In fact, it looked like he was pretty strung out and maybe even
non-responsive, whether it was from substances or mental health issues
I don't know. Might have been taking him off to detox or holding him
on a mental health warrant for his own safety.
This was about 4 or 5 blocks from 1001 Queen West, which is Toronto's
largest and oldest mental health facility (used to be called The
Toronto Insane Asylum, now called the more PC Centre for Addiction and
Mental Health - CAMH) and there a many psychiatric outpatients living
in the numerous rooming houses and halfway houses in the 'hood. Maybe
Mohan's one of them and was having "an episode".
The police don't tend to hassle these poor folk from what I've seen -
I'd like to think that whatever was happening last week was for
Mohan's own protection.
Unlike the U.S. where the Supreme Court decided the mentally ill and
addicted have the "right" to rot on the streets.
