Floridians Encouraged to Report Neighbors Who “Hate Government”

“Bradshaw plans to use the extra $1 million to launch “prevention intervention” units featuring specially trained deputies, mental health professionals and caseworkers. The teams will respond to citizen phone calls to a 24-hour hotline with a knock on the door and a referral to services, if needed,” reports the Palm Beach Post.
Bradshaw makes it clear that the kind of behavior which could prompt a visit from the authorities includes anti-government political statements that may be deemed a prelude to violent action.“We want people to call us if the guy down the street says he hates the government, hates the mayor and he’s gonna shoot him,” Bradshaw said. “What does it hurt to have somebody knock on a door and ask, ‘Hey, is everything OK?’”
The program will also include “public service announcements to encourage local citizens to report their neighbors,” reports the newspaper.
The program has sparked concerns that the hotline could violate civil liberties or even be exploited to pursue personal vendettas, with Bradshaw acknowledging that, “anyone in a messy divorce or in a dispute with a neighbor could abuse the hotline,” and that it will prompt “frivolous complaints.”That caveat is all the more chilling given the research of Florida State University’s Robert Gellately into how Germans under Hitler denounced their neighbors and friends not because they genuinely believed them to be a security threat, but because they expected to selfishly benefit from doing so, both financially, socially and psychologically via a pavlovian need to be rewarded by their masters for their obedience.
“How are they possibly going to watch everybody who makes a comment like that? It’s subjective,” said Liz Downey, executive director of the Palm Beach County branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. “We don’t want to take away people’s civil liberties just because people aren’t behaving the way we think they should be.”
The program is set to go ahead unless it is vetoed by Governor Rick Scott.
As Thomas DiLorenzo points out, the program is also a disturbing throwback to how political dissidents were imprisoned in Soviet mental hospitals, where criticism of the state was deemed “philosophical intoxication.”
Under Stalin, dissidents were sent to infamous psikhushka psychiatric prisons where they were isolated and brainwashed in order to have their political ideas discredited amongst the general public.
It is important to stress that both the First and Second Amendments are being targeted via rhetoric about mental health issues, while the threat posed by one of the real culprits behind violence in America, SSRI drugs, continues to be ignored by the mass media.
As we have documented, while efforts at gun control have largely failed at the legislative level, authorities are greasing the skids for wider gun confiscation by expanding the definition under which a person can be declared “mentally ill,” to the point where harsh anti-government rhetoric is now being treated as a potential precursor to terrorism.
Veterans are already having their guns seized by police off the back of forced “psychiatric evaluations,” while the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is sending out letters to service members warning them that “A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition.”
Last year former Marine Brandon Raub was forcibly incarcerated in a psychiatric ward by authorities in Virginia for political posts on Facebook.
The fact that authorities in the U.S. are now pursuing similar programs to those used to marginalize political dissidents in historical dictatorships, albeit on a smaller scale, in response to recent incidents of terrorism and mass shootings – which statistically represent a minute threat to the lives of Americans – serves as a warning of how the state is increasingly citing mental health concerns as a means of eroding fundamental constitutional freedoms.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's plan to avert mass shootings
April 26, 2013|By Linda Trischitta, Staff writer
Most South Florida law enforcement agencies say they drill continually for mass shooting events, and if they haven't made it a regular practice, they're partnering with larger departments to prepare.
But Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said drills and SWAT team responses to active shooters “are all after the fact. We’re identifying people with a propensity to do these things.” He said he is seeking $3 million from state legislators to fund a “Violence Prevention Unit” that would have an anonymous hotline and five teams --with two deputies and a mental health worker each -- to visit those who tipsters call about.

Sheriff Tells Citizens to Report Folks Who Hate the Government
The idea is to spot potential shooters before they act

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw in 2012 • Palm Beach Daily News
A Florida lawman is raising eyebrows - and suspicion - today after encouraging folks to turn in neighbors who say they hate the government."We want people to call us if the guy down the street says he hates the government, hates the mayor and he's gonna shoot him," said Sheriff Ric Bradshaw of Palm Beach County, who could soon be receiving $1 million from his state to set up what's being "violence prevention units." The VPUs could be reached 24-7 by citizens eager to tip authorities off to a member of the community whom they fear could be the next Sandy Hook or Dark Knight shooter.But the idea's got some folks wondering how it could be implemented without imposing a kind of arbitrary litmus test for possible malcontents:"How are they possibly going to watch everybody who makes a comment like that?" worried Palm Beach Country mental health expert Liz Downey. "It's subjective."But Bradshaw assures folks that he and his staff know how to discern "frivolous" from dangerous reports, and wishes such a system had been in place a year ago."If the neighbor of the mom in Newtown had called somebody, this might have saved 25 kids' lives," he said.
