Now on a realistic yet redneck side. He was at the time crazier than a #### house rat, but thanks to modern science he can be helped.
Now he has a mental illness
not an injury, so he will always need to manage his illness.
It is societies role to realize that this man was horrifically ill
and that he can be treated, but it is the laws role to protect us. I feel that the law can do this by ensuring he continues treatment, as his treatment should ensure safety for us and enable him to be a productive member of society which is the best outcome for all.
Now all that said if it happens again, then I take it all back.
