Probably true.
I was speaking more of helping the mentally ill people so that we maybe we can stop from committing atrocities like this.
Mental health problems probably fly over most of our heads, but I do know that the guy who beheaded a fellow human being has received mental health care, and is apparently doing much better. So obviously there IS help out there.
People hated it that he got access to some sort of freedom, which just goes to show that most of us don't really understand the issues at hand.
