The plm and issue here is looking at the language used in the articels is telling
Disgustung, vaigrant, derilict, smeelly..
Ok
You need to read through that to get the fqcts this man is mentally ill, hasbeen hospitlized in pychiatric care before so on..
Heres the thing. Once society decided locking mentally ill people up for good till they died was a failed policy then obviously having them free and released was the next option.
Homelessness has a very high rate of mental health sufferers. So yeah it sucks for the rich on broadway,and condo owners..sure..but besides peeing and the attack he was put in hospital for..the cops really cant do much...we need to ask will this man receive the help he needs in rikers?
Criminal justice system can only go so far..
Punishment usually only is just when the person being punished knows why they are being punished he is not the first honeless dude peeing in the streets..even clean cities like toronto in canada...has thousands of homeless that is thousands..thousands....most natives peeing in the streets...even vancouver....theyre forbiden to use private washrooms for obvious reasons and public ones are few..
Anyway
New york has allot of homeless.al big cities do...with thet comes its own plms
Lock em up, throw away the key...punish! Punish! Punish! Isnt rhe awnser.
