At the end of the day your opinion is where most industrialized nations were at decades/centuries ago in terms of law, and thankfully most of those countries have progressed (emphasis on progressed) from your scary views, and thankfully we won't be going back to those times.

LOL, seriously, scariest things you have read on CP? This is basically how the entire court system works, talk to any cop about which people are sent to jail over and over. We are picking and choosing who doesn't have to go to jail based on their illness. I am stating that since we throw so many of them in jail, why aren't we doing the same with Mr Li?
I happen to take the stance that we do it right now and we are doing the right thing, mental illness or not. The fact I mention this make me frustrating and scary? Go sit in a court room for a day.
Based on some of the posts I have read in this thread, someone drinking and driving shouldn't be punished either, since they are not really in control of their decisions and because (I think) alcoholism is a disease.
