Yes, I read the report. My point is that as a society we're in denial about those who are troubled. We refuse to institutionalize people with serious mental health problems until AFTER they commit heinous crimes. There are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people out there who need help but we're ignoring them. Some of them are going to snap, and when they do we'll talk again about how people had chances to intervene but didn't.
