We don’t like the incarceration of the mental, and yet again we don’t like when they go off and kill everyone.
I don’t see a win win on this issue for anyone.
I think we would see a whole lot less of the "mental" if, somehow, our culture were able to return to the way it was 50-60 years ago.
E.g., a culture where
- moms stayed home with their small children, and didn't dump them in daycare
- families stayed intact, with a dad in the home, if only "for the sake of the children"
- most people attended some kind of religious services, at least a few times a year.
