    Should never have let him out of jail directly to the streets. You can clearly see that that boy is unstable.

      Out of jail? You must mean not letting him out the behavioral ward with out giving him proper meds. I even believe we should focus more on the abu**** dru**** father, I do wish him a speedy recovery however, as it is still sad this incident happened
