Who gets to decide who the nut cases are? One persons nut case may be another persons patriot...
Agree!
That is a problem and always has been.
Mental competence hearings have been abused in the past.
Nothing is perfect. We can keep our present system if you like.
If you want to say, “These mass shootings are exaggerated far beyond the problem they really. Point out that more people were killed in Chicago over the weekend at roughly the same time of these two in Ohio & Texas”.
I will whole heartedly agree with you!
However I still say that the decisions made in the 1970s to adopt the practice of moving the mentally ill out of institutions into society - mainstreaming without accounting for proper supervision & the age of majority was the wrong decision. It harms them & harms society . It was made to save the state money not improve mental health.
