If the homeless were allowed agency, there would inevitably be
pressure to hold them accountable for their actions. That would
undermine the "progressive" Saviours who are going to fix everything
with vast new and expensive - and almost certainly futile - programs
to help the poor darlings. It's far better to just declare them all
to be helpless captives of their addictions and mental health so
that "help" can be applied in whatever fashion the government and
their agents in the civil service deem necessary. Many many billions
of tax dollars can then be wasted on schemes that won't solve the
problem but WILL enrich the agencies that run the schemes.
  

You're suggesting forcible confinement in mental health facilities

You may not be, but I am. If you're violently mentally ill, walking
around threatening people and attacking them, you need to be removed
from society. If your illness is such that treatment is ineffective,
then you stay there forever. But there's no reason the rest of us should
have to run the risk of being attacked, stabbed, set on fire, whatever
your delusions are telling you to do just going about our daily lives.

Actually, there is *some* reason we run such risks: we give personal
freedom the benefit of doubt under necessarily imperfect diagnoses.

 A mentally ill guy diagnosis himself perfectly when he violently attacks
someone. At that point we know something must be done about him that
involves removing him from society. The only question is whether that
removal is permanent or not.
 

Kinda like attacking cops with flagpole spears?  Like that kind of violent attacks?
Or beating cops with fire extinguishers and cutting off fingers and gouging out eyes?  That kind of mental illness?
Because you're not going to believe this!  There's a guy who wants to let a thousand of those violent mentally ill CRIMINALS back out on the street.
I know!  Hard to believe, isn't it?
