      No, they should be locked up somewhere until they receive sufficient treatment to straighten them out.

        they should be locked up somewhere

        Well there’s some medieval thinking right there.

          Okay, how do you think violent mentally ill people should be treated?

            Don’t know, I’m not an expert on that. But locking them in a dark room somewhere out of sight isn’t the answer. The whole “until they receive sufficient treatment” is the missing piece in the puzzle, because that doesn’t happen. That’s the part I’d like to see get fixed instead of spending money on torturing them.

              If you would have read my entire comment you would see that I said they should receive treatment…

                And if you read mine you’d see me saying that doesn’t happen so it’s a worthless argument.

                  Neither does locking them up. I did not propose one or the other. It was a package deal.

                    I’ll line up right behind you once I see the government funding the treatment part.

        Then they should get their guns back upon release.
