I worry that the mentally ill shall face some of the same "treatment" as did US Muslims after 9/11.

My experience in "mental health" is that the system is terribly broken and many involved in it don't care. Even applying this mess to your dictum would be a losing proposition along with the use of wanton force and destruction of freedom and self-determination in those who do not fit your criteria. The problem is, how to determine the criteria under which you would be justified in your position. Which doctors? Hopefully ones not on the take with big pharma. Which judges? Hopefully none on the take with the for-profit prison industrial complex. Which police? Hopefully none, ever. I've seen far more roid cops and injustice from them than I have any amount of dangerous mentally ill people, at least directly in person.

By some definitions, wall streeters and psycho corporate bosses are violently mentally ill, because of psycopathy and asocialism. Shall we rush their offices and put them away? Again, who is qualified to judge, much less adequately and compassionately? As the above poster said, this is a need for compassion and understanding. If gangs of the "concerned" start marching around and imprisoning any they don't like, where have we gotten ourselves? Please re-read my posts at the bottom of the OP regarding how adequate mental health care can work wonders, versus republican cuts nearly specifically designed to put at-risk people into situations catalytic toward trouble.

It's up to us to help, not throw away the key. BIG difference.

Is this what we want? Because some people obviously want this power grab enough to make it happen:
