We must return to institutionalizing the psychotic among us, including psychotic juveniles. They do not have to be madhouses as in the 19th century, but society must separate such people from itself if it ever wants to continue in relative freedom.

This all began with the Community Mental Health Act of 1963, and the resulting deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill. The mental illness advocates will say that the vast majority of mentally ill individuals are harmless and at most a risk to themselves. And that's true. Maybe one in a million crazy people is crazy enough and capable enough for a mass shooting. But that one in a million is enough.

Medical treatment of mental illness is much more effective in 2018 than it was in 1963. Unfortunately, we can't force treatment and the vast majority of mental hospital beds are no more.

#19: "We must return to institutionalizing the psychotic … They do not have to be madhouses as in the 19th century"

I disagree—they should be like 19th century madhouses. Those madhouses seem to have done a pretty good job. I guess Hollywood movies get people weirded out about them. But you can't argue with success. That was a far saner world than the present.

False. What utter crapola. And the families are left struggling trying to deal with it by themselves.
