I know it's a cultural thing, but as a European I never understood why the US doesn't protect the identity of mentally ill people.

In medicine, the entire mental health part of a chart remains hidden unless there’s a mental health reason to break past that block. And since every click in medical charting is recorded, you’re not doing that for fun and keeping your job. Nvm the fact that most of the people with access to the medical chart would respect the info anyway.
And yet, anyone else with a camera and a platform is free to spew.
Half of the country is mentally ill. It's just normal for them
30%
for-profit prisons and a 24-hour news cycle. i was never a fan of public mugshots, since they can stay online forever even if the charges are dropped
The whole country is, so if they didn't violate those rights nothing would get done.
what is the charge, burning a penis? a succulent penis?!
A succulent charred penis
Annikin, is that you?
Mentally ill person harms himself in a terrible way and the response of the state is to put him in jail? That's so American.
It’s a real dick move
He's really getting the shaft
To be fair though the state was in a bit of a pickle.
Well we can't just let him cut off his own penis and set it on fire again
So he can get raped and become more mentally ill. Makes sense
His attorney says the case has raised serious questions about his mental state
No shit, Sherlock
After the first frame I thought his opponent was going to be his penis
Thought they had duplicated the mug shot at first, then I realised he must have been beside himself
I thought they were before and after pictures.
Wake up babe, new bottom surgery just dopped
Mine has led me into trouble, but I was never that annoyed with it.
good attitude. No point having a short temper at your short comings.
Dicks off to pay respects.
That's not very Harambe of you.
Dude took Zardoz way too seriously
Why are people hating their penises right now? This dude and the firecracker dude... chill with the penile punishment!

He's kinda cute. Shame about the penis and mental health.
Yup. He might have no balls but he has two strikes against him.
Is that really a crime? I can’t see that really causing property damage. Shouldn’t he just be in the hospital to get stabilized on medication?

Did I miss something in the article? Apart from the headline, nothing says anything about being dismembered. It says he was stabbed.
the real article is members only
Article says he lied about being stabbed once at the hospital and that the wound was self inflicted, but yeah there's no mention of what the actual harm was
So? I did this last Tuesday and you don't see me bragging about it.
My God. Did ... did they at least manage to save the penis?
wtf is with the click baity shit title? there was never any mention of a penis in the story. in fact the entire story was completely different to the title.
No mention of chopping off and burning his dick, just talked about self harm and him burning the garage. Wonder if this was edited afterwards or open is just projecting?
😬
Maybe he was on PCP like that guy from Wu Tang who cut off his wang
Wait what now
Poor guy. Imagine you're so depressed you cut your dick off and jump from a second-story balcony in order to die, but you fail that and have to continue living with the depression, but now also with injuries, and permanently without a dick.
Btw is that article written by AI? It's all over the place with first just briefly mentioning the cutting off his dick story, then talking about ticket prices and touring.
Wah?
