He'd be confined to a mental institution where he could be thoroughly treated -- and kept off the streets unless and until he is no longer a hazard to anyone.

Under what circumstances is the author willing to have Routh living in the house next-door to him?

Nobody is suggesting he didn’t need in-patient treatment or just confinement. Kyle was correct: he was “straight-up nuts.”

And the two victims were also nuts to take a guy they just met and knew nothing about to a rifle range, and turn their backs on him. Sorry, that was idiot stupid. Take him to a zoo, take him horseback riding, take him on a trail hike.

DON’T TAKE HIM TO A SHOOTING RANGE AND GIVE HIM A GUN after texting that he was “straight-up nuts.”

Seldom an issue. people hospitalized for NGRI purposes generally spend longer times in confinement than those imprisoned for the same offenses. If you want to keep the public safe, nothing wrong with NGRI findings, rare as they actually are.
