So.. you're gonna excuse all crimes committed by mentally ill people?

That is exactly what our legal system does in many cases.

Not really. Usually, they get locked up in mental hospitals until "cured." See: John Hinckley Jr.

No one in the Law Enforcement or Family has given any indication that she has a mental problem. Did her parents know about the February incident? It doesn't sound like it.

I'm guessing that the Police went on TV because they had put out a picture AND a warning and and for no other reason.

Wonder how many tips they got??
