A danger to oneself or others..

That's all it takes to get put on a locked psych ward. Threatening someone verbally that is the main criteria they use to put you in the hospital..

The poor and people of color just have to say they want to hurt so and so
and in the hospital they go. Against thier will too. And if you harm anyone else on a psych ward,the cops can be called and the offender goes to jail or a place that is for criminally insane which is also like jail.
Seen it happen to plenty of violent assholes on psych units.

So,how come these narcissistic little trump suckers and qnut fuckers aren't locked up? Against thier will,having to prove to the psychiatrist and staff they are no danger to themselves or others?
