Scientologists (& Islamofascists) everywhere cheer this profound tragedy.
Dr. Fenton was, by all accounts, a great human being.

Many people with schizophrenia are withdrawn Except when they are taking their meds and then sometimes that makes them paranoid. I know someone who is dealing with this disease now. They are having a very hard time. But, he/she is the most kind hearted person that you would ever want to meet. He/she finds it difficult to ride an elevator without freaking out.

If he was that unstable, what we're his family or keeper's thinking letting him out in public alone and able to go off the deep end, as he did, at a moment's notice.

You know, I wouldn't accept a leading paragraph like that in a novel, much less in a serious news piece.

... about the dangers of allowing patients with severe psychosis to go without medication...the problem is that no one wants to "allow" patients to go without medication - but many of them don't want to take that medication once out in the community and feeling more in control because of their meds - they decide to stop taking them on their own - with the continuing push for further "deinstitutionalization" of mental patients and the unfortunate trend toward fewer community resources like well-staffed crisis evaluation centers, where the young man in this story should have been seen, the problem will get worse......

I guess anytime you start pokin around in someone's head, there are good things you might find there and dangerous things... very dangerous... as well.
It is a sad incident, though. I will never understand societies obsession/expectation with being totally safe no matter what they do. I see the car crash tests and think "Well, that's nice, but it's way better if you don't smash into something at 75 miles an hour in the first place."
