Much like in the UK… you don’t get any help unless you’re a very real suicide risk, which ironically drives more people to suicide attempts as they’re really struggling but can’t get help. Horrible.

I’ve known a couple of schizophrenics over the years. I hope they’re ok. As this proves, left to their own devices, the damage is so much worse and affects many people, obviously the poor girl in this attack but also many people who loved that person and were close to him that he was also violent to.

Ultimately it’s a financial decision made by some people very far removed from the situation. I don’t think many people in the money scene really have much understanding of it and only think ‘let’s build a wall and forget about it, it’s fine so long as the crazy person isn’t near me’.
