Pink slipping is not permanent and is last ditch attempt for treatment. You typically would have to do something serious such as threats of suicide to be committed so there is a clear set of rules leading to committing someone.

Yes, it is. Felons have shown that they are a threat to the public, the vast majority of those with mental illnesses are not and it would be punishing people without evidence.

I’m going to continue not being okay with people who drag a child into an adult problem because a parent has a job to do, thanks. I didn’t like it when it happened to previous presidents children and I’m not okay with it now.

Nope. I would think it would be wise to weigh whether It is a good decision to have a gun if you have mental disabilities, but I’m not comfortable banning anything because banning involves releasing people’s private medical information and because I wouldn’t be comfortable deciding who gets to keep a gun and who…

Nope. Being a president should not mean it’s okay for people to make comments about your child and the Trumps have done a pretty good job keeping Barrons life private. Even if they didn’t, decent people still have an obligation to be better than Trump and keep children out of the public eye.

I know they don’t think they are and that’s because they refuse to think outside themselves and have any empathy for others.

My school had vocational skills too, but they still had to take some core classes in addition, so they would have enough credits to go to a traditional college if they ever want to. I’m not a fan of limiting anyone’s opportunities.

To some extent I understand this because sometimes people go too far. My queer group in undergrad wanted to spend more time talking themselves in circles than actually doing anything to solve real problems.

I’ve seen lot of comments in the vein of how ironic he has it given Trumps views and I absolutely despise those comments.

Thank you! That’s probably a good rule of thumb to have. As someone who’s never been around guns, I haven’t ever felt the need to be aware of these laws and where it crosses into illegality.

It’s like she’s not aware that she’s supposed to be in public service now because she sure is shocked when the public has the audacity to ask her questions.

Weve passed the point where you’re the real bigot if you accuse someone of homophobia when they say gays shouldn’t adopt and where you’re the real racist if you point out someone’s racism. We’ve now fully moved into if you mention someone’s sexual assault you’re the real abuser who should be ashamed.

Thank you! The little I know about open carry made it sound like the idiot “activists” in the picture below. What you are describing, I had assumed was concealed carry.

I agree with you although it bothers me that there won’t be any justice for his family. Ideally, there would be comprehensive overhaul to police procedures. not like whenever police say they’re changing procedures and do a couple hour video on race relations and call it good, but months and months of training with…

Honest question: can you define menacing please? I’m from a blue state with pretty strict gun laws, so I would find anyone who visibly was carrying a gun to be concerning based on how uncommon it would be. Would it be like holding it in your hand, or does it mean something more specific like brandishing it during an…

The TBI just explains why he didn’t comply. People with traumatic brain injuries sometimes have trouble with stepwise instructions we find obvious.

In the case where you have someone explaining the situation to you (woman explaining how his TBI makes him easily confused/overwhelmed), deescalate, speak calmly, and be patient. Law enforcement needs more education in recognizing mental health issues, so they can recognize mental illness for what it is instead of…

There can be internalized bias with how he has shot, as you said, but the response to his shooting is also an important factor. A lululemon-wearing SAHM being shot waiting for her kid in the car would have resulted in a very different public reaction.

Is this a joke.?

For what possible reason would someone send their kids to this. God forbid their kids turn out literate and able to do basic math.
