[quote:Anonymous Coward 15737046:MV8yMTQ0MjUwXzM2MjE2Nzk1X0RDMDFBOUJB] This is interesting...especially given that NYC is the kick off city for enforcing gun-control laws: [i]At a presidential debate, Obama was asked about achieving gun control. He said, "Enforce the laws we've already got. Make sure we are keeping the guns out of the hands of criminals...[and] those who are mentally ill."[/i] http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2012/10/17/keeping-guns-out-of-the-hands-of-the-mentally-ill/ Could this all be connected? I think there's a very HIGH probability... [/quote]

According to the NY Post, NYC has begun a "roundup" of the mentally ill homeless who hang around subway stations.
The city has already
drawn up a list of 25 targets
This comes after a pair of high-profile subway-shove fatalities from December.
“After the Queens subway attack [of immigrant Sunando Sen], the [city] decided to take a proactive approach to track down the most dangerous mental-health patients that currently have
mental-hygiene warrants
” out for them, a law-enforcement source said.

Cops in the NYPD’s Real Time Crime Center are using high-tech methods to first track down the individuals, and detectives on the street have been assigned to then go after them and take them to hospitals, law-enforcement sources said.
