    I’m a bit annoyed at the lack of charges unless she was criminally incompetent. We need to be empathetic to folks with mental illness but not every bipolar person does this shit, ‘batshit’ doesn’t mean ‘incompetent,’ and a disability doesn’t negate consequences.

    I imagine a lot of these people with serious MH issues would’ve been killed (by someone) back in the day. Now we just deal with them. But that doesn’t mean we should just ignore what they do and give them a free pass to commit crimes.
