[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3118992, member: 9374"] Not an uncommon thing. I've seen literally hundreds of people in this condition, any one of whom could snap and do this any day. In fact, we did have one killed by local police after he showed up with a katana threatening people. This cat we had tried time and time and time and time again to get locked up, institutionalized or otherwise some kind of help. He would get locked in the pokey overnight and released, or worst case, sent off for a weekend eval, put on some meds, calm down and released again. Over. And over. And over. And over. I documented in the medical record and in legal filings for Emergency Order of Detention that the guy was mentally unstable, a perpetual and constant danger to himself and others. And nothing permanent or actually helpful in the longterm was or could be done. And ultimately he ended up dead at the hands of law enforcement - luckily, no one else was injured at the same time. But it was tragic. Our society can whine and cry and ***** and moan about how tragic it is that nothing was done to help these poor people - but this is exactly what we as a society has [B]chosen[/B]. The attacks, the school shootings, the random violence, the deranged people - America as a whole doesn't have the dedication to do what is right to help these people, and is suffering the public consequences of decades of neglect and poor management.
