My friend said he spoke to a relative of Routh's who told him Ryan Routh is a Peter Pan type of loon. He is an ultra idealist who jumps from one obsession to another. He gets paranoid, jumpy, anxious, depressed, he is filled with self-hatred and has a low level of self esteem. The relative said the Routh family suspects Routh has the mentality of a 13 year old. Routh has never achieved anything in his life. He has led a life of dreams and lies and self-deception. He is not crazy, technically but he's the kind of man who has done his share of drugs and booze throughout his life. He said Routh has bragged he is psychic and can speak to spirits. He is known for a disheveled appearance and has been seen talking to himself a lot. He did not appear to have many friends and it is little wonder why.

[@conkaiserdor]

Sadly, in this country, speaking up when you see something suspicious often yields no results. Authorities may respond, question the individual, and then release them without further action. Tragically, this can lead to devastating consequences, such as a perpetrator going on to commit a heinous crime that could have been prevented if action had been taken earlier. The system fails to intervene effectively, allowing potentially dangerous individuals to slip through the cracks because they haven't yet crossed the line into criminal behavior.

[@kevinmiller-ri4mo]

The "system" has to follow the constitution. It may not be perfect but it does protect the innocent from being unfairly denied their rights.
