Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The fuckers have taken over a hospital. Why the hell do you do that? Police station I get, but hospital? You're just asses.
WTF? They must not care how their actions appear... or something....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
May your family be safe, ita! Christ, that's frightning.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
ita, I know it must be hard to be so far away while all this is happening. Safety-ma to your family and friends.

Why has there not been a reality TV version of this?
In the late 1950s, three men who identified as the Son of God were forced to live together in a mental hospital. What happened?
In the late 1950s, psychologist Milton Rokeach was gripped by an eccentric plan. He gathered three psychiatric patients, each with the delusion that they were Jesus Christ, to live together for two years in Ypsilanti State Hospital to see if their beliefs would change. The early meetings were stormy. "You oughta worship me, I'll tell you that!" one of the Christs yelled. "I will not worship you! You're a creature! You better live your own life and wake up to the facts!" another snapped back. "No two men are Jesus Christs. … I am the Good Lord!" the third interjected, barely concealing his anger.
...
In hindsight, the Three Christs study looks less like a promising experiment than the absurd plan of a psychologist who suffered the triumph of passion over good sense. The men's delusions barely shifted over the two years, and from an academic perspective, Rokeach did not make any grand discoveries concerning the psychology of identity and belief.
Reminds me of the song "Industrial Disease" by Dire Straits:
Two men say they're Jesus / One of them must be wrong

I hope your father gets his way.

It's been my experience with schizophrenia that although the "narrative" of the delusion may change to accommodate changing circumstances, reality has no effect whatsoever to destroy the delusion. You can't talk a schizophrenia out of his delusion, and you can't prove to him he's wrong. As my mother discovered when she tried to "talk some sense" into my Psycho Ex.
