Title: Some bloke just went nuts...
Post by: Flipside on December 23, 2004, 01:35:57 pm
At the train station about a mile from my house, some bloke just lost his rag completely, and stabbed 6 people. One person dead. Expect to see it on BBC soon, no doubt :(

Heard it the radio.  They said he was a Turkish guy with mental problems.  This country sucks at keeping crazies off the streets...

: Applauds Edmonton council :

Doesn't surprise me, it's not the first time someone's had serious violent mental problems, and been overlooked or allowed into society.

Good old care in the community.

Or is that 'take care of the community' ?

Sad, but not very surprising. These people are barely monitored. There's a maximum security hospital not far from where I live actually - had the likes of Rose West and the Bulger killers there. The security around the place looks very impressive, but I doubt there's anything as strong when it comes to the "care in the community" cases.

I think it's right up there with the US. Here, crazy people kill other people just so they can get treatment for their problem, otherwise they wouldn't get anything.

In a local mental hospital for criminals (Grote Beek, IIRC) they lost the master key. The management wouldn't change the locks, because no locksmith could be found so soon before christmas......

Right.

You're right. It would have been better if it were in a church.
