>> Someone is is genuinely mentally unwell in a way that results in them harming other people must still be kept away from society!

> That is extremely poor and dangerous argument for putting them in jail in bad evidence.

Who made that argument?

Here's what I said:

>> the sanity/insanity of an individual makes no difference to whether they are guilty or not, it only changes the specific nature of the charge (i.e. premeditated vs culpable) and the sentencing (asylum or prison). Someone is is genuinely mentally unwell in a way that results in them harming other people must still be kept away from society!

Why on earth would you snip away my text about ASYLUM, and instead warble on about putting those people in JAIL?

I'm genuinely curious about the motivation to pretend that my argument is different to what I said, and then argue against your pretend version of my argument.

Genuinely curious.
