"Guilty Until Proven Innocent"

I would have completely rejected that, except, a few years ago, my uncle was taken off to a mental hospital for taking my grandma hostage. He didn't actually take her hostage, but he was just back from a real hospital (he's sick) and was on morphine (he left early). So the point is, anything's possible.
Buuuuut, you could try to make us believe it, a little more. Like providing any proof, that we could see.
BTW, all, I'm sorry for the "inflammatory bait" to get as many people as possible to read the post. But you *really* have no inkling (as I didn't) unless you're "accused by those w/impressive credentials" (in today's Daily News, 1 70 yr-old. M.D. got away w/murdering a 38 yr-old. woman [stated her understandably infuriated father]; and 1 M.D.'s son [lying about it, first], admtted he was the attempted rapist he'd been accused]; M.D.s & their families are *not* superior to you and yours ... they only *delude* themselves they are) and it's "your word against theirs" that *you* are literally *nothing* in their eyes. (Not just me, a computer professional, but dozens of other "patient-inmates" confirmed this as well.)
Like you, ernieba1 (and sadly most others who've posted, I can see), I would have laughed off an improbable "story" like this if I read it a few months ago. I forgive you all your naive disbelief, as I shared it myself until it actually happened to me.
I can top your uncle's "story." A woman I know (we are both middle-aged, not "goofy uneducated kids" who could be "easily mistaken for boogie-boarders," or some such thing) who is an M.D. from a foreign country (hence not certified as one here) was kidnapped from her home when she dialed 911 to complain about her landlord harrassing her. (Landlords have unbelievable politcal clout.) They also tried to pull the "you're seriously mentally ill" routine on her ... until she started laying their own psychobabble-medicalbabble on them. Then they let her go right quick. I urged her to sue, but she has little hard evidence (apart from her husband as a witness, when he came to pick her up). And she's still in litigation with the landlord.
You're not mentally ill, "just because you want to sue," nor "because you want your day in court" (whether or not you "have a good case"), nor because you believe in the U.S. Constitution, nor because you exercise your right to free speech (without lying or attempting to hurt anyone ... and "exposing the truth" *cannot* be permitted to be defined as "hurting anyone") nor because you don't know psychobabble-medicalbabble or legalbabble.
PROBABLY THE CORE OF OUR LAW IS THIS FUNDAMENTAL AXIOM:
"IT IS BETTER THAT 100 GUILTY MEN GO FREE, THAN ONE INNOCENT PERSON BE IMPRISONED."
It has always been thus in the U.S.
But, apparently, the psychobabble-medicalbabble quacks "are currently permitted to play by a different set of rules."
They can "assume" you're dangerous with no proof whatsoever. *You* prove you're *not,* is their "philosophical position," if you could call such insanity that. (Again, without a Rorschach or *any other* kind of test, I reiterate ... not even "20 Questions" or "Jeopardy" ... which most of the horrifyingly ignorant, incompetent and non-English-speaking staff [ok, if you're a waitress or a janitor; but a *serious mental illness* in a nurse or M.D., don't you think? w/the power to rescind the Civil Rights of U.S. Citizens by having them kidnapped?] could not beat *MOST* of the "mental patients" at. THEY SURE DON'T WANT *THAT* ON UBIQUITOUS VIDEO, DO THEY? BTW, if they're "really mentally ill," shouldn't their Civil Rights be protected by ubiquitous video anyway, just as is done in nursing homes now [and for the same reasons]?)
"PROBABLE CAUSE" (where something is *likely*) has been replacd with "POSSIBLE CAUSE" (where something is ... *kinda delusional*). "REASONABLE SUSPICION" (... of *what,* I'm *still* trying to find out; the public-defense attorney who got me out EVEN ADMITTED TO ME OVER THE PHONE A FEW DAYS AGO THAT HE STILL DOESN'T EVEN REALLY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED) is now "UNIMPORTANT TO REASON THROUGH," if it ever was (by the under-educated cops who come through NYC's notoriously pathetic school system).
As I've explained, I forgive you your ignorance of the astonishing madness I witnessed first-hand (and they are *so careful* no news, knowledge, photos, video or other absolute evidence of what they're doing behind their closed doors on their "private ward" ever gets out, as it would never stand public scrutiny ... I *still* haven't been able to obtain a copy of their records for my upcoming lawsuit against them), as I was equally unknowing about same just a short while ago myself.
I tried to attach some still photos of the N.Y.P.D. in full riot gear breaking into my home (while I was naked in my own bed, though luckily the camcorder didn't photograph this), but this site choked, and I didn't want to risk losing the post. I wish it was just like my e-mail, where I can just paste them in.
