Surely someone in the world (Germans, Swiss, Canadians, Norwegians ..) has developed a first responder protocol for handler psychotic situations. There must be training somewhere available. I would think that the police would have to be present due to legal issues involving restraint and constraint, but someone surely has given some thought to methods and protocols.
True dat. I lived in an condo complex with semi-detached houses, and one of the residents was a female teacher who was financially stable (family money), and she was in dire need of mental health treatment.
For the most part, she was an amiable, agreeable neighbour, but when she suffered a psychotic episode, you never knew what to expect, at what hour of the day or night. A call to the local police station did nothing. The ambulance did not come. It was within walking distance of a police station, and once I walked to the police station -- waited at the counter for a good 5 minutes, and a sleepy cop told me that he would send someone and never did. The poor woman would fluctuate between wanting to kill you or being intensely amorous. During some episodes there would be a parade young men - tourists all - who were satisfying her psychotic lust urges - until they were loudly kicked out, running with their clothes and shoes in hand -- which could come at any moment. It was a real circus at times, and no authority was willing to help unless there was a Sandilands committal order.
I think more mental health training is in order for emergency responders like police and ambulance.
LBT is conducting a vicious, backroom campaign against Minnis for no good reason, using the excuse that Minnis is not a good leader. It is already noted that Minnis is not a good politician, but he is an intelligent leader with policy. LBT is devoid of altruism, patriotism, and any conceptual idea of what it means to serve. She is still ticked off because Minnis beat her, and she is taking it childishly and personally.
She hasn't a clue as to economic, policy, or intergovernmental affairs. She is just a brash loudmouth gussie mae from a rich family, with an all-for-me attitude. The country's future is at stake here, and for her the stake is steak, and not the ultimate good of the Bahamas.
She is not leadership material. She is not a nice human being. She is tearing the party apart for personal reasons. Therefore, everything that I say stands. This election is the FNM's to lose, and LBT is insuring that with her nefarious, unpatriotic BS. She is being a b*tch, and doesn't have the grace, commitment, honour and intellectual capacity to better her country.
Birdie, I've said it before. Butler-Turner is a fat cow with no brains and a big mouth. It's harsh, not politically correct, but its true. I do not respect her, because she is one of the "all-fer-me baby". You either lead, follow or get out of the way. Butler-Turner has done none of those. And no I am not misogynistic. Broads hate that, so I never am.
Both those characters are two-faced, and none of four faces does be pretty. When erryone talking bout Glennis, she thinks that she has a fan club. As for Loretta, living with her would be like living in Hell, ...... at least the food won't get cold. As far as I am concerned, this is a no-brainer. Neither one has one. But they should be given condoms, because if they are going to act like dicks, they should be dressed like one.
People listen to Wayne Munroe for the same reason that they listen to Donald Trump -- everyone likes to see a buffoon get into a verbal trainwreck and open his mouth to change feet.
