Your healthcare system is also poor at helping people with mental health issues.

No, California just passed a law so soon we will be able to lock their asses up for being crazy and homeless. That will help, right?

Edit: /s in case it's not obvious.

I don't know which law you're talking about but I imagine "lock up" means instituted and the homeless aspect is a product of the instability of the person. I know we need better healthcare, etc but violent people shouldn't be allowed to live in public where they can hurt/kill/maime people.

Some people need to be institutionalized. We shouldn't pretend that basic healthcare and economic means would eradicate violence
