The issue here is society's lack of dealing effectively with people suffering neuro-brain disorders. The psychiatric community is way behind in discovering effective treatments and often doctors misdiagnose disorders. Care workers are found far too often to abuse or ignore these patients. The police agencies are not properly trained and fail miserably in containing situations often actually exacerbating them..Families unable to cope toss these folks to the curb. Then we have the fine balance of civil rights vis a vis safety issues for the public.
In the city Geel Beligum people with neuro-brain disorders live with host families. If they need hospitalization then they are taken to the hospital treated and returned to their host families. Living normally along with Geel residents provides a stable and normal environment for people with mental disorders. As a society in same manner or way we need to deal with this societal problem and prhaps we can reduce some suffering

Good thoughts, Rubicon.
Still do not see James Holmes as someone with a mental illness. He reminds me a little bit of Ted Bundy. Except that Ted Bundy had great social skills. I have never heard Ted Bundy described as having a mental illness. Both look like they knew exactly what they were doing and planned things out very carefully.
Some of these mass killers could have been stopped though if more people had tried to help them.
