these homeless do not do well in a structured environment of a shelter. And a few don't trust being in such places and choose to be on the street.

Seems both libbys and maggies are in agreement.

The way you were projecting yourself, it seemed like you wanted them hauled off the streets so as no one would be offended by seeing them.

I'll take your word on that.

Forgive me for not taking the usual maggie deflection and avoid commenting on a point that puts you in a position of error.

So, how is the NY mayor killing people? Are you wanting them to be rounded up like ICE does?
