Hey, I appreciate someone actually interested in chatting about the subject, so thanks.
I think that we all agree on the actual facts about the case. The point is that some of us don't like how the system worked for this person.
You don't think he serves any threat to the public, but why? I think every person can be a threat, in particular someone who has already chopped a head off. He certainly does have the capacity to be a member of society and under his meds he can do lots of things. I am on the side of the fence that says he has gone to far and must be taken away from society forever.
I actually never meant to even get into the jail vs hospitalization issue, as I personally don't care where he is locked up and put away, as long as he is no longer free. I don't know much about the actual medical facilities that handles these types of people to be honest. When I was writing jail, I meant locked up where ever.
