Some people will be horrified, but I think that people like this guy who committ heinous crimes should be tried, convicted for first degree murder and executed. Most people have no idea of the misery chronic schizophrenics subject family members and neighbors to because of a flawed mental health system. Chronic paranoid schizophrenics are repeatedly committed to inpatient psychiatric units when they are experiencing a psychotic episode. That period of committment may vary from state to state, but while they are detained they are forced to take psychotropic medication.
After a brief period the medication returns them to a lucid state. They then have a hearing and are able to respond rationally to the questions of the official who presides over these procedures. Then they are then released and returned to the community.
Invariably they take the necessary medication for a period of time and then refuse to take it any longer. They then repeat the cycle. Families are terrorized, people are murdered and maimed by schizophrenics who refuse to continue taking medication.
I believe that there is premeditation involved in the murders committed by these people, since they deliberately stop taking the meds and as this guy did, deliberately committ murders. I worked in the system for thirty years. I have heard the arguments against “warehousing” mentally ill patients in state hospitals. Many of those hospitals that held chronically ill patients were closed and we then saw the homeless sleeping under bridges, on side walks and in doorways.
Who is responsible for this? Liberals. Radical leftists. The same idiots who are destroying the educational systems, the criminal justice systems and the country. How many more atrocities will these liberal idiots be permitted to subject the nation to before we wake up?
IMO these people should be warehoused for the public’s own good. The doctor I work for has several schizophrenic patients and they are like yo-yo’s.
