Nobody has mentioned that Iowa does not allow capital punishment. The better question here is if Iowa had capitol punishment, would this homeless guy have done what he did. Now, he is no longer homeless with winter on the horizon and gets to look forward to a life of three meals a day, an hour of recreation and a roof over his head all paid for by the tax payer, and if he takes an insanity plea, he can get re-released at some point.

He should therefore be thrown into the octagon with Rhonda Rousey ...

The Left wants to avoid it because they see institutionalization as against individual liberty.

The Right doesn't want to pay for it.

Nah, the left has nothing against institutionalizing the mentally ill if they pose a danger to themselves or others.

You can thank Reagan for current lack of mental health facilities. Liberals warned that this would happen 30-odd years ago when he started shutting down them down (you know the old line o' patter: trickle down, small government, trickle down, small government, blah, blah).

And here we are. Reagan's long gone, but his moronic legacy lives on.

Applause. Everything my dad predicted about Reagan came true. He said it would lead to corporate greed, thereby exploding the gap between rich and middle class, with fewer pensions and fewer ways for people without a college education to provide for their family.

More than anything, dad said Reagan was enabling hate by dividing the classes. Then Rosalyn Carter summed it up best of all, regarding Reagan: “I think the President makes us comfortable with our prejudices,” she said.

Trump took what was already there and allowed them to not only feel comfortable but to believe it was necessary and somehow patriotic.

As you state nonsense you did not include in your satirical analysis prison hierarchy. Said killer will be a convicted sex offender. Ask Jeff Dahmer.

Idiot alert and butthurt liberal over Hillary's HUGE loss. Obama was almost as bad as she would have been. You want to interject politics into a thread, then others can as well. What a piece of trash you are.

The national guard could enforce loitering and trespassing laws. If somebody doesn’t have a place to live, we can put them in supervised housing and create work projects that would provide meaning in life Work would get done, it provides housing for the homeless, and it makes the country safer. You know which side would not like making people work.

This actually isn’t a bad idea. You create secure token communities and reintegrate people into society, it used to done all the time. As in the UK, the solutions to homelessness and lower level mental health disorders are not particularly complex - they just need funding. In the UK, we have a disproportionately high number of ex-service personnel that are homeless with lower level mental health needs. The solution is integrated and comprehensive post discharge care, it doesn’t exist to the scale that is should. Again, the solutions are actually very easy...and the one sad irony...we spend trillions fighting wars and always find the money! Yet when it comes to looking after ex-service personnel (or any member of society!) we don’t have the funding...

BLAME CANADA! Even if Canada were safer, that safety arrives in equal measure with pure blandness and vast nothingness. The US is dynamic, ever morphing, world-leading in so many domains, while you feel smug, which you call safe.

Also, life is a crapshoot, for all of us. It's heartbreaking that she was murdered in such a random act of ugliness but it's a reminder of the truth of our existence.

That's deep,bro!

Not guilty by reason of insanity is extremely rare and has to be approved by a jury. There is no such thing as taking an insanity plea. The food is likely to be crappy and most people would trade the free roof for freedom. It's very unlikely he will ever be released.

Just saw the news on this. Very sad. Another random act of violence, and this time with numerous people around. Also another workplace shooting today. 3rd one in the past week.
