There are plenty of people with mental illnesses that are roaming the streets... we take our chances every day. What was that line? Those that take away liberty to purchase safety deserve neither? I'll live life a little unsafe if it means not locking up people because they were sick.

Just to remind you.
He hacked a guys head off while he was alive, in what was likely the most painful horrific death you could imagine. Taunted people with the head. And ate some of the corpse.
This animal, terrorized and changed the lives of every single person on that bus, every responder, and the family. And there is a significant chance this could happen again if he goes off his medication. He has already damaged and destroyed so many lives, and we want to risk it again because we have bleeding hearts for him? I don't care what he is going through. He's a ticking time bomb. And society is far better off with this monster dead.
Would you have the same sympathy for a pedophile that claimed to be cured through chemical castration? Pedophilia is a sickness too, isn't it? Because many would argue, what this guy did was far, far worse.
