BTW,I have a serious question that I THINK I already know the answer to,but I do not know the specifics in any respect.
Given the technology and record-keeping ability of gooberments today,HOW THE HELL is it possible for creatures like this to advance THAT far into insanity and violence without "the authorities/their families or coworkers" taking notice and then taking action to prevent it from happening?
I am positive there are VERY rare cases of someone just "popping their tops" and going from respectable and peaceful citizen to Mad Max with no warning whatsoever,but I expect they are rarer than virgins in college.
SO........,WTH are we,as a society,NOT holding the courts,judges,police,social workers,etc,etc,etc responsible for NOT reporting these people to the courts so they can be detained and found to be either safe or dangerous?
Is this not WHY the courts and prisons exist?
BTW,I am NOT trying to claim the public officials mentioned above are physic. I am just stating that given their educations,their positions,and their authority,they SHOULD be in a position to notice a breakdown as it is happening. People do NOT go from being a peaceful,law-abiding citizen to a mad dog psycho killer overnight. It is a gradual process,and we ALREADY HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE NOTE OF THESE BREAKDOWNS BEFORE THEY BECOME DEADLY.
I am also NOT saying "lock these people up and throw away the key!" just because they SEEM to be "losing their personal cool".
AND......,if the people in the court system,the mental health/public health system,as well as various related agencies can not do this,WHY THE HELL are we paying them? Fire them and hire somebody willing to do the damn job!
After all,how complex can it be for a social worker type to suspect someone is losing their grip,and then make an appointment for them to come in and seek professional help for their problem,IF they have a problem? Pretty much everybody that is a part of that "system" is already on a list and receiving government compensation as well as medical care every month. Tell them they either come in and cooperate or their monthly checks get cut off and they have arrest warrants issued.
Yes,I do realize that neither this or any other system is perfect,but just look at how many lives can be saved by just spotting and going after the most obvious ones?
AND,of course,anyone detained by this program WILL be represented in court by a legal aide attorney.
Even nutcases have rights that need to be protected.
