Yet again, someone with known mental issues isn't stopped until he kills someone, or in this sad case someones.
The Detroit Free Press: 2 found fatally stabbed in Sterling Heights
A 20-year-old man is in custody after police said he stabbed his grandfather and uncle to death and critically injured his grandmother in a Sterling Heights home Monday morning.
There's no real motive that we have as far as the reason for what he did," Smith said.Police do not believe alcohol or drugs are a factor.
"In interviewing him, he appears to be mentally unstable," Smith said.
Mental illness is a very large contributing factor to crime, especially violent crime. It's well past time to replace our current system of having a course of outpatient optional treatment followed by jail when someone goes off their meds and commits crimes or kills someone.
What to replace it with is the question.
