I agree, but there is the issue of what if he goes after someone else in a state of delusion or some other fit.  As children we accompanied a friend from Talkeetna to pick up 8 sets of skis from a man in Palmer, Charlie Overby.  His neighbor was elderly, paranoid and delusional.  That man fired a shotgun into our radiator.  The shooter questioned us in a driveway so he knew there were 3 children in the car.  The state troopers were familiar with this man's problems and nothing was ever done.  He wasn't put in a facility or incarcerated or treated for his problems. I don't know what ever came of him or if he had a repeat episode.
