Oh, huh! I didn't know he had a new-ish LiveJournal--in all honesty I'd been trying very, very hard to pretend he didn't even exist--so I guess I missed that. Good to know that someone is taking some of his shit seriously, I suppose.
Regarding the Baker Act, California's laws seem to be somewhat similar. Quoth Wikipedia: "The criteria for writing requires probable cause. These include danger to self; danger to others together with some indication, prior to the administering of the hold, of symptoms of a mental disorder; and/or grave disability, as noted below. The conditions must exist within the context of a mental illness."
Bolding mine, because that part seems a bit sketchy to me--it makes sense in theory, but since there has to have been some indication of mental illness prior to the hold, it seems like a fair bit of stuff might slip through the cracks...
And ForeverAlonePonyfag, I sincerely hope that you never feel that hopeless again. It's an awful place to be.
EDIT: I missed Damoclese_Sword's post, so I'd like to reply that yes, I honestly do. While I'm admittedly unsure of how he'd go about it, that fucker's deranged enough that I have no doubt in my mind that if he had access to something like a gun, he would use it. And, unfortunately, not on himself.
Do you think he has the means to actually physically get to you?
