I've always thought it was unjust to find people guilty for their actions when they are seriously mentally ill like this dude . But as a society, we need to protect ourselves from dangerous people. If he is healthy and no risk to society when he is on his meds then I think it's fine for him to be freed, but there should be some requirement that he show up at an official location each day and take his meds in front of an official so we know he's taking them.

Can't have active cannibals walking around.

... at what cost glatt? I'm not disagreeing, but I'm getting lost in the logistics of that idea.

Well, if he was locked up in a hospital or prison and given meds, that's the alternative. And both of those things are way more expensive than forcing him to show up at the local precinct station and take a pill in front of a cop.

This is all assuming the meds make him healthy and not a danger.

'A tacky monstrosity': Giant sculpture of Jeremy Clarkson's head appears in garden.

Name:  It will frighten the horses..jpg

A massive sculpture of Jeremy Clarkson’s head has been called “a tacky monstrosity” after a family won a competition to have it in their garden.

Zohaib Alam, 15, entered The Grand Tour Twitter competition for his dad to win the 6ft fibreglass sculpture of the former Top Gear host’s head.

“My dad loves the show and I love those types of programmes too,” the teenager, who lives in Salford, told the Manchester Evening News.

“I tweeted the show after I saw the competition and suddenly I got a tweet back to say our front garden was big enough for Jeremy Clarkson’s head.

“I know Jeremy Clarkson has got a big head but we said it would fit after we found out the dimensions. It was amazing when we found out that we had won. It’s the first time we’ve won anything.”
In gentler times it would have been covered by a sheet lest it frighten the horses.

BYOB BYOR BYOD

BYOB, bring your own bottle, right?

Nope, bring your own bullet. BYOR, bring your own rope. Or, BYOD, bring your own drugs. Your own lethal injection drugs. Really, you can't make this shit up.
