So I guess there would be a window of time in which to qualify a person as a retard/crazy etc.

The point was that it be done on the spot.

I'm ok with the crazy/stupid and how they're handled under Keith's justice, but the desperate, and society's role in caring for them as opposed to those members of society that we can say absolutely have some sort of mental deficiency...that's where I get stuck, out of compassion.
(Incidentally, the reason for reigniting this debate is I somehow brought this up on a first date. So. Um. Yeah.)

I think that there are 2 different questions that are being answered by different people:
1) How would Keith's Justice apply in this situation?
2) How can we reconcile Keith's Justice with our current societal values?
Your initial questions sounded like #1 but it seems that you are looking for answers that deal with #2. Thus the conflicting opinions and statements since some are debating what would Keith’s Justice do, while others are debating how it should be applied.
Fuck me… I’m actually debating the nuances of this thread ... I need punched.
PS: did mentioning the topic get you a second date?
