I'm not suggesting that anyone should care. An understanding of why a hospital for the criminaly insane is the best option as opposed to prison was the point I was trying to make. The reports say he's been a model patient and has posed no threat to staff or other patients. That tells me the interest of public safety is being served quite well.

Cool story, I think you could not have stated my case any better. Sorry about your friend, as you may know mental illness is something that most of us have had to deal with either with ourselves, friends or family. The fact I have experience with this type of thing with those around me does not make me ignorant. This man should be locked away.

Someone I know having this illness and comitting suicide is NOT a cool story. The point of me posting that is to show that treatment can make a schizophrenic a non threat to public safety. That doesn't mean he should be released.

Ignorance comes from you suggesting he be locked in a jail where he's not going to get the proper treatment.

Put him in a prison for the mentally ill, I really don't care, as long as he is not free. And you did call someone ignorant, in more than one post, so yah you are calling people names.

He's not a free man and I highly doubt he will ever get full parole. We have nothing in place to assure us that if Li was given full unescorted parole that he would continue to take his medication. The probablity is high that he would stop his meds and reoffend. He will be a patient of that hospital for the rest of his life.
