It saddens me that there is so much ignorace about this illness and that if more people could see or spot the signs we can help people get the proper diagnosis and treatment. The goal should be early intervention with a goal of preventing future incidents from happening.

I get it, schizophrenia is a very real and debilitating disease that can cause extreme outbursts such as hallucinations that might convince someone to commit a horrific crime. I don't think I'm ignorant in thinking that this guy should not be allowed back into society unsupervised though. What if he does it again? This is a very real possibility.
