All I see is a Liberal Socialist Democrat's (LSD's) and their controlled Media using a cover. To avoid reporting their actions and responsibility for the generating the situation, that likely played a major role in this.

But then again, now the same guilty LSD's have to explain why they emptied out the insane asylums and/or have 1,000's such violent people roaming the streets.

3 He will be arrested again and once again released. I suggest every time he is released that he be dropped off in front of the judges house.

4 Is a dog competent when it mauls and kills a child? Just remove the threat to society.

DeCarlos Brown is in federal custody on a federal indictment. The state proceedings, including any competency finding in those proceedings, are completely separate. https://t.co/yomEpaUPn4

7 Right now what the state would or would not do is irrelevant since the POS is in Federal custody. If the POS is determined to be incompetent to stand trial he'll either be sent to a psych facility that handles his type of mental illness or sent to a jail with a psych ward or wing.

Reagan was right & wrong when he closed the mental health facilities. "Warehousing" people not likely to harm themselves or others with a little care and proper medication should not be locked up for life. However people likely to harm themselves or others should not be out in society.

8 I go a step beyond you, Chantry. Those who do not accept the need to be medicated for their condition, and yet without medication are incapable of living a normal life — holding a job, caring for a home and themself — are better off warehoused, and society is better off without the low-functioning insane living on the streets. This mass homelessness nonsense has to stop — it is not kinder to those condemned to it.

9 Sure making a case for the people who think the sentences for crimes deliberately made vs. those who are emotionally out of control need to be flipped.

10 Able to stand trial or not, a hanging will solve the issue either way.

12 Great TV show. Put Brown schit and judge in a room with only ropes and trees. Let them decide who does who first.

Tired of this crap.

13 I don't understand why mental illness is a reason not to face consequence. Put them down!

14 I don't understand why mental illness is a reason not to face consequence.

It gives lawyers and psychiatrists a way to make a living at taxpayers expense.

But I'm sick and tired of hearing people blame Ronald Reagan for all the homeless nut cases and drug adddicts living on our streets, canyons and river beds. All they wanna do is blame Reagan. They don't want to actually do anything about it. If Reagan did something wrong, we've had forty, fifty or sixty years to fix it and yet it remains a problem. You can't keep blaming Reagan when subsequent politicians of all stripes, including Democrats, have had ample opportunity to fix the problem and failed.

15 If you are too dumb for our courts, you are too dumb to be an American Citizen. We need to normalize deporting.

16 vs. those who are emotionally out of control

His mother said he is schizophrenic, swksvolFF. Perhaps it could be controlled with medication, but he is homeless — free range and uninterested in help, a danger to all around him. Keeping him away from the unprepared is not punishment, but kindness.

Mere emotional incontinence has nothing to do with it.

17 I had a schizophrenic guy stab me in the throat,stomach , back , head and several other places. You can put all the mutherfuckers down for all I care.

18 The campfire argument goes: which is the greater general menace to society? A person who kills another in a cool, controlled, planned manner, or the person whose mind gets away and kills randomly? Basically, which should carry the greater penalty, 1st or 2nd degree murder?

I've heard both sides argued well, to the point I'm a third party of why make the distinction? I don't care if he was off meds, drunk, strung out, or doing what a book told him to do. I don't care what he was saying beforehand either. Fact is dude decided on a wind gust to murder somebody whose only provocation was crossing the murderer's path while minding their own business.

There's also the inside/outside the system, where outside are those with special conditions requiring medication, those who the system has failed and a pardon is necessary - those who are outside need a voucher from somebody inside the system, and those who vouch for a person outside the system should be held responsible when the 'suspect' is incapable of trial. That is, every person who signed off on Brown is accessory to murder (or murder as well, as some jurisdictions charge all involved in a crime with murder if there is a murder while crime is committed).
