I see a lot of posts with people referring to cases and people they knew first or second hand being successfully treated for mental illness.

If someone you know tried to harm themselves (suicide attempt) or broke a window or had a mild episode that's one thing.

This guy cut off someone's head and ate them.

That's not even in the same stratosphere of conversation of anything that's been brought up as a comparison.

It's game over for this guy. That was heinous, violent and 100% unforgivable under any circumstances. We're not talking about a guy who forgot to take his meds, got angry and broke a window.

Whether or not he can be rehabilitated to a point where it's nearly certain he wouldn't do something like that again is completely beside the point. He already did it and deserves the harshest punishment that can be bestowed under our laws. He should be in a facility and should never leave it.

There are no day passes and scenic trips in to town for guys who slay and behead innocent people. Regardless of the circumstances.
