That article prompted “Liz” to reply in part: So when will serious considerations of the management of the mentally ill be addressed? Not all homeless people are mentally ill and not all who have shelter are mentally healthy! Many problems can be solved without imprisoning or, as was recently suggested, even killing people who are mentally ill! What happened next was an emphasis on not housing the mentally ill in hospitals. This is how you end up with a mentally ill person stabbing a woman on the light rail in Charlotte.
