I just think that we as a society have to acknowledge that delusional people are dangerous. It seems from newspaper reports that this man was acting crazy for a good long while, yet we have to just let him wander among us crazy. This isn’t working.

People are dangerous.
They always have been, and they always will be.
In order to protect ourselves from dangerous people, we harden our defenses.
Another thing that people are is stupid, and dangerous people take advantage of stupid people.
