@WoodshopHandman @Jonaschuzzlewit @bobbala Damn, my neighborhood is becoming infested with violent criminals and junkies... Should my society band together and do anything to prevent this, rather than just limply manage symptoms after the fact?

Nah, I'll just move. Laws don't exist to serve man. Enacting the will of reasonable people is unprincipled. The freedom of the mentally ill to destroy their lives and make mine worse trumps my mere want to be rid of them.
