If you don’t agree with us, you must be crazy. Right?

What do you want to bet? That the mental hospital possibly pays the police to bring people in just so they can keep the beds full. The more patients they have the more money the state gives them. It just like the federal government paying hospitals to code deaths as COVID even though a person died of a heart attack. Follow the money.

Not that there's any excuse for this, but I really doubt that the guy was able to give verifiable information to confirm who he was. Let's face facts, he was homeless and that generally does not happen with people who are lucid and able to communicate well. Chances are, he knew his name and who he wasn't, but beyond that was not able (or willing) for one reason or another, to give rational answers to questions and provide verifiable information. What this highlights is that the burden on depriving someone of freedom is, and should always be, wholly on the state and I don't know how they could carry that burden in this case. The system failed.

Everyone that was involved with this and didn't verify his identity should be found guilty of false imprisonment and sentenced to jail themselves. Every cop, lawyer, judge, hospital staff every last one of them.

This scenario is a chapter in the book Cloud Atlas.

See a Youtube story regarding the Rosenham study, which seems to have proven psychiatry unreliable at best, based on an item in the journal Science in January 1973. Undercover shrinks feigning psychiatric illness were misdiagnosed in multiple institutions, and forty were "caught" at institutions to which they had never been sent. Also, a series of books, The Criminal Personality written in the 1960's at St. Elizabeth's Hospital by Yochelson and Samenow who studied thousands of patients there after being found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity; They said only 3% were actually insane and in those very few committed crimes DUE to their actual insanity. In gross summation of the books, they essentially found that criminals were criminals because they LIKED BEING criminals–very controvertial then–AND now!

Do your job as best you can. Everybody does that. Fire me? You'll have to talk to my union, then my lawyer, and maybe a lawyer hired for me by my union, and then of course I will have to decide which lawyer has my best interest in hand and if they fail I will hire another lawyer maybe.

8:04 Pity some of the text on that t-shirt is gibberish. Try: "There are two umpires who stay OUT all the time and they decide when the men who are IN are OUT. When both sides have been IN and the men are all OUT, and both sides have been OUT twice after the men have all been IN, including those who are not OUT, that's the end of the game!". One interesting rule of the game of cricket is that the umpire may not rule a batsman out unless at least one player on the fielding team ask the umpire to adjudicate ("appeal"). No appeal, no ruling. Sounds a lot like court to me… 😉

Some Hollywood studio needs to make a movie about this. Unbelievable. Thank god for the innocence project no telling how many innocent people sit in prisons worldwide for crimes they didn’t commit. Makes you wonder.

Wow scary! Isn't it a simple part of investigation to make sure they at least get the right guy? Unbelievable. Today you are guilty until proven innocent.
