I wanted to engage with you until I got to this part. Jesus, this whole post is just on another level when it comes to hatred, misinformation ("the science support this", huhh?) and ridiculous ideas (e.g. sure, what could go wrong with forced institutionalisation?).

You can't have it both ways.
These are either people with a physiological disease or people who are wilfully and consciously causing public harm.
These ideas aren't ridiculous, we just happen to live in a society where there is a loud minority of people who believes tolerance is an unimpeachable value to uphold at all times with no exception.
