    Being charitable gets you a room at a mental hospital

    Richard Wright was brightening the days of dozens of strangers in the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) in Canada, by handing out C$50 and C$100 bills. As reported by Metro News , last week Wright was giving cash to different people he encountered in HRM and asking that the recipients, “thank God” for the gift and if they didn’t need the money, to pass it on to someone else. The Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) Royal Canadian Mounted Police were called to conduct a wellness check on Wright. So, when he was seen driving, officers stopped the generous man. After speaking with him, they felt that Mr. Wright needed “further assessment by a medical health person.”

    Mr. Wright’s daughter, Chelsea, called attention to her father’s circumstances when she recently posted a photo of him and said that he had received “unfair” treatment by the hospital and the police. Her father has not been allowed to leave the hospital despite insistence that he is had no mental-health issues. Chelsea explained that her father worked hard to save money and when the family was on vacation in Halifax, he simply decided to share “some extra money” with those in need.

    A savage barbaric tribal society where thugs parade the streets and illegally assault and murder innocent civilians, yeah that is the alternative to having police. Oh wait, that is the police

    He was giving away his own money.That was his problem right there.

    If he was giving other peoples money to strangers,he would get highways and schools named after him.

    Voluntarily giving people money = weird.

    Hitting people over the head and taking their money = normal.

    I have not yet read the book but you got me curious.

    The mental health industry is one of their greatest tools to create their ideal society. My contempt for the field cannot be put into proper words to describe how vile I see this arm of government control. It has the ability to whisk off citizens to a jail where the sentence is indefinite and will haunt your record for the rest of your life.

    Go Forward With Courage

    When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
    when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
    So long as mists envelop you, be still;
    be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
    -- as it surely will.
    Then act with courage.

    Also, since when can someone simply request a "wellness check" on any random person, and since when do the police or Canadian Mounties conduct those sorts of things?

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    Our words make us the ghosts that we are.

    Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

    This reminds me of Soviet Union medicine. If you opposed Communism, you were obviously crazy. Now, if you are charitable in the name of God, you're obviously crazy.
