We're acting like it's a foregone conclusion that he's going to go off his med and kill again. Except no one has been able to point out this happening in Canada before. I mean, to me that's pretty irrational.

There is no actual cure for schizophrenia. Medication and therapy are treatments. It can and does recur.
Nobody has said he will kill again, and in fact, he's not likely to kill again because he is receiving treatment, which is why he was released.
But that's not enough for my own comfort zone. He moves next door or near me, I start taking precautions. I don't care if nobody has ever cut someone's head off and then did it again a few years later after treatment. Once is enough. I'm not going to wait to find out who becomes the first.
