How is it irrational - if you were in his immediate vicinity - to be concerned he might stop taking his medications and potentially lash out again?
I think that couldn't be a
more rational fear.
We're not talking about a guy who might get in his car and drive drunk, we're talking about a guy who is capable of hearing voices instructing him to cut someone's head off and eat them and then do it.
I think the very sane and rational notion anyone of us in our right minds wouldn't want this guy (unsupervised) near us or our families underlines the fact that releasing him to ensure he self-medicates is a grossly irresponsible decision.

"They" make a lot of short sighted, dangerous and laughable decisions every year in every facet of society. That instills zero confidence.
