    I’m not sure that works either, when some do have legitimate mental health issues and our mental health infrastructure in the country is a little weak.

    Ultimately I don’t think a punishment-and-fear paradigm is really the solution. The fear part just doesn’t work at the broader societal scale, and never really has.
