There are alternatives to dealing with violence and anti-social behavior aside from the boot of quasi-military police on those that struggle. Some people and places consistently appeal to greater and greater draconian use of force, other places and people resort first to social policy to take tempretures down and to not regard schizophrenics as "subhumans". | ||

> regard schizophrenics as "subhumans". I hope you aren't insinuating this is my position? That man is a subhuman. He is lesser than a rat. I wish him nothing but unending torment and fear for many years to come. In no way is my contempt for him universally applicable to all schizophrenics. I judge the man by his actions not his condition. | ||

I have a close relative who is a schizophrenic. I also work with one. Neither of them have been arrested 72 times nor convicted 15 times. Neither of them have set a random woman on a train on fire, either. I consider someone who does that subhuman, yeah. Schizophrenics can and do experience empathy and go out of their way not to hurt others. | ||
