I'm not sure who wouldn't agree with that. Other than the grifters wanting to stoke the racial flames and the people brainwashed by them, everyone should see it like that.

We have to bring mental institutions back. The family needs to be sued by NYC and the people who he attacked. Put the onus on the family to do something instead of ignoring the problem.

This is a great deal more complicated than people think it is. You don't just walk into a mental health facility and say you have a family member who needs help and they're welcomed with open arms. Far from it. You can see a shrink on the regular and have an 'episode' and be hard pressed to be admitted into an inpatient facility. And that's if you have insurance. If you don't have insurance it takes an act of God in order to get treatment. 

100% of the time the first thing they do is change your meds if you're on any because they assume that's the problem. If you aren't taking any they put you on whatever they think you should be on without even talking to you first. They get you 'stable,' which usually takes 72 hours for reasons unknown to me, then they cut you loose. If you have insurance they might keep you longer. There is no actual care for these folks. 

My uncle ended up committing suicide because he couldn't get the help he desperately needed.
