The Difficulty: Nicole Gelinas’ column on town’s failure to deal with the mentally sick after the homicide of an EMT.
Nicole Gelinas’ column is a bullseye, laying out how we repair this self-imposed madness (“No cross for ‘mentally sick,’ ” Oct. 1).
The Submit and different papers on this metropolis, chock stuffed with investigative journalists, want to reveal the chain of command and accountability in our mental-health system.
Our ineffective mayor wants to elucidate who he'll excoriate to do the roles they're paid to carry out. His grace interval has expired.
The mental-health system within the metropolis is run by individuals who don’t care about how the system performs, solely that they get their paychecks.

There needs to be no cross for the psychotic one that allegedly assassinated considered one of New York’s best. He ought to get life in jail. No extra excuses.
Disgrace on our metropolis and disgrace on the powers that be who let these assassins slide. The place will this all finish if not now?
Justice for Lt. Alison Russo-Elling. Prayers of energy for her household.

Now we have one more mindless homicide — this time of EMT Alison Russo-Elling — by the hands of a mentally sick man. One thing’s bought to provide.
If somebody is homeless, mentally sick however not a selected hazard, retrofit the outdated state hospitals as SROs or “tiny homes” with providers. If somebody is mentally sick and harmful, they should be in a hospital, not a jail, because it solely makes them worse and extra harmful.
Open up extra acute beds however, extra necessary, long-term care beds in among the deserted psychiatric hospitals. As well as, make the enforcement of Kendra’s Legislation a less complicated course of.
I’ve been a psychiatric nurse for 51 years and a former director of psychiatric nursing at Bellevue Hospital. I’m positive I’m not the one mental-health skilled who believes this fashion.
That is good mental-health coverage. We should deal with the severely mentally sick safely and compassionately however in an applicable setting.

Gelinas has written a superb column on how “mentally sick” murderers are free to roam New York Metropolis streets unchecked, enabled and emboldened to freely assault and kill harmless residents.
When will all these murders cease and when will the authorities cease the murderers?
Present mental-health protocols appear ineffective. Politicians and the legal guidelines they enact appear ineffective. New York: How about turning into a law-and-order state?

The Difficulty: Mayor Adams’ remark that the state of Kansas “doesn’t have a model.”
Mayor Adams’ unprovoked and mean-spirited insult directed towards Kansas is correct up there with Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” and former President Barack Obama’s “they cling to their weapons or faith” feedback (“ ‘Stix’ and stones,” Sept. 29).
The elites of the Democratic left declare to be champions of equality, however in reality regard the remainder of us as morally and culturally inferior. Which is laughable, contemplating the unlivable situations within the cities they run.

So Mayor Chip-on-His- Shoulder Adams snidely proclaims that the state of Kansas, not like New York Metropolis, lacks “a model.”
Since Adams took workplace, the one so-called model many people have come to affiliate with the Massive Apple consists of random and generally lethal assaults in subway stations and metropolis streets and untold numbers of drive-by shootings.
That’s one hell of a model you’ve bought there, Mr. Mayor.
