Absolutely no excuse for killing a little boy. His life is over and he will never ride his bike again. He will never go to prom or college. And no body cares because his killer is "mentally ill". I work with mentally ill people and they don't go around killing little boys riding their bikes. This man has an extensive violent history and was allowed to continue to terrorize the country. Meanwhile 14 year old girls with undeveloped brains and history of mental illness are locked up indefinitely for stabbing their friend (who survived). Anyone who has the ability to kill another human suffers from some sort of diminshed mental capacity in some way or another. There is a part of their brain that is not working like the rest of the non violent population. So I have to ask, where is the backstop? Where is the line? This boy should be alive and our country is continuing to let violent people kill while locking away innocent people who become ruined by the prison system and institutions they are banished to.
