Time and time again I've talked about how mentally ill people are given short shrift in this society. With no mental health professionals around, we often see people in crisis confront the police only to get themselves shot.

That a hospital would have the balls to order security to drag this mentally ill woman out in the cold is beyond reprehensible. It reminds me of that day I drove naked to a psych hospital for help, but instead, they called the police to drive me to an ER. What was the psych hospital's use then? More shoddy care once again.


If I was a hospital employee ordered to do that I would have refused...even if it cost me the job.

Yeah I heard about this...it was freezing weather and she was half naked in a flimsy little hospital gown. Its pretty disgraceful but I am sure we can just expect more situations like this in Trumperica.



I think what amazes me is how little people care. It seems in this society it’s the lowest of the low to suffer from mental illness. There seems to be this pervasive attitude as if one deserves to be in the plight they’re in. I’ve noticed even among well meaning people. When you come from poverty, it’s even harder. But on the upside I’m glad this guy took a video even though it may have been humiliating and helped her. I’m amazed more aspies aren’t angry about this but then I suspect if mental illness and poverty is in the picture it doesn’t matter. It really angers me because I’ve seen this type of behavior especially in psych wards. The arrogance and putting these people on the street that have no where to go because being poor and mentally ill is a crime. No wonder so many end up in prison. :roll:

since the 80s and Ronnie Reagan's prosperity gospel, our national motto has been "I got mine so screw you!" where do you think Hitler got his ideas from? why, from our very own nascent eugenics movement. America needs to look good and hard in the mirror, this is what we are, rotten at the core but wrapped in a flag and waving a bible. we have met the enemy, and he is U.S. - soon to be the DIS-united states unless we change course real quicklike and START TAKING BETTER CARE OF OUR OWN CITIZENS. :evil:

The hospital did a horrible thing dumping that girl at a bus shelter in a dangerous world. There are thugs, rapists, gangs, Neo Nazis and punks hanging around the streets, hungry to have a piece of her. I wish I could take her in, but I only have enough money to support myself and I'm not supposed to have someone living with me.

when I saw that on tv, I wept. :cry: i'm at the point now where my anger circuits are fried, and all that's left is sadness and resignation. god help this world. the psychopaths and psychopathy have reached a critical mass, I don't give this world too much more time before it implodes, not with a bang but with a whimper.

I think the imploding process may have already started.

I still blame the psychos for ruining god's creation, and for that reason I've concluded that they're working for the other team, whether they know it or not. his time is short, and i believe now is the quickening.

Last I heard here, in Baltimore, regarding this case, was that the girl got taken to another hospital, her mother was able to be with her, and she was getting proper treatment. Also, there's talk of suing, and I am VERY happy about that!
