Our class was split up into small groups that got put into LOCKED WARDS to 'mingle' with the patients. Yeah, those people were certified insane and danger to themselves and others. Got to observe for hours, and speak to several one-on-one.

Frankly, every single one of them made more sense that Donald J. Trump does these days. Even the chap who really though he was God was more reasonable that the current POTUS.

Patients who were certified insane and dangerous by professionals. But in that locked ward, I felt pretty safe because I knew the people there were fairly well medicated and VERY well supervised. They were being 'treated' as best as could be, but were in a situation where they, and others, were basically safe.

Scars the daylights outta me knowing that the guy calling the shots for our military powers is completely mad and unsupervised.
