hope everything's OK there.

A lot of violent people are, sadly, quite sane and otherwise fairly rational.

I'm quite sure a relative wasn't just misunderstood, but needed a bit of help when she heard voices, didn't want to stay in her apartment because of the spirits, withdrew all her money from the bank because the people there were conspiring against her, and wandered the streets of NY late at night.

Apologies for my apparent flippancy - I do not intend to offend. It's difficult to make the point in such a small space with so few words, I was attempting to address a larger picture. Allo Allo was a British satirical comedy concerning the Nazi occupation in France (hence the tagline 'I shall say this only once'). I suggest, very sadly, that you are wrong. Violent people are demonstrably not sane or rational - especially when under orders. I promise that I understand your concerns lie closer to home at the moment. But people.never forget.
