The conductor wrote that he arrived at the psychiatric hospital with a friend to visit another friend and began quietly telling stories in the hallway about Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich. He reminisced about their imitation of Chinese and about an incident with the actor Vydra the elder, whom, according to his story, they got drunk and bet that during a performance at the National Theatre he would set Jan Hus free. According to the Conductor, Vydra actually did it and received a fine of about five thousand crowns. The conductor stated that the patients listened to his stories and that he cheered up half of the ward.

Yvonne Kussmann reported that a 21-year-old Afghan man had created a disturbance in his apartment in Hamburg-Harburg last night. The police observed noticeable behavior there but did not see any danger to himself or others and left again. Around 4:50 a.m., the man followed a 58-year-old resident of the same building as she was leaving for work. He struck, kicked, and strangled her until she lost consciousness. After he fled, the woman regained consciousness. Bystanders called the police because they had seen the man, who, according to Kussmann, was allegedly in a state of psychological emergency. The police took the 21-year-old into custody and brought him to a psychiatric clinic. The woman was taken to the hospital. According to Kussmann, the public prosecutor's office was investigating for attempted homicide and had applied for a commitment order. They apparently assume that the man intended to kill the woman while in a state of insanity or diminished capacity. A detention judge was expected to decide on the application the same day. #Hamburg #Gewalt #PsychischeGesundheit (translated)

Max Hübner wrote that the policewoman he held responsible for Mr. Piotr's loss of consciousness was, by her behavior, signaling the need for psychiatric help. According to his account, she crudely ordered the man lying down to lie down, even though he was being held by three policemen, and threatened bystanders. Hübner assessed that three years of Tusk's rule were enough for the Soviet mentality to return to the police. https://t.co/sD63dKXnyb #Polska #Policja #Bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Patryk Spaliński wrote that members of Razem will not strongly criticize doctors in the media, as it could expose them to social exclusion. According to him, most of them studied at the best universities and meet with acquaintances, among whom there are people associated with medicine, such as psychiatrists or doctors. Spaliński assessed that the reaction of their environment could lead to severed contacts, and media outrage would bring little benefit. He noted that he expected a strong reaction to his post. He also referred to Marxist thought about the influence of being on consciousness, adding that he did not participate in the meeting of Bydgoszcz Razem dedicated to this topic. #Razem #społeczeństwo #media (translated)

Kafir sharply criticized President Nawrocki's veto against the bill on the enforcement of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. He wrote that he fears aspirations for absolute power and offensively suggested that some might need psychiatric consultation. As an example, he described a hypothetical scenario where the ruling party takes Poland out of the European Union, withdraws from the European Convention on Human Rights, and changes the operation of the courts. According to him, a citizen who lost a case in the country and exhausted available appeals could be left without a way to seek justice. Kafir argued that democracy allows citizens to challenge state decisions and assert their rights. He also warned that a power that does not recognize dissent may, over time, turn against its own supporters. He added that in an extreme case, it could reinstate the death penalty. #demokracja #prawaczłowieka #władza (translated)
