From: "Harvey Rosenthal"
Here’s particularly ominous evidence that TAC is
gearing up big time. NY and Kendra’s Law has been
their most influential base of operations. Flush
with the positive press wave they’re getting from
the Washington Post piece, they’re looking to set
another ‘national standard’ in NYS, the lowering
of the involuntary inpatient commitment standard
to ‘gravely disabled’ or ‘likely to substantially deteriorate’. Chilling stuff!
See how Jaffe sensationalizes the victims with
names like ‘Dragon’ and ‘Second Avenue
Slasher’….a page out of his strategy to push
Kendra’s Law in 2000 when he said “From a
marketing perspective, it may be necessary to
capitalize on the fear of violence to get the law passed."
I’m going to submit a letter to the Daily News
later this am and encourage others to join me in doing the same.
