    There is a great mental health crisis in New York! In the news recently, NYC is going to grab up homeless people off the street and commit the mentally ill into forced treatment.

    Then I read a news story that someone I used to play with as a little kid was recently arrested in NY trying to kill the Jews. He has schizophrenia and has gone without treatment. (Not linked to for privacy reasons.)

    Now there's a new news item, children running loose in Westchester County, NY with severe schizophrenia threatening harm to themselves and others. Severely Mentally Ill Teens Sent to NY Foster Home Unable to Treat Them, Leading to Scares (msn.com)
    Even I myself have schizophrenia, and I'm from New York state, so I have a unique insight into this.

    I think it's time to raise taxes and get a good support structure in place to deal with mental illness in New York state. Which will be difficult because taxes and everything else are so expensive here already.

    But placing budget cuts to mental healthcare, because the problems with cuts on this line item are out of sight of most people (until now), isn't doing anyone any favors. And we're starting to see an increasing problem with safety in the community here in New York.

    The Truth of the matter is, that Democrat Politicians have all of these programs. They have activist groups for blacks, and several programs for people with mental health, and yet black on black crime is worst then it has ever been. Division between whites and blacks keep getting worse, and Thee Cities and States with the Worst Mental Health, and Crime, and Black on Black Crime, are ran by Democrat Politicians. And they support illegal drugs, because it makes things worse for all the above categories. people with mental health, crime, division. Add drugs to all of those things, and it becomes very radical, and massively out of control. Anarchy. Fear, Confusion.

    It's because they pretend. You see, this is part of their Socialist/Anarchist Agenda. They act like they care, so they can control these groups, not help them, but to unleash them, in a negative way.

    What do you think that people such as you and I can do to help end this division?

    Yes, that should help bridge the divide.

    I thought about contacting the NYS government, but they are finished for the year and won't be doing anything. I'll have to try and remember to contact them again in January 2023 when the new government sets in.
