Thank the Supreme Court if you enjoyed this tragedy. Now, he qualifies for involuntary treatment. Around the world 10% of murders are committed by paranoid people, that's 80000 in the world, 1500 in the US. The know nothing, dumbass Supreme Court took over psychiatry when no abuse was going on, just leftist fake propaganda. They put a trial employing 3 lawyers between medical necessity and treatment. The stupidity of the rent seeking Supreme Court is 100% the cause of these totally preventable murders.

What a nitpicky oppressive tyrannical attack by the Supreme Court on the American Way of Life. They took the side of oddball American haters.
Meanwhile, the lawyer profession plagiarizes its practices and laws on homicide from the Catholic Catechism. The Supreme Court looks like a church. The Justices are wearing the robe of a priest. They sit on an church altar. The audience is standing and sitting. You have an idiot, failed, ridiculous, worthless adversarial system copied from the disputation method of Scholasticism, a Catholic philosophy. These Justices believe in mind reading, in forecasting rare events, and that standards of conduct should be set by a fictitious character. The reason the dude has to be fictitious is that he is really Jesus. To the credit of the Church, they attributed these supernatural powers to God judging a soul after death. That is their faith. The Church gave up Scholasticism in the 19th Century. The lawyer moves more slowly to update its beliefs, than the Catholic Church. Yet, the Supreme Court remains oblivious to these violations of the Establishment Clause deep within the lawyer profession.
