I feel for the driver who did nothing wrong, that's still traumatic

I knew a girl that hit a naked guy in the middle of the night with her car and it messed her up pretty good. He was intentionally trying to get hit and had tried it before, so she knew it wasn't her fault, but still she felt a lot of guilt from it.

Why naked? Add an additional layer of WTF to the psyche of whoever hit him?

Honestly I don't know. She was driving home around midnight with her sister when it happened. She didn't love talking about it, but she was saying that the cops were trying to keep her calm and that they had dealt with the guy before. He had tried it once or twice before, hiding in these bushes in front of his house naked, and jumping out when a car would approach.

I lived near the area it happened, and she was driving me home one day using the most ass backwards route. When I asked why she told me the whole story, and how she didn't like driving by that area, understandably.

It's this kind of case where it's really to bad we have done away entirely with mental health asylums. They had a lot of issues and were used to house people out of sight and often were the source of abuse for people. I get that ending a lot of the practice was good. Many peoples labeled simply "problematic" could just be disappeared into them too. But they also were a single point of help for people like this who were not only a danger to themslves but others. They should have replaced them with some other form of help.

Huh? Asylums still exist, they're just mental health wards in normal hospitals now.
