Okay thanks, I don't know who is therapist is though, but I can see if my parents know.
As for not going off his medication cause that's up to the doctor, he's been acting this way since he went on the medication and I think it's the medication that is doing this too him. I feel like I am the only who has noticed the "coincidental timing".

Well you wont find any argument with me on that point. I've known more people harmed by psych drugs than were helped. But if he wants to be on them not much you can do.
Well I don't know if he WANTS to be on them, he is just following the advice of the doctor I think. I mean it just seems like such coincidental timing that he started acting this way only about three months about after first being put on the medication.
Okay then, well I asked the parents and they said that even though they have heard of a couple of instances from third party examples, over the years, it's most him complaining about how he tells off women after they reject him.
But some of the things he is saying are major concerns, like how these women deserve to be sexually assaulted, and things like that he says. He comes off like a raving fascist lunatic, and I think it's cause for alarm.
People say those things out of frustration. I know a guy like that and he's totally non-violent. You can't lock people up for thought crime.
The biggest link between violence and mental illness is when people use drugs.

Wait. So you're not sure if your parents EVEN KNOW who your brother's therapist is??? Didn't you post in this very thread?
But no one seems to know who he is?
Good lord, I've never seen such a fogged-out, checked-out family. Whatever your brother does when he finally snaps is 100% on you.
Why is this a hundred percent on me? It's not that easy to get someone institutionalized. And yes my parents know who the therapist is, so I will ask them.

Don't just ask them. Tell them what you think needs to happen. Tell them you will call the police the next time he threatens someone. Tell them they need to report his actions to his therapist, and there needs to be an evaluation of whether your brother is a danger to others. Don't stop until something gets done.
I know you want to be a filmmaker and direct a feature film. But your problem-solving skills seem to be nil.
Okay thanks. I went to the police station and spoke to the police, but they said they cannot do anything unless a crime has been committed that a victim or a witness of the crime, is willing to report. So even if I did call the police next time I hear about him threatening or insulting someone, I don't think they will take it seriously if I hear it from my brother, based on what they told me when I asked.
