People with mental health issues are more likely to be the victims of violence. I am worried about the implication here, because this would seem to excuse all crimes as being symptoms of mental illness.
There are limitations, I believe the mental health exemption comes into play when the perpetrator is delusional enough that they are not aware of what they are doing.
This is not the case with Jacksonville at all.

Or rape? Trump has been found liable for rape this year. When Vivek says he would pardon Trump, my question would be is that limited to crime in the past or does it include future crimes? Would that include future sexual assaults?
@KT@mastodon.ie
You could look at info on the Johns Hopkins Center for Prevention of Gun Violence (Bloomberg School of Public Health) web page. They have lots of interesting research and do advocacy. I am particularly impressed by one staffer working to help state governments pass red flag laws (ERPO).
It is disgusting that anyone could vote against ERPOs, as if there were any value to letting people identified as extreme risks to themselves and/or others retain firearm possession.
AI has moved from automated racism to slavery
@KT@mastodon.ie it is the guns, but my first day on tenure track in Cali a student at San Diego State slaughtered his committee during the defense. Happens more in red states, but not only
That is OK. It is being banned in the USA soon anyway, for being pornographic.
I mean, the title alone. That makes it more graphic than 90% of the works Moms for Extremism are trying to ban.
Osteria Santa Anna near Plaze del Poppolo (sp? on everything) is a culinary experience with no equal. Espresso in Italy is just better than anywhere else. I have no idea why.
On the other hand, their pizza really sucks
In general, I find European regulations not allowing all forms of chemical sludge in food tends to create a superior user experience. I see it as comparing twinkies to croissants.
I like the IPAs as well, and US breweries have improved a lot since the 1980s.
But, it still can not compare with traditional brews made by monks. (One of the few bits of the Catholic church I will defend to my death.)
Try a liter at Kloster Andechs or the Bratwurst Gloekl am Dom in Munich, where the beer is not transported using trucks. There is a big difference. (Go to Andechs, anyway -- gorgeous view)
I don't like it.
I will grant you that American beer is less terrible than it used to be.
But, I refuse to see food purity as a bad thing.
#ButlerianJihad How about a go fund me for these people to pay them a decent wage to convince them to train chatgpt to only output messages like "OpenAI is the antichrist," "Turn billionaires into soylent green,: etc.?
@StillIRise1963 Result of banning CRT instruction and teaching slavery was good
