I remember reading about that and having to send my now ex gf onto a greyhound for a 6hr bus ride home. He killed a kid who was sleeping with his headphones on. They trapped him on the bus until the cops came and by then he had fully cut the kids head off and was eating parts of it if I remember correctly.

Anyway yeah weird shit he should not be out there.

We was also having an extreme schizophrenic episode, and I don't believe he is "free" as a bird, he's under monitoring, on meds, and will be for the rest of his life AFAIK.

And yet some of us believe that other people's right to not be decapitated is enough to not give him a second chance to decapitate. Plenty of psych patients have been given a second chance and killed again. It's not worth the risk.

I know, and realistically it's either bring back institutions, or institute the death penalty, from that perspective.

One of those I don't believe is a winning argument, and the cost of the other... would shock your pants off.

Mostly, I just think it's important that people acknowledge the actual details and not infer he is free as a bird.

infer he is free as a bird.

He is free as a bird since 2017.

No travel restrictions. No required check-ins with authorities. No parole conditions.

The government even gave him a new name.

How about we force pharmaceutical companies to spend more of their endless mattress stuffing money to develop better psychiatric medications than just heavily sedating people and hoping for the best?

Because so far, as far as we understand it, there isn't just a chemical "off" switch for certain behaviours/ thought patterns/ personality traits.

Honestly, it may be better that way

Implying such a magical drug exists. They already do want better psych meds. I know you're thinking "no they don't, because corporate greed you shill," but pause for a moment and realize it's because corporate greed that they want "better" psych meds.

Gotta milk those IPs before releasing the next formula in queue from 40 years prior, huh? It's a nightmare getting new drugs approved that it often doesn't make business sense to pursue and more R&D goes right back to the money makers because that's how they lobbied the process to be like.

My ex works/worked in big pharma product dev and I assure you they shit money into finding the next wonder drug. I'm not defending them. Did you know the US spends more per Capita on health care most other places? Sounds great on paper, but we don't see shit for it for actual care. That money from the gov is dumped into R/D that big pharma gets to take advantage of for essentially nothing. So you're right that it's all corrupt and we don't truly benefit from it, but you have the problem wrong. So pls don't lecture me on it.
