Please don't use phrases like "loose nut behind the wheel". In all these situations you've described, the "loose nut" is just some person. Often an intelligent, mentally healthy person who did something any person might do. By using ableist language like "loose nut", all you're doing is scapegoating the mentally ill and contributing to the stigma of mental illness. Please stop doing that. You are actively making my life more difficult, as well as the lives of countless others.
