The fact is these people died horribly, what actually DOES need work is finding those who are mentally ill, or sociopaths, or just plain criminals and get them help or have them in a secure facility.

Mental wards, jails and hospitals CAN be run efficiently and humanely.
But the funding has to be there.

Not umpty-billion $$$ for the latest toys for the Pentagon and their corrupt acquisition system.
