It isn’t the drugs that cause these conditions.
It is that they are permitted to roam on their own without legal guardianship.
They have already been diagnosed as troubled. A chemical imbalance has been assessed and it is being “treated”.
A drunk in a bar or in a car does not need to get into a fight or an accident in order to be arrested and sentenced so there is precedence for “pre-emptive” protective arrest.
If you’ve been diagnosed as unaccountable for your potential actions by reason of insanity, then you should be committed to “house arrest” (ankle monitoring device) and escorted by a legal guardian when in public.
Then even if the drugs don’t work or you skip some doses, you are still stuck at home with someone watching you.
Why should a chemically altered state be accepted just because it happens “naturally”?
It was said that Cho was functional. No. Cho could “pass” for normal (although there were warning signs to the contrary). He was not “functional” as he lashed out in a severe way last week. That is a serious MALFUNCTION.
Just curious: What are these "chemicals?" Do they have names?
