I mean this guy cut someones head off and paraded around on a bus for christ sake.....he should not be free to walk the streets again because he poses a risk to others. Who knows when a guy like that could just up and snap again.
I'm sure no one in this thread suggested he get off 'scott free'.

I'm more trying to gauge where people's opinions lie on; 'should someone with mental illness who committed a crime be treated the same as someone who is mentally fit who committed the same crime'.

The answer in this thread appears to be yes.
