The Nashville district attorney called on Wednesday for the Tennessee legislature to make it easier to commit someone to a mental institution after a man who was previously released for incompetence to stand trial was accused of shooting an 18-year-old college student in the head.
Belmont University student Jillian Ludwig, of New Jersey, was walking on a track in a local park when she was shot and critically wounded at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Metro Nashville Police. They arrested Shaquille Taylor, 29, after surveillance video and witness statements pointed to him as the shooter.
“Taylor was shooting at a car when a bullet hit Ludwig in the head as she walked on a track in a park across the street,” police said on social media when announcing the arrest Wednesday.
Yes. If that’s what you call a care facility.
In any case, he clearly shouldn’t be out in society. If he’s not responsible for his own actions, he should be in a place where other people are responsible. How can you actually advocate for a violent, mentally deficient man to be out and about, with access to guns? Clearly you don’t give a shit about his young victim and her family, or the kids and mother he terrorized previously.
When you’re threatening my family do you think I give a flying fuck about my attackers mental well being? It’s not my problem, it’s not my concern.
No.
I don’t call prison a care facility.
Not unsupervised, no. He should be granted access to shelter and provided treatment. He should have a permanent legal guardian. If he cannot afford one, or one does not volunteer, one should be appointed by the state. Our taxes should pay for a competent, trained, and well-staffed social services program that can meet demand and ensure his safety and the safety of others around him. He should be barred from owning or possessing a weapon. It’s amazing how many valid alternatives you can come up with when you go one step further than “hE sHoUlDn’T bE lEt OuT1!!!”
I didn’t say anything of the sort, jackass. Shove your knee-jerk righteous indignation where the sun don’t shine, broseph.
So long as you understand that you’re advocating that we indefinitely imprison the mentally ill, I don’t give a shit what you think, say, or do.
