So I get that you have very little regard for humanity, "even so". Like so many others, your own self interest is your primary motivation in life. So I suggest you consider the absurdity of jailing mentally ill people with the associated cost involved in the cycle of imprisonment (court appointed attorneys,trials,appeals, revolving door from the streets to emergency department to psych facility to jail and back again) let alone the cost to society when a mentally ill person presents a threat of violence and is roaming free in the community. How does your personal self interest becoming impacted when your tax dollars fund prison sentences or your neighbor is murdered?
