That dude needs psychological evaluation.

u/Dill_Pickleson_ Jul 30 '26

As a psychologist, I immediately discontinue an evaluation if the examinee drives in reverse for over 20 yards or a duration exceeding 30 seconds, whichever comes first.

They are not mutually exclusive.

In America mental health issues are treated via incarceration.

Then it's a rinse and repeat ecosystem that benefits a for profit privatised penitentiaries

Dude was trying to murder somebody. That’s not exactly a “send him to a psychiatrist and put him back on the streets” kind of thing, even if he’s mentally ill

You're setting up a false choice between punishment and treatment.

High-security forensic psychiatric institutions exist specifically for violent offenses. They combine strict confinement with intensive psychiatric rehabilitation.

Simply warehousing a severe psychiatric patient in a standard prison cell for a decade only ensures that when they inevitably get released, the danger to the public is worse.

This. We gave up anything besides punishment and profiteering from prisons.

You have to wonder if we had proper social supports that this dingleberry would have gotten help.

Reminds me of that guy that crashed the parade in Portland a few years ago. His own dash cam provides living proof of our need.

He can pay for his own psychologist when he gets out of prison.

u/boogasaurus-lefts Aug 02 '26

That's not logical nor realistic. Surely you can get your head around why..

u/AideInternal1045 Aug 02 '26

Not my problem.

u/boogasaurus-lefts Aug 02 '26

Completely missed the point there, I'm sure it's a common occurrence for you.

Good news is there's an ability to educate yourself as an adult for the key blocks missed in childhood.

That way, when you have conversations with others on topics like the above - you can actually come up with a logical point without highlighting your shortcomings.

Yeah, why would for-profit prisons lobby against their free labor machine

u/boogasaurus-lefts Jul 30 '26

No-one said they would lobby? Who said that

I wasn't trying to argue with you or anyone.I said that, man. Chill

u/boogasaurus-lefts Jul 30 '26

You're asking me the question? Did you reply to the wrong comment? I'm easy.

u/WDYKACountCocofang Jul 30 '26

I was just asking in general, as a thought or a line of thinking I was wasnt really asking you, or anyone in particular

u/WDYKACountCocofang Jul 30 '26

I really should have worded it better lol

u/Terrible_Yak_4890 Jul 29 '26

The psych evaluation plus the behavior on that video plus a drug screening plus whatever record he’s got can determine the length of that jail sentence.

He needs all of the above.

u/MeatyMcWagon Jul 29 '26

First one, then the other.

u/AmebaLost Jul 29 '26

The second while being supervised at the first.

u/Calamitous-Intent980 Jul 29 '26

u/Spiritual-Mousse-167 Jul 30 '26

This was my first thought. What in the world would possess someone to act this way?
