The guy is very manipulative. I wanted him arrested so that at least that process could get started. He is not under the control of DOC.

I can't go into much detail about why he was there, or I'll be the one arrested.

As long as we keep gently escorting him out to where ever he wants after he acts like a total ass, he will continue to act like a total ass. If he gets sent to jail, even if only for 2 days, and he doesn't get treated like a freaking princess (which is exactly how they treated him), has to wait for his dam sandwiches (he ate like a king while in the ER), his outbursts not tolerated (which they are now), then maybe he won't act the way he does.

I'm pretty sure the guy is not going to buy a gun. In fact if I ever see him outside the hospital his chances of being the injured party are probably 99% greater then it being me. Not that I would ever intentional assault anyone of course. I'm more concerned about OPD's lack of enthusiasm regarding the safety of ER staff. I never see it reported in the paper, but our staff is physically assaulted on a regular basis. If people were escorted out in cuffs before it reaches that point we might save someone from a disabling back injury, or worse. There us this assumption that because you think you are injured, your behavior is not accountable. BS. I'll call it when I see it, BS. Probably the same kind of thing was going on the public buses in order for bus drivers to get that kind of legislation passed. I only wonder.

Thank you AuntyM for your support.
