In partial (partial hospitalization) yesterday someone was outraged at my opinion on Mrs. Yates. This woman thought Mrs. Yates should be treated compassionately and in a gentle manner while I wholeheartedly disagree.
I mean I could understand it if it was more of an impulse thing or something but it sounds more and more like she knew what she was doing. I dunno.
Although I do believe she needs help, I don't believe that she should only receive hospitalization. I believe at least half of her sentence should be hospitalization and the second half (immediately after being treated so she could function) should be spent in prison.
I hear of so many mentally ill being charged, even if they are imcompetent or "out of it" and they don't get this break at all...they get the full extent of the law. I'm just wondering why some are treated one way and others another way...I dunno.
Just rambling on I guess.
