I hope he gets the help he needs ? Give me a break. He knew exactly what he was doing. What he needs is 25 years in prison.

[@NuraCaicedo-xh2ok]

The only thing I can think of is that he was either in debt or he just didn't want to be responsible for his life anymore because they said he has no mental health he worked in the hospital and he lives in the house

And after paying for his food and housing with my own tax money for 25 years he can go out and stab some more people? Maybe even me? THat's pretty stupid.

Dude was bugged out. Witnesses and the victims themselves heard him talking to himself with incoherent words/gibberish. A lunatic on the prowl. Probably drugs as he held a paying job though had to be already somewhat mentally unstable for what was likely drugs to send him over the edge.

[@JW-dc8hk]

I wish all the victims a full and fast recovery. Mental health has been an issue for our country for a long time. We need to address it in a meaningful way FINALLY and offer wide spread mental health services in the form of health insurance preferably. “Throwing him in jail” as one says serves the purpose of people feeling good about him being punished, which of course he should but being rehabilitated will cure our society way down the line. We already did all the punishing already! This man is a product of us throwing people in jail for decades and that accumulative effect is the result!! Let’s stop and think ourselves out of this for a change. Let’s stop saying old slogans such as “Yeah real good that’ll do” or “Don’t give me that” and instead have a real meaningful change in our mind-sets, dealings and conversations. If we keep doing more of the same then the same happens. LETS THINK. There’s no such thing as thinking too much but there’s such a thing as thinking not enough.

[@TheophileJulien-gl6vy]

While mental issue is a problem that needs to be addressed but the people play a major role in their mental states by smoking and trying new arrival drugs full of chemicals

No one’s established he has any mental illness whatsoever. He stabbed 4 people he needs to be locked up.

[@JW-dc8hk]

@@irisessex90 Haha I think it’s very clear that he has established he has a mental illness just by the fact that he committed those acts. What percentage of the human population goes around doing that. These kinds of acts aren’t part of any human baseline culture that’s accepted. Just the idea that can’t identify that easy and simple says so much about your own mental health or at least your education and I would argue that someone with a low educational level could be a root cause for degrading mental health

[@JW-dc8hk]
