And now there is the hammer rampage in Vancouver.

I don't know much about the bus murderer, but this hammer attack guy was well known to police who knew all about his mental illness. There has to be a way to keep these people off the streets and force them on their medications. I know there is a rights issue here... you can't lock people up until they commit a crime. But we are talking about people that need help and don't have the faculties to get that help. Left to their own devices we end up with knife attacks and hammer attacks.
