to use or abuse your analogy, JH was the pilot of his own life.
he shared some information with air traffic control (DrFenton)
whatever this information was, she felt it was not enough
to divert JH's plane (life) to land at the mental hospital.
I appreciate your point of view.
None of us know how much or what info the doctor had,
that could make a difference in my opinion of the situation.
I do stand by the fact that a psychiatric hold is stripping
a person of their rights.
here's the form for Colorado.

What I have found so stunning here , I try to tell myself that of course (career)) I have diff notion BUT
whatever this information was, she felt it was not enough
to divert JH's plane (life)
she did have enough information (Fast forward July 20!) my stuff with Fenton is , what on earth stopped you ok fine your Beta crap aint working , well fine fix that later you know clinically that this is a sick kid--call 911 identify yourself - have them escort him for further eval -- a professionial will not get in any trouble for initating invol commit - no confidentiality breach nothing
When I started I had trouble with invol comm -- did not last long -- cause the minute I reframed it that it is a loving and caring thing to do , it was easier to do.
As time passed I noticed colleagues had trouble with it -- for them it was a power control thing -- it never was for me . It was about caring , I am concerned right now Joe, I do not think your feeling really safe now , and I do not think I feel as if your safe your right now etc etc
MOST of the time , after discharge and they had slowed down they would be grateful
see in this mess we all have issues with the slaughter
understandable
but for the individual going through screaming voices, delsuions, not knowing where who they are
agitated
scared f
frightened
noise noise noise
they are very afraid people
this IMO was why the world saw (court) him he was totally congruent with others I have worked with he was not faking he had been medicated IMO, is just coming back to be James (not the joker) and learning what had happened what he did
if you play the video again the moments when he is mostt bewildered it is the media comment, the murder charge comment by the judge
Unless one can truly grasp that james holmes mind did not kill all those people that the joker IN James mind did so it is a different scene
Boy am in trouble now Holmes is devasted by what happened if he is taking his meds and back to being James and I know to most I sound crazy now!!
I have seen it, I have been with folks experiencing delsuions, it is real
he was the joker
does that excuse no
is it identical to someone with diabetes crashing into a bus cause there blood sugar levels went off and killled bunches you bet its medical (MI)
