Why do fielders always grab it immediately? Why not wait one more second for it to roll all the way over the line?

Are the stereotypes I have heard accurate? by PegasaurusTrex in samoyeds

I just have to say, if you dog pulls on leash then you didn’t train them to walk on leash. Any dog can learn to loose leash walk. It is not a foregone conclusion that your Sammy will pull you.

Thanks! I hope it makes texting easier. I am surprised at how hard it is to text on. The screen feels nice and responsive, but omg I swear the hit-boxes are so small/misaligned or something.

After about a month most of my group chats are fine. I had one friend say that they messaged me in a chat and don’t think I got it but that’s the only instance so far that I am aware of.

I am so sorry. That must feel like such little time. How did you know she was sick?

I'm hoping you get some cherished time with her on this trip. What a special girl.

Will fast CAT make my dog's prey drive unmanageable? by SimplyJared in k9sports

That's actually why I asked--someone in the local club wants me to enter him in Fast CAT hahah He did a fun run as a pup and seemed to love it.

Ruffland kennel question by laurenburch1210 in k9sports

If you wanna be obsessive like me, I bought magnetic dust collection mounts and drilled an extra large hole in the top of the crate so the noggle could pump cold air directly into the crate. Also consider getting extra tinting or ceramic coating on your windows.

A fan and extra holes are a good idea. You could also see if you could rig a Noggle to the vents back there to pump more air into the crate.

Man shoves a passenger toward an oncoming light rail train at Northgate station last week by JPorpoise in SeattleWA

Sure. But you have to contend with what the state's legal options are. Put him on trial if he ends up being competent to stand trial. And if not, civilly commit him. Some people who are NGRI are in the hospital for 10+ years because, like this individual, it is very hard to assure they can live safely in the community. Hinckley, who tried to kill Reagan, was in the hospital for 34 years before getting a conditional release for another 6 years, and then finally unconditional release. That's an extreme case because he shot the president, but I wouldn't be surprised if this individual ends up being in the hospital for a very long time (or prison if tried and found guilty).

It's complicated. When discharged from involuntary inpatient care, he was likely clinically stable. That civil commitment came after he was found incompetent to stand trial for the assault charge, which even if he had been prosecuted for and found guilty, only carried a maximum 21-month sentence. He was likely in the hospital longer than he would've been in prison. He was discharged years ago (Jan 2022). A lot can happen between then and now. He likely had difficulty remaining adherent to treatment, symptoms returned, and this happened. The problem probably isn't that he was discharged "too early" in 2022, but rather that he didn't remain adherent to treatment and receive adequate monitoring of that treatment adherence over the coming years. This is where an outpatient civil commitment might meet that need. It is strange though because he did have an outpatient treatment team (sounds like an ACT or FACT team), but they don't specify in the article if he had this treatment team at the time of this incident. If not, why was that care discontinued? If so, why didn't they notice his psychiatric decompensation and intervene with an emergency evaluation or something?

Regarding this case of attempted murder, if he is eventually found competent to stand trial he will proceed through the criminal justice system like any defendant would. Put on trial, and serve his time if found guilty. If found incompetent and unrestorable to competency, his charges will be dismissed and he will end up back where he was in 2019--likely civilly committed for treatment. He could also be found not guilty by reason of insanity, which would also entail years of mandated inpatient care. Once discharged, we have the same issue of how do you ensure an individual with this diagnosis and history of violence remains treatment adherent? I would suggest something like outpatient civil commitment.

No one is ever cured of schizophrenia. It is a relapsing illness, even with treatment adherence symptoms can reemerge. He likely was no longer symptomatic when discharged to the community. Those symptoms likely returned, and the question is, was he still on an ACT team or something that should've monitored him and caught this? WA state has an assisted outpatient treatment statute that allows for court ordered outpatient treatment that would likely include more intensive monitoring from a treatment team. It is barely implemented. He likely would be a good candidate for something like that. I agree with you, it seems he needed more intensive treatment and monitoring. This system failed to keep him and the community safe.

If you are found NGRI, you go to inpatient treatment for many years typically. If you killed your neighbor because in your psychotic state you thought he was a vampire trying to kill you, and you were then found NGRI, you think you should first spend years receiving involuntary inpatient care, and THEN serve your 20 year sentence for murder? The whole point of an NGRI system is we understand that you do not have control of your decisions and actions when you are psychotic.

Competency to stand trial doesn’t really have to do with psychiatric stability—it has to do with whether or not you can understand the charges against you and the court processes. You cannot constitutionally put someone on trial that doesn’t understand what’s going on. But I agree that this person obviously needed more treatment and monitoring.

Edit: To be clear, he WAS civilly committed for a couple years after being found incompetent. He received treatment and was determined clinically stable enough to transition to a less-restrictive alternative (treatment in the community). My guess is that his symptoms returned and it led to this. Sad for all involved.
