Yet because of lack of funding at the local and state level, these people are not watched by people in the field and they are left to their own devices.

No offense intended, but that sounds very much like a Democrat-progressive statement. No amount of funding is going to guarantee that every crazy out there takes his meds every day. Hey, wait- there's a great use for those FEMA reeducation camps that they have set up for us conservatives should they retain power...

Really? You rather that about 3 million of these are left on their own then? You mean you would rather that another Ted Bundy or James Holmes is left out there stewing in their demented mind?

There is most likely no way we could cover all..but is it worth it if we cover just one? I want you to go and ask the survivors of that killing if it would be worth it.

This used to be covered under local county administration. You are against that too?
