I actually do feel sorry for Li. Not as much as I do for the victim and his family, but sympathy isn't black and white.

It seems like Li was distraught and traumatized by what his illness made him do. After he was apprehended and had clarity, he asked the police to kill him.

Having said that, I have trouble understanding how someone that ill can ever be a normal person in society. As much as he wants to be normal and it's not his fault, I just don't know if I am convinced that the greater good for society is to give him more independence. I know that if I found out he was moving in next door to me, I would be pretty nervous.
