Mayor announces plan to hospitalize more mentally ill people involuntarily
 
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has directed the NYPD and peace officers to take individuals who appear "to be mentally ill" and "a danger to themselves" into custody involuntarily for psychiatric evaluations if they may be a harm, even if they are not considered to be an imminent threat to the public.

"Without that intervention, they remain lost and isolated from society, tormented by delusions and disordered thinking," said Adams in a Tuesday press conference. "They cycle in and out of hospitals and jails, but New Yorkers rightly expect our city to help them and help them we will."

The directive has stoked outrage, controversy and debate about homelessness and mental illness, and how to tackle both issues.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

So, with transgenderism and pride parades galore, who will be considered "mentally ill" with "delusions and disordered thinking"?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
