I don't see how he was a danger to society especially if he ended up somehow getting hired by the transit. Black guy with autism and ocd drives buses and trains and gets them to their locations without any issues. Gets arrested and then isn't allowed to leave the state to go with family that could help him and isn't able to get help that could help him and then he relapses. And the cycle continues and the cycle leads to him being homeless and then the cycle continues..
The cycle could have been broken if he was allowed to get help allowed to actually work this job that he very much was obsessed with wanting to do good except he wasn't employed to do.
Wow such a danger to society... Caused by the fucking legal system!
So anyone should simply be allowed to drive buses and trains without proper training, if they feel like it? Why not expand that to cars, while we're at it? Safety regulations are written in blood.
People should be able to do anything they want as a job especially if they have a predisposition to that thing as a deep interest. Coaching and mentoring and psychotherapy can get someone like that to be a very reliable employee but that never happened for this person.
I also see no options beyond indefinite psychiatric incarceration or letting everyone just do anything. Judge made the right call here. Can't let them get away with it!
