This is a terrible tragedy and awful end to a brutal year. It is a system failure that resulted in irreversible harm to two families. My heart goes out to the families of the victims. We will hold the man who did this accountable. We will support the families of the victims
I know in this particular incident these solutions do not apply. But even then, treating this person instead of throwing them away will have a much greater likelihood of preventing future crime.

Where's your evidence that leniency again to "this person" (i.e., Troy McAlister specifically) will prevent future crime? Or is it an article of faith?

I have no evidence. That would involve someone learning his story, having empathy, and figuring out how to help. And it should someone trained to do precisely these things. The rest of us can support and understand that *this* is how you reduce crime and save lives all around.
