he's not a convicted felon yet,but if he is and firearms and or ammo in his possession he goes to jail, federal offense

The guy obviously has mental issues.

Hopefully, a way will soon be found to separate him from the populace before either he or someone else...gets physically hurt.

Very true.

Nuisance that we must put up with. It happens.

I'll bet this poor family has been through hell and back trying to deal with him. I have a great deal of sympathy for them.

With thee proposed cuts to mental illness I doubt very much there will be much help for this man. We really need to put more resources into mental health for the well being of not just those afflicted but for the benefit of the populace in general. I keep hoping the the brain studies will find answers. To many people suffer and it cost a fortune not to find solutions

Publicly funded mental health resources have suffered cuts for decades. Emergency rooms all over the country are flooded with deeply disturbed individuals waiting for treatment facilities, especially those in governmental centers.

On any given day in Las Vegas alone, hospital ERs may hold 30-40 mentally distressed patients. It may take 7-10 days before an available treatment slot is found for them. This compromises their care as well as the care of patients who need true ER care. I'm sure this situation is repeated in hospitals all over the country every day.

The homeless represent a disproportionate share of the mentally ill. But this is nothing new. In the late '70's states began deinstitutionalizing the long term mentally ill who were locked away. This was done with the promise of building and funding outpatient mental health care centers...but the promise was never kept.
