The thing crip mac forgot is called schizo affective disorder. Its basically both bi polar (the manias and depression) mixed with schizophrenia (the audio-visual hallucinations) its really terrible. He feels drowsy due to the meds bringing him out of the manias. Manias feel amazing so taking your meds to combat it makes you feel terrible.

[@Myytzlplk]

My momma was schizo affective. It was a nightmare 95% of the time, but I loved her. She killed herself last year. She had every treatment available, to no avail. Basically medicated into semi-zombie state the last 25-30 years of her life. I took care of her most of the time.

[@Th3Watch3r]

Does the drowsiness stop after your body gets used to the meds? I used to date a woman who started Lexapro while we were dating. She was a zombie for the first month, then it kinda slowly went away till she was not sleepy all the time anymore. I was curious if those meds were like that too?

I can relate to the story at 14:00 so damn deeply. i had 10 years of supervised felony probation in northern VA. Made it 5 years without a violation. Could barely afford rent even working 55 hours a week, got offered an opportunity in Colorado, had a place to stay, work ready to start on day 1, both my roommates and employer willing to meet with my PO. But got denied anyway, moved anyway, got a warrant, turned myself in, sat in jail for 7 months, and by a small miracle got a reasonable judge that read the letters people sent on my behalf, looked at the case, and threw the whole thing out. if not for that one decent judge my story would have ended a whole lot different, i had 10 years of suspended prison time attached to my probation, for theft over $200. our probation and parole system is broken, and designed to force people into an endless loop of incarceration.

[@komali2]

I just testified in a federal case last week, I was a campaign manager and when a law was repealed the lobbyist claimed my boss had solicited a bribe, attempted extortion and lied to the FBI. Absolutely ruined his life. 40 years of a pristine career and reputation along with his entire savings all for being a moderate and not voting party lines essentially. We went to trial two years ago and had a hung jury for two counts and a not guilty on the lying count. Judge dismissed retrial. FEDS appealed and retried him- and we WON again. With public defenders. It was absolutely ASTONISHING. He refused to plead guilty to something he didn’t do and lost everything fighting to clear his name. It was a miracle the first time, the second time around the jury deliberated for under an hour, I’ve never seen grown men so terrified in my life as we all took the elevator down, the lawyers were shaking convinced they lost. Again, absolute miracle. The conviction rate is like 98%+

I was diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder back in 2016, and I was lucky to get lots of support from friends and family, but one of the biggest helping factors is simply reducing stress, which these probation restrictions clearly prevent. I was only able to stop safely taking the medication after the largest stressors in my life went away, and he's right, that medication can be draining and awful at times.

[@smokedbeefandcheese4144]

Stop calling it that then. It is a legal system not a justice system and you should acknowledge that. It is the law and nothing more. It says nothing about morality nor does it have the right to. The biggest problem we have is that people still put stock in the courts even though we all know at this point that this stuff doesn’t work even when you get the right person. It just makes people more violent. All jail does is create criminals and that’s the point rich people need in under class under there under class. They always have. Because you have to have somebody that you tell yourself you’re better than or else you will question why you let rich people do whatever they’re doing. That is the whole game put someone under the middle classes maintain rock-bottom for a population so that you can always threaten people by making them into one of those people. At the bottom. That’s the whole point of a felony is to reduce opportunity. In my opinion felons have no debt to society because society abandoned them and placed an endless burden on their back.

2014 crip mac was arrested for transportation of a controlled substance, 2015 arrested for grand theft, arrested in 2017 for armed robbery. Since then he has been caught 3 separate times with a firearm as a felon, back in oct 2021, july 2022, and again now. He has a net worth of $1mil from his music. Prison is where he deserves to be he's not a good person.

A gang member and felon being in possession of a loaded firearm (A ghost gun at that) isn't "something so ridiculous". Pedo's being released in 2 years is absolutely disgusting but that doesn't mean that what C-Mac did should be seen as nothing big. He's a gang member and felon with a gun, one he almost surely would use if a conflict arose which is very likely in the gang lifestyle.

Andrew, I'm very surprised to hear you say you didn't know the criminal justice system penalizes everyone that doesn't accept a plea deal. If you MAKE THEM DO THEIR JOB by exercising your right to a "fair" & "public" trial, deciding to fight charges against an opponent with unlimited resources, they will punish you by giving the max penalty possible, even adding charges if necessary. We do not have a justice system. The deck is stacked against you IF YOU DONT have the vast amount money or connections required to have the slightest chance. Doesn't matter if you're innocent or guilty. Who can win is all that matters.

As someone with a close family member who has schizophrenia (and as someone who's always had mental health issues themselves) this shit had me tearing up because the way our system (and society) treats severe mental illness truly is just heartbreaking, and ya'll putting this shit on the spotlight means a lot more than you may know. Donating right now for sure, but the world needs more people like Andrew Callaghan and Channel 5, thanks for helping to bring a little more humanity back into the world, ya'll really are amazing. EDIT: And to everyone in the replies saying mental health doesn't excuse certain choices, him lliving that way of life, etc... that's where other factors come into play and when you don't know any other way (or gotta watch out for your own safety/survival) what else are you gonna do? But it seems like he's been trying to get out of that and do other things and prison would just ruin the positive progress he's been making, has a higher chance of just keeping him in that way of life, etc... but then again our systems never been about rehabilitating or helping anything, just criminalizing it 🤷‍♂️

​@taylorzen1 There's nothing good about what happens with gangs in inner city America. Mac seems like a great dude and I've met lots of guys like him while in jail and while institutionalized but tbh it ain't that hard to obey the law. Mental illness is a bitch but at the end of the day you can't just blame mental illness when you commit multiple felonies.

[@Psi-Storm]

A relative had schizophrenia. One thing they definitely shouldn't have is access to a firearm. His situation with the probation forcing him to stay in LA county is terrible, but a good lawyer and a medical diagnosis of paranoia could have probably gotten him out of there.

I’ve done prison time, 5 years to be honest lol. I can’t express enough how important family support is through times like this. His grandmother and mother will be a life vest for him even though they will do the time with him. I’d like to say that this video was incredibly accurate on how our justice system works. Most people don’t understand that once you’re in it, they will try to keep you in it. I’ve seen state inmates sold to be housed in other states so the original state can fill more beds and show numbers to the government that another prison needs to be funded and built, instead of actually releasing people on parole who were eligible. This will be a hard road and a long road for this family but I will say the feds have a much better release program than the states. The state will give you a bus ticket and a check for whatever you earned (maybe $40) and let you out the gate. The feds will take you to a halfway house a year or 6 months before your release and let you work in the community and earn a real check at a real job in your own clothes to better acclimate you to society. Prayers to this family

[@kenjisakamoto1993]
