New York City to lock up "mentally ill" without trial

Since 2020, the bigger the city, the more of a fascist stronghold it is.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams – already on record as supporting child abuse, getting a city worker fired for speaking out against it, and running an administration that lied in court in a related case – is at it again. Adams has now announced the city will involuntarily commit the so-called "mentally ill" without any sort of trial or hearing, even if they pose no threat to anyone.

Why? Because Eric Adams is a hateful, hateful man, that's why. In a city with a long string of incompetent mayors, that shouldn't be too surprising, but Adams's totalitarianism has few rivals.

Today's Democratic "leaders" hate America, and they hate freedom. It shows every time their traps flip open.

New York's latest directive would unambiguously violate the Supreme Court's 1975 O'Connor v. Donaldson ruling. This unanimous landmark decision says people may not be indefinitely committed against their will.

Wait! There's more! The city is also urging passage of a state law to bolster the city's stance.

The Coalition for Homeless rightly blasted the city's new directive, but the city is sure to dig in.

In the 2000s and 2010s, America's cities were the home of modern pioneers and innovators. Now our cities are the home of gentrified goosesteppers.
