If professionals harass people under drugs (or without) we do jail them. It's just the homeless in the liberal cities who have untouchable status and can freely violate all kinds of laws.

That isn't what the poster was saying. They were saying that the best treatment was jail. And that's not the case. Jail is horrible for treatment.

They were not saying such a thing, you can open the post and Ctrl-F for "jail" to 0 results outside the quote.The comment says that treatment would be the best option, but anything else would be better than letting dangerous criminals roam the streets unmolested.
