Sacramento walk is sponsored by 5150 energy drink.. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ wiki/5150_(involuntary_ psychiatric_hold)
Its distasteful and just wrong. It's not just that autistic people are given a 5150. The media and our culture nearly always blames autism when a tragedy (read: murder) happens. Also, there's already enough stigma surrounding mental illness in this country. The fact that they're sponsored by an energy drink company who perpetuates that stigma by making light of involuntary psychiatric hold is disgusting. -Celeste
