Why Claims I Am dangerous Are unreasonable
1. A person may be sectioned only if he is mentally disordered and dangerous.
2. I have not been diagnosed properly
and therefore cannot be said to be mentally disordered.
(i). Since 2019, I have sent this document
to people and organisations to whom I have reported these matters. It explains why I cannot reasonably be
considered to be dangerous. I summarise that document, below.
3. Merely, that A struck B, is not proof A is violent, dangerous or more likely to be
violent in the future than anyone else we consider to be safe. A might even pose less risk to others than
most people we are comfortable to have around us.
4. I am detained because it is said I pose a danger of violence to others. To determine whether this is a
reasonable view, we must consider how I have behaved when I might have been violent. I have been violent
only once: were I violent, there would have
been more instances of violence, given:
(i). For three months, before I struck that man, I slept rough, as
a consequence of that Campaign. During that time, I was under constant physical surveillance but I did not strike
any of the people involved.
(a). It was only when I faced an existential threat: death from exposure, that I struck one of the people
involved in the campaign. But I first approached the police, several times, to report the matter and, finally, I
warned them that, given the gravity of the situation, should they not act, I should be obliged to use force.
(ii). I was discharged and at liberty, during nearly all of January and
February, 2014. I worked with a community team.There were no concerns that I posed a danger to anyone; I freely
admitted the Campaign continued during that time.
(iii). I have been detained for more than ten years, on the basis of false diagnoses. During that time,
I have routinely been harassed and have been subjected to innumerable provocations and abuses,
and there have been three attempts to kill me.
I have not been violent.
5. Plainly:
(i). my inclination is to the mechanisms society has provided to resolve problems: I repeatedly approached
the police, in 2014, I have petitioned politicians and relevant organisations. I have not been violent.
(ii). I do not have poor impulse control: I have not been violent despite spending more than ten years in
difficult conditions (unjustified detention) and innumerable provocations.
(a). Is it plausible I would be violent if at liberty, knowing that would probably result in my detention in
a mental hospital, perhaps for the remainder of my life?
6. We feed our children formula on probability assessments of safety not much greater than the probability I
would be violent, were my liberty restored.
