The problem is figuring out who will harm. I know paranoid schizophrenics who have lived a whole life harming no one, some taking treatment, some who manage without it.

We can't condemn these people to a life in jail, just because sometimes bad people do bad things. I agree people should talk about their concerns, and talk with and help people that seem to be going off the rails. But as with everything in human life, there are a million shades of grey.
