Actually I'm generally against the concept of prison. It is really a way for NIMBY types to warehouse those they don't care for and allow for cruelty to be inflicted away from the public perception. I also do not think that this girl is evil, nor do I believe that "evil" exists in the world--it is a concept that reductivist thinkers believe in. She was very obviously very sick from a very young age and probably should have received some sort of intervention a very long time before any of these events occurred. In fact, society failed her and we should all feel ashamed.
That said, this person has shown signs that she cannot be allowed in public--not because she's bad, but because she is not in contact with reality. She can hopefully be rehabilitated to some extent but may never be safely be part of the public again. None of us have been around her and none of us know for sure. It may be precisely as people here hope--she's fine or better and can get to a point of release.
My real argument is to ask people why they are treating this like the Britney Spears event. We knew a whole hell of a lot more about her than we do about this situation. What I get in response is personal attacks and people (literally) telling me that I am an evil person who wants others to suffer. That is now how you have a conversation. If the response is "it's obvious and you're a bad person for not seeing it," are we any better than the tankies?
Except when they get labeled as a bad wrong person™ at some point in their life and then they can rot in an institution forever, not allowed to actually live life.
It's incredibly hard to give that sort of intervention to young children for a lot of reasons.
Now though, she has had that intervention and several professionals have argued for her introduction to society, how does this mesh with your "throw the key away" attitude?
Also in this thread you literally called her evil, maybe you are hallucinating and should also be locked up.
You are a random internet user who has never met her and clearly has some sort of agenda against mentally ill people, that is not for you to decide.
I advise you to seek therapy because either someone hurt you and now you're taking it out on other people, or you're paranoid yourself.
Exactly, you don't know shit about this event but her petition included opinions of several experts who assessed her state and you are just willfully ignoring them.
You are just as bad as the tankies in this situation.
It's really unfortunate that you cannot communicate without making it personal. Think I'm going to extricate myself and block the toxicity coming from you.
Stop projecting and seek help for the sake of yourself and the people in your life.
