8 weeks jail for Whitty attacker!

But he had something like 26 previous convictions. But also, he seems to have some mental health issues that aren’t his fault. Tricky.

Agreed, although perhaps they were intractable.

Quite often, by the very nature of mental health issues it is simply impossible to address them, whether the help is offered by friends or professionals or forced upon them by law enforcement agencies.


Quite often, explaining to a mentally ill person where the issue lies and making suggestions as to what they need to do to address them will simply cause them to do the complete and total opposite out of a sense of spite and exacerbate the problem further. Such people tend to take no personal responsibility for their actions or for the harm they bring upon themselves and those close to them and as a result they are destined to repeat them ad nauseum. 

Well, this is pretty much exactly what happened with regard to the callous and gleeful posts you made about the demise of Trina's cat and the upset she was feeling at the time. I tried to explain it to you in increasingly simple language but when it became apparent that I was just trying to use a logical standpoint against a mong I decided the only thing left to do was to terminate a friendship.

But you won't understand this. You people never do. You never understand the connection between your actions and the things that happen to you as a result. That is why mental illness cannot be treated like bodily illnesses.

Well, like I said there isn't one. Mental illness is largely untreatable.
