You're talking out your arse now. This is not true: "The first was rejected by Mr Clarke's own country" The country didn't reject it. He refused to get treatment and actually fled the country to escape it.

So, a crime is a crime even if it is committed by somebody who is insane?

That is insane!

The article you linked quotes Mr Clarke's father:

The hardest thing in my life was to sign a committal form to send Niall to hospital.

And follows with

Irish health authorities refused to commit Clarke

That sure sounds like Mr Clarke's country refused to treat him.

And to your points:

> He refused to get treatment and actually fled the country to escape it.

What you are saying and what I said about Mr Clarke's country refusing to treat him can all be true at once.

> So, a crime is a crime even if it is committed by somebody who is insane?

Is a crime committed by somebody who is insane, who refuses to get treatment, and who flees their own country in avoidance of treatment, a more acceptable crime?

Just because your parent signs a committal form to send Niall to hospital, doesn't mean he is committed. The reason he wasn't committed was because he was not violent. There needs to be evidence of harm by him to himself or others. The country did not refuse to treat him. They followed the law at the time.
Your lack of heart and compassion is shocking, tbh.

  This just does not sound right to me.
  I want mentally ill people committed when signs of potential violence are evident, before they cause harm to themselves or anyone else.
