Letter to Rashid Jibri

Dear Mr. Rashied Jibri

Thank you for contacting the PAUL REVEERE BLOG. For the last 5 years, we have been trying to solicit opinions about the mental hispitals by sending letters to all the doctors involved in our case, but all of them have stonewalled our letters. You are the first to bravely offer an opposing point of view against our usual anti-mental hospital diatribes. We are trying to offer the most controversial blog on the internet. But how can we be controversial, if nobody offers any controversy?

Your letters shows us that you didn’t understand my question. I didn’t ask you if it is legal in the U.S. to drug political critics in mental hospitals for upto 72 hours. All of our readers and viewers already know that U.S. law requires that all political critics must be drugged in a mental health care facility for upto 72 hours to deter them from making any more comments against the police and U.S. government. That’s a no-brainer. Everybody all over the world knows how the U.S. government deals with insolent comments against the police or U.S. government. That was not my question.

My question is:

Is it legal in the U.S. for anybody to be held in custody at a mental hospital for LONGER THAN 72 HOURS even if such a person keeps repeating over and over “I DO NOT WANT TO HURT ANYBODY NOR MYSELF?”

I was strapped to a bed with a T.V. camera over my face at night. During the day, I was stapped to a chair. This went on for more than 144 hours. Seven days. During these 7 days, I kept repeating, “I DO NOT WANT TO HURT ANYBODY NOR MYSELF.” Was that legal? I have read §5150 many times. Read my blog. I have drawn many cartoons about §5150. I have written many jokes about §5150. Read the cartoon about a law book being tortured by a pig, and forced to confess that “Mr. Sanchez said that he wants to ‘hurt somebody or himself’. ” You can torture the law all you want. You can make the law say anything you want it to say. You can interpret it in any way you want, but I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT I WANT TO HURT SOMEBODY NOR MYSELF.

You letter mentions only one mental hospital, i.e., LAC/USC MEDICAL CENTER. My grievance was not written about ONE mental hospital. It was about 7 mental hospitals. What about

Augustus Hawkins Behavioral Health Care?

Del Amo Behavioral Health Care?

Mission Community Hospital?

Gateways Behavioral Health Care?

Harbor UCLA Medical Center?

Bridges at Little Company of Mary?

Augustus Hawkins: 15 arrests. All much longer than 72 hours.

Del Amo: 21 days. Longer than 72 hours.

Mission Community: 10 days. More than 72 hours.

Gateways: 11 months. More than 72 hours.

Harbor UCLA: 4 arrests = 10 days. More than 72 hours.

Bridges at L.C. of M: 3 days added to a 21 day hold. More than 72 hours.

During all these arrests I kept repeating the same statement: “I DO NOT WANT TO HURT ANYBODY NOR MYSELF” Was any of all this legal in any way? Name one thing that they did that was legal.

Thank you for commenting on the Paul REVEERE BLOG. We all want to learn more about U.S. mental hospitals.

Sincerely,

Carl Sanchez
